FAQs

To prepare a quote, I need some basic information, such as the type of photos (e.g. portraits, event photography or product photography), the occasion of the shoot, the location of the photos, the number of people or subjects, whether additional models are required and the intended use of the photos (e.g. private or commercial).

You can arrange an initial consultation at any time – by phone, video call or in person. It’s a good opportunity to clarify your questions and develop ideas together.

The earlier you book your appointment, the better your chances of getting the date you want, as we can then plan everything without any time pressure.

Short-term bookings are sometimes possible, but this depends on my availability. If I do not have a free appointment, I will be happy to help you with a recommendation.

I offer special conditions for social projects or NGOs. Otherwise, the following applies: The quality and reliability of my work are the focus, so there are no general discounts.

As for clothing, choose something you feel comfortable in and feel free to bring a change of clothes in different colours and styles. Props that match the idea can also enhance the shoot. It’s best to discuss this with me in advance.

Whether styling or make-up is necessary depends on the shoot. In many cases it is not absolutely necessary, but professional make-up and hairstyling can significantly improve your well-being and therefore the result. I work with experienced stylists and make-up artists who I am happy to recommend or book for your appointment.

If you have your own ideas or inspirational images, be sure to bring them to the preliminary meeting. They will help us to agree on the desired style and visual language and incorporate them into the shoot. However, experience has shown that it is not so easy to change arrangements on the day of the shoot, as I have prepared the date accordingly.

After the shoot, I edit each image carefully. This includes white balance, tonal value and colour corrections. For portraits, I also offer detailed skin retouching if desired.

Complex image retouching can also be offered for large advertising productions. This always makes sense if a motif consists of several images or if a certain effect is easier to realise in post-production than on set.

How long the post-processing takes depends on the project. While simple colour corrections can be done quite quickly, complex retouching takes more time. If it is urgent, I am flexible and can also work under time pressure. For event photography in particular, we can agree that the images will be edited and sent out on the spot.

I prefer to photograph on location or at special locations. If controlled conditions are required, I have a studio at my disposal and I also bring mobile equipment with me.

After the shoot, you will receive an invoice that you can pay conveniently by bank transfer. Payment by instalments is possible if you wish. Additional costs, such as for travelling or special requirements, are listed in advance in the offer – there are no hidden costs.

As a rule, I do not release raw files, as they are only the first step in the creative process.

I keep your pictures for the long term so that you can still place repeat orders years later.

You will receive them as high-resolution JPGs, and TIFF files are also available on request.

During the shoot, we can view interim results on a monitor.
I provide a preview of the selected images in an online lightbox, usually within 24 hours. After your selection, the final processing takes about two working days. If you are in a particular hurry, I can also edit the images on site and send them to you directly.

You can order additional pictures or high-quality prints at any time. I also offer the design of photo books or printing as fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper up to A3.
