How to book a photoshoot

Conditions, cost, terms and contacts
What and how do I shoot
I like to observe and notice the harmony, the beauty in people and the world around me, to make it clear to the world through photography.

My style is calm, minimalistic, where people are the center of photography, remain themselves and at the same time open up from a new perspective. I usually take pictures in large bright studios with natural light, where it is possible to create an atmosphere that is comfortable for the client and get a high-quality picture thanks to professional equipment.

For shoots that require more creativity, I can choose a location in nature, in a beautiful house or an abandoned pool, for example :)

I work in the genres of portrait photography and still life.

My clients are:
Ordinary people who want beautiful portraits or shooting themselves/family in a studio
Actors, musicians
People who need a business portrait
Brands and e-commerce

What tasks are most often addressed to me:

Portrait and studio shooting
Business portraits
Objects photography and still life
Shooting jewelry
Lookbooks
E-commerce

If you want to book a shoot and you have no experience in posing or just don't know what to do, it's not a problem.
So even more interesting for you)


Important, if you want a shoot, but for various reasons you currently don't have the financial ability for full payment, I have windows for such cases or for barter, if you're a food company :)

The cost of shooting and retouching is agreed upon individually.
Usually, the cost of a photoshoot consists of the following components:

  1. Payment to the photographer
  2. Payment for the studio and additional equipment/assistant photographer if a lot of heavy lighting is needed
  3. Cost of props
  4. Payment for the model, makeup artist, stylist
  5. Retouching, depends on the complexity of retouching and the number of photos.
If you send me a brief with details and preferences for the shoot, it will be easier for me.
However, typically, the cost for my work for e-commerce clients has ranged from 200 to 1500 euros.

2. Payment for studio rent.
The studio is paid by the hour.
Usually, 2 hours cost EUR 50 / PLN 150-200

Where are the shootings, how much time to plan.
I choose spacious, bright rooms with a minimum of decor. Usually, shooting takes 1-2-3 hours (depending on the task and the number of people) during daylight hours from 11 am to 4 pm.
In Krakow, I shoot mainly at the Lithouse studio.

Studios are rented by the hour and booked online.

Readiness of photos, selection for retouching
After the shooting, we together review the photos on the computer and select the frames we like for retouching.
Or, I make a preliminary selection and send a link for the final selection and you just send the photo numbers.
After agreeing on the shots, I retouch them within 2-3 weeks, depending on my load and send you a download link.
Retouching and color correction I do myself in a minimalist style.
Usually, I try to remove only what will not happen tomorrow (pimples, bruises, etc.) and what the light has affected (for example, too strong a shadow from the nose ...) based on my feelings and understanding of what is best to do.

Possible questions:
Prepayment and payment for shooting
1. Studio prepayment
After agreeing on the date, time of the shooting, and studio, the client pays the cost of the rent.
In case of cancellation or rescheduling at the request of the client, the procedure for returns is determined by the studio's regulations.


2. Shooting prepayment
To book a date, you must make an advance payment of 20% of the cost of shooting. Cancellations less than 48 hours in advance will not be refunded. It is possible to transfer the shooting, but not more than once.

3. Payment of the rest
Occurs on the day of the shoot.
