Frequently Asked Questions
What's it like to work with you?
What kind of edits do you do?
I do full edits and minor edits!
- I'm a natural light photographer; that is, I do not use a flash stand set-up or do special lighting effects. Therefore all shoots will take place before sunset.
- As a cosplayer, I understand that it's hard to know what you look like in-camera! As such, I can help direct your posing if so desired.
What kind of edits do you do?
I do full edits and minor edits!
- A full edit includes a full beauty retouch, color toning, background and costume cleaning, and any special effects like sparkles or glowing bits.
- A simple edit includes a quick beauty retouch and lighting adjustments.
What does a 30-45 minute shoot mean?
I assume all photos will be taken within a span of 30 minutes, but plan up to 45 in case of costume difficulties, waiting for locations, etc. That gives us plenty of time to work!
How does payment work?
Your photoshoot is confirmed once I receive a non-refundable deposit of $20 (usually through PayPal). You can pay the remainder of the photoshoot cost at any time leading up to or at the convention.
All payments must be made prior to the photoshoot! Just in case you forget, I carry a Square card reader that can be used to pay an outstanding balance for a $2 surcharge at the start time of the shoot.
I do not accept cash.
What's your lateness policy?
I will give you 5 minutes of flexibility. After that, every minute you're late, you lose from your time slot! Number of photos returned may be impacted as well.
What is a "web" quality photo?
Web-quality photos are included in the shoot price. These are photos whose long edge measures 1024 pixels. They are processed to look good on screens and include a subtle watermark. Perfect for all your social media needs!
How do print rights work?
Print rights of your favorite photos from the shoot are available for cosplayers who want high-quality, non-watermarked images to sell or distribute in the form of physical prints or digital downloads. Great for Patreon rewards!
You can either pre-pay for print rights for all photos at the time of booking ($20) or pay per photo after all images are returned to you.
Print rights for one photo include:
