What types of photoshoots do you do?

I love genuine emotions and I love to help people to save their memories, wether alone, with a family, a friend or a loved one.

Why film?

To me, film has this outstanding ability to show things in a pure, natural way that doesn’t need post processing. The skin tones that color film shows are exactly what you see in person from your own eyes (only softer and way more flattering). Film also has grain that is visible to our eye, and to me it makes photos look a bit retro.

How to book a photoshoot?

Just hit the “contact me” button and write which type of shoot are you ready to book. We will discuss possible dates and places. I will help you to find the appropriate outfits.

If you shoot film, what will I be getting in the end?

With the help of a professional lab, film is digitally scanned and the scans downloaded. 

You will receive digital images (scans) you can then post, share and spread around the world in any way you like.

What if something goes wrong with the film?

Let’s be honest, cameras are quite old and additionally, the third party (a film lab) handles film development and scanning for me. Very rarely, but accidents might happen that are beyond my control.

In any case, I always make sure to take care of you as a client and there is a special clause in the contract with the option to reshoot. 

DoI need to pay a deposit to book a photoshoot?

Yes. To secure the date, I would ask for a deposit, which I will use to buy film rolls specifically for our session. The rest of the payment is due the day of the actual shoot.

Can I cancel the photoshoot or move it to a different date?

Every situation is different, and I am very understanding if there is a unique situation. The terms of cancellation and rescheduling are addressed in the contract signed after the deposit is payed.

How long does a film photoshoot last?

I don’t usually put a specific time limit to my sessions. We all need different times to start feeling comfortable in front of a camera. For a basic portrait session it is no more than 1.5 hours. This is time necessary to get the appropriate results. Note, that if you are late and/or in a hurry, I cannot guarantee the results to be acceptable.

How long do I need to wait for the film photos to be ready?

I try to deliver the photos as fast as I can, but remember that I need to go to the actual film lab where the film get developed and scanned, which might delay the process.

What if I want the photos faster?

No worries! That is possible too! Contact me directly and, for an extra fee, your photos will be delivered within 2 business days.

Do you edit film photos?

After the photos come from the lab I do some light color-correction and minimal retouching if necessary. I do not do any major post processing: all my photos are true to life and beautiful as they are.

Can you make my legs longer, my nose smaller, my lips bigger?

I believe every person is beautiful the way they are. So I will not alter your body in any way. If you feel uncomfortable about some part of your body, it’s absolutely normal and we can discuss it before the shoot. It is possible to make things better by choosing the right fabric, clothes, angle. Just tell me in advance and I will make my best to show how beautiful you are without any post modifications.

How many outfits can I change?

It depends from session to session (love story vs portrait). Usually 1-2 outfits is a good amount. I always ask to bring some accessories to include in the shoot (a book, eye wear, statement jewelry, bags, jackets, belts etc) to make photos more varied. 

What camera do I use?

I am a Canon fan. So, both of my film cameras are Canon: Canon EOS 3 and Canon Elan II.

What are negatives? Do I get these?

Negatives are the hard copies of the photos. I don’t give these away.

Are you willing to travel?

Totally! Just send me a message!
