Photoshoot Details

Here I have some basic information regarding photoshoots, this pertains strictly to regular convention photoshoots; if you're looking for personal/commercial/other types of photography/videography services you can email me with specific requests.

*Photoshoot bookings will start 30 days prior to any con that I'll be attending.

Please wait for the announcement post as I will not take any requests before then.

Sending me an early email will not save you a spot in line. 

Process

• Photoshoots are either $30 or $50 per session, depending if you choose a 30 or 60 minute Time slot.
• Each additional model is an extra $20, payment should be made AT the shoot.
• Your preferred Photoshoot location should be at or somewhat near the convention area.
• You will receive a minimum of 5 photos for a 30 min shoot, or 11 photos if 60 min shoot, with an additional 3-5 extra for each person to the overall count including group shots. Each photo is at 2K resolution. Waiting time varies but I will see that it doesn't go past 2-3 weeks.
• You may request for more than 1 photoshoot, but it will depend on the overall demand whether I can accommodate them, if even your first shoot. I'll be giving everyone an equal opportunity.
• Upon meeting-up, have a location in chosen where you want to shoot at; I can offer suggestions but would point to you being the first judge of where you'd like to shoot.
• Bring a multitude of poses for me to capture! Reference photos help. Similar note, try and keep the shoot to 1-2 nearby locations, I don't want to go on long expeditions to multiple locations unless its something we specifically plan, this would also cut into your shoot time!
• Once I'm done processing your shoot, I will send you an email containing a link to a ZIP folder containing your photos.

Thank you! : )

Here are some etiquette notes:

• Cosplayers in groups should be from the same series.
• If you're running late, just shoot me a text to let me know. 
• 5-10 minutes isn't a big issue, but if you're half hour late, that time will be unfortunately taken out of the shooting time as I need to keep my schedule in order and may impact future shoot requests.
• If you feel the need to cancel, contact me first we'll see if we can work something out. Please don't inform me 5 minutes prior to the shoot that you cannot make it because you couldn't get your costume complete the night before.
• Upon receiving your photos, PLEASE DO NOT crop the photos to change orientation, make heavy modifications, remove watermark, or add cartoony effects.
• You may, however, crop the photo so it works as an avatar image, or for a banner showcasing your costumes; go for it!
• You may make *minor* additional changes to the photos with the intent of enhancing the photo. You may feel that a certain image looks a bit too dark or too desaturated sometimes, but understand this is the way I edited the photo despite a variety of factors how you see t.
• No matter how much someone works on an image, someone else can always take the image and keep editing creatively.
• IF you do make any modification, please run it by me first to OK-it as I've had some quality-issues in the past, we both only want great-quality photos of YOUR cosplay to be showcased!
• When posting the images, include credit in the description, and make mention of any small edits you may have made which may include small items photoshopped-in that you forgot to bring to the shoot; I will not be editing-in any forgotten props.
• You do not have rights to sell images to third-party publishers. However, they can talk to me for any use/licensing of my images, I'm certain we can work something out.
• I reserve the rights to use the images for publication, promotions, blog posts and online showcasing. 
• If you're up all night before the photoshoot and can't get your costume done in time and decide to wear something else, no sweat! Just let me know of the change : )
