Asked on every first call.
How far ahead do we need to book?
Campaigns book three to five months out; catalogue stills usually fit within two weeks. If your date is tight, ask anyway — cancellations move and we keep a short standby list.
Who owns the files?
You license the finals; we keep the archive. Two years of web and social use are included in every shoot day, and we quote wider licensing per use, plainly, before the shoot.
Can you travel to us?
Constantly. Roughly half our frames are shot on location. Travel days are billed at half rate, and we carry kit insurance worldwide.
Do you shoot film?
Yes — Contax 645 and Pentax 67 with an in-house lab for black and white. Film runs alongside digital on most editorials and campaigns at no extra day cost; stock and processing are passed through.
What if we only need retouching?
Happily. About a fifth of our hours are outside frames — e-commerce batches, print calibration, rescue jobs. Send ten sample frames and we will scope it in a day.
