Frequently Asked Questions:
1) What do I get for the photoshoot?
- $200 for single, couple or a family. You will also obtain DVD with all images in high resolution for your personal use.
2) What sort of photos will be taken during the photoshoot?
We shoot business, fashion, lifestyle, glamour, sports…. very wide range. You are welcome to come up with your own ideas prior the photoshoot. We will disscuss with you what we will shoot since you need to provide your own wardrobe.
3) Where will my photos be used?
Photos sold under a Royalty Free licence are used in digital and print media such as magazines, newspapers, leaflets, brochures, websites and books. Photo Stock Agencies we work with have strict terms and conditions for buyers. Here is an important extract from one of the agencies terms of service for buyers: ” You may NOT use an Image in a way that places any person in the photo in a bad light or depicts them in a way that they may find offensive ”
4) Will I know in advance where the photos will be published?
Stock agencies unfortunately don’t provide notifications on where and when royalty free images will be published. You simply need to keep your eyes open for your images. If we will see any of our photos in usage we will surely let you know as soon as possible. If you do see your images in usage first, it is good idea to let us know as we can check if the right license was applied to the particular image being used.
5) Do I need to sign anything?
Yes. You are required to sign a model release form. A model release is a document which enables us to sell the photos under a royalty free licence. Here you can read an important extract from the model release: “By signing this release I hereby give the Photographer and Assigns my permission to license the Images and to use the Images in any Media for any purpose which may include, among others, advertising, promotion, marketing and packaging for any product or service.”
6) Can I get references from previous models?
Of course you can, we worked with 56 models without a problem. Once you work with us, we will place you in our database. There is a big chance of getting more work from us and our clients in the future.
7) Do you provide a make up artist and a hair stylist?
Normally our models do their hair and makeup themselves. Exceptionally we do provide makeup/hair stylist.
8) Where can I see my images online?
The best place to see entire collection is at Shutterstock… here is the link: http://www.shutterstock.com/g/zdenkadarula
Looking For Local Business Photo Locations:
I’m always looking for interesting and new locations to shoot in. Currently, I’m looking for businesses in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering area that might be interested in allowing me to come in to their environment and shoot some photos. Session will likely be between 1-2 hours and the owner will get $100 rental fee, or a set of images they can use to promote the business.
At the moment, I am mainly looking for a cool, modern loft office space, furnished, that I can rent for a few hours for a business related session. I also need fitness studio/ yoga studio.
If interested, respond via email [email protected] with your information, and a few shots of the workplace.
