How I Work
I've put together this short guide to help you understand the process of working with me. For emerging brands it can be frustrating to be greeted with a wall of images and not really know where to go from there - so let me tell you!
1
Discovery Call
So you like my work (yay) and you've sent me a message or email to enquire. This is the stage I suggest booking in what's called a discovery call. In this call I'll ask a bit about yourself, what stage your brand is at, where you want it to go and how I can be part of making that happen. We'll look at references and discuss style and direction.
2
A Clear Proposal
After our call, using the information you've given me I'll put together and email you a proposal. This will summarise the concept, deliverables needed and estimated cost for the shoot. Once approved, this will then develop into a more detailed brief of which we will collaborate on before the shoot.

Shoot Day
It's shoot day, woo! We've finalised the brief, ordered any backdrops or props we need and we're ready to go. I typically shoot in my studio in Bristol but can also travel UK-wide for the right shoots. You're welcome to join me in person for the shoot, otherwise I can run the shoot remotely - giving you image by image updates on WhatsApp.

Content Delivered
So the shoot is done, we've got the money shots in the bag. It's time for the post-production. I'll edit the images within our agreed timeframe and send them over to you in full resolution and optimised for web. You'd then be responsible to download the files and keep them safe!

An Ongoing Relationship
You're happy with your deliverables, we've had a blast shooting together and the excitement is kicking in to show our work to the world. I now know your brand inside out, and you have less to worry about down the line because you can trust me to deliver - this is the beginning of a wonderful partnership!
