FAQs - Questions and Answers
Some of the most frequently answered questions I’ve come across in my work as a photographer , all on one page :
What types of photography do you specialise in?
What photography do I make in my personal work?
Where are you based? Which areas can you cover?
Within my practice I can take on a wide variety of projects - although primarily I offer documentary photography for events in the arts/heritage sector , I also have photographed architectural and personal branding projects. Finally I've been involved in mentoring young photographers and operating a series of photography workshops with clients including the NHS.
My personal work as a photographer involves me exploring cities and settlements within the UK and doing street and urban landscape photography - see here.
Are you currently running photography workshops?
While I'm currently focussed on my commissioned photography , I'm always happy to offer private one-on-one photography tuition for those who are looking to take their work to the next level. Email me at [email protected] for more info - I'd be happy to also run and set up bespoke team building events around photography.
Do you photograph weddings?
Do you offer consultations?
I'm happy to meet up and discuss projects and briefs in more detail either in person or via video call if needs be , happy to discuss this via email.
Are you insured and certified?
Do you offer video production?
I have photographed weddings for those who I already have a personal connection with but I don't anticipate including this in my current client offer for the time being.
I have £5m public liability cover as part of my business insurance along with a full enhanced DBS certificate (with Update Service) viewable on request.
Although I currently work with still images I'm happy to be sent briefs which also have video elements - I believe the best approach would be to partner with specialists in video production to deliver that aspect of the brief and make the most out of our production capabilities - two companies I recommend are Nottingham-based Space Face Films and Sidedoor Studio.
Based in Nottingham and happy to work across the UK , primarily my work is within the East Midlands.
Outside Nottingham and Derby I might need to charge travel expenses , and overnight stays if further afield but this will be considered on a case by case basis.
Are there any reviews of my work from clients?
I have gathered a series of success stories from my clients which can be seen here , showcasing my unique approach to problem solving.
What is your typical pricing?
Many of my projects are bespoke so I have tended not to give pricing on the website previously.
However ,as a guide my minimum would be £150 for the first hour's coverage for an event , and then there would be half (3.5h) and full days (7.5H) which are discounted on this hourly rate. I’m also happy to work to a given budget for larger projects over a longer period of time , and can advise what can be delivered based on that.
How are fees settled?
Typically I would issue an invoice upon delivery of the final files via Wetransfer - this will include my business bank details for BACS payment , payable 14 days after submission of invoice.
For larger projects I'm happy to accept an offer of payment via instalments.
