PHOTO SESSION CONDITIONS

Please read through thoroughly.

MY SERVICES
Before the photo session:

  • Consulting about the kind of the suitable service

  • Consultation and discussion of the goal for the "Business photo session" service

  • Help with the creation of you looks (consulting about the choice of the clothes, accessories) in all offered services except for events.


During the shooting:

  • Taking pictures

  • Taking care of the light (natural / artificial) and studio equipment

  • Help and guidance with the posing


After the shooting:

  • Choosing of previews, post-processing and delivery of final images


Not included:

  • Services of a visagist / hairdresser / stylist (can be booked separately)

  • Costs of location renting

  • Travel tickets outside the city of Zurich

  • Further special agreements


DURATION OF THE PHOTO SESSION
The aim of every photo session is the agreed amount of images and out of my experience I reserve enough time for every service. The maximal duration (the time I reserve for a photo session) is declared in the descriptions of the services.


DELIVERY OF THE PHOTOS
I deliver high-resolution JPGs. I do not hand out the unprocessed images and originals (RAW).
The photos will be uploaded securely and password-protected to the platform Smugmug, from where they can be downloaded with the button "Download all"on right side of the main picture. Delivery of paper prints can be agreed separately in advance and will be charged separately. 
The originals will be deleted after the delivery of the photos.

 


DELIVERY MODALITIES

Because it is important for me, that you can enjoy your photos very soon after the shooting, I deliver them fast. As a rule you will receive the previews within 48h after the shooting.
You agree to make and send me your final choice of the images within 7 calendar days after the receiving of the previews. I will deliver the final photos within 5 calendar days after the receipt of the chosen previews. In case you do not make your choice in time, I will make my own decision and send the final photos according to my choice.

Exception: event photography. I make the final choice of the photos and deliver them without sending the previews. The delivery term is appointed separately.
 


POST-PROCESSING / RETOUCHE
Post-processing is an important part of the process and usually takes at least twice as long as the photo session itself. I aspire to let people look as natural as possible in their photos. I adjust the light and the colours, if needed I remove skin blemishes and distracting objects in the environment. I do not modify body shapes or facial features.

If you choose me as your photographer, you agree with my color correction and post-processing (please make yourself acquainted with them on my website www.yogaphoto.ch or on Instagram www.instagram.com/yogaphoto.ch). Please consider, that in your usage no further processing and no filters are allowed. I can only tolerate small corrections of lightness/contrast/sharpness and light cropping. I use artistic means of expression (grain, blur, light etc.) at my own discretion. These cannot be appealed as defects.


I do not take any responsibility for your outside appearance / looks at the photo session (no subsequent digital changes in makeup, clothes, hair style, manicure, pedicure or other parts of your outer appearance will be made).


USE OF THE IMAGES
If not agreed differently, following conditions apply.


You can use the photos for your personal purposes and your own advertisement.
The service "Personal photo session" cannot be used for your business advertisement.

The pictures cannot be further processed for your use (see chapter post-processing / retouch).

In case of my late arrival of more than 30min the respective part of the payment will be deducted. However if you wish and I have time ressources, we can agree to prolongate the session by the according length of time. 

The agreed date and time of the photo session can be postponed once (latest 24h forehand) by both parties. The new date has to lie within 30 days after the first date. If this condition cannot be fulfilled, I reserve my right to cancel the photo session without replacement.
