PROOF GALLERIES
Web galleries include photos that have been “digitally processed” (edited) for color, exposure, contrast, clarity and cropping, to create a consistent look and feel. Non-viable images will be deleted.
RETOUCHING
Retouching indicates changes to specific areas of the image, including but not limited to: adding/removing elements, lightening/darkening or changing colors on specific areas, cutting out from background, compositing and more. Retouching for portraiture includes changes to skin/complexion, removing blemishes, reducing signs of aging, fixing flyaways, simple background cleanup, etc. No changes will be made to body shape. Signs of aging are lightened, but not completely removed.
FAQ
WHEN WILL I GET MY PHOTOS?
Delivery of images varies based on overall workload at the time of your session, in addition to the scope of your project. Proofs are generally provided within 7-15 business days from the date of the session. If no retouching is required, images can be downloaded directly from the gallery. If retouching is included, allow 3-4 weeks from time of image selection for final images, depending on number of images and overall workload at time of selection. Final images are typically delivered all together, rather than one by one.
WHAT IF I NEED MY IMAGES FASTER?
If you have a specific deadline, first ask if we can accommodate the deadline. A rush fee may be assessed in the event that deliverables are needed faster than the standard time.
WHAT IS A MOOD BOARD & IS IT NECESSARY?
A mood board is a collection of images that inspire the session. This could be for things like subject matter, posing, composition, lighting style / mood, or otherwise. Going through this stage is helpful because then I am sure to make images that meet your needs and desires. In the branding sessions, we can do this process together – and a bit of it is included in the branding questionnaire. In lifestyle sessions and studio sessions, the “look” is more left up to my artistic sensibilities, unless you provide a collection for me as a guide.
HOW MANY PRODUCTS CAN WE SHOOT?
The number of products and final images will vary based on lighting and set ups, as well as variations with props and styling. If the lighting stays consistent per product because all products are consistent visually and no styling is done, we can shoot 5-15 per hour (swapping them in and out, with no changes). For more styled images, allow at least 10-15 minutes per styling set up.
WHAT IS A PROOF?
A proof is a photo that has been “digitally processed” (edited) for color, exposure, contrast, clarity and cropping, to create a consistent look and feel with the other images from the grouping. Non-viable images, such as those that are out of focus, the flash didn’t fire, you blinked, etc. are deleted, and are not accessible.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIGITAL PROCESSING/EDITING AND RETOUCHING?
Digital processing/editing includes basic changes that could be made to an image, such as exposure, contrast, white balance, sharpness/clarity and cropping. Retouching is more complex editing that can change the contents of the image, such as smoothing skin, adding/removing elements, cleaning up dust, superimposing images, HDR compositing, general image cleanup, cutting items off a backdrop, etc.
