How It Works

After the shoot

Once the shoot wraps, post-production begins. Turnaround depends on the type of shoot.

Model digitals: These can often be turned around the same day, with base color and exposure correction, which are the only edits made to digitals.

Events: The same base-level edits are available within one day if you need them. Events and other large projects often have many photos to edit, and the amount of retouching depends on the level of post-production you choose. I'll give you a better estimate once I know the scope. Generally, it's about 2 to 3 weeks. I don't usually shoot events tethered because I'm moving around a lot, but if you'd like to see images while I'm on location, just ask. I always have a computer with me and can upload them for you.

Portrait, headshot, and fashion shoots: I shoot tethered, so you see the images as I shoot and before the editing stage begins. On larger fashion line shoots, that goes for the person in charge.

Product, brand, and commercial shoots: These often have nothing to do with models. If I'm shooting in my studio, you'll see the images once they're complete. If I'm shooting at your location, you can see them as I go. The retouching depends on what you need: a clean, e-commerce style edit moves quickly, while a flawless, highly refined retouch takes a little longer. I'll give you an estimate once I know the scope.

Post-production tiers

Tier 1: Base. Color correction, white balance, exposure, crop and straighten.

Tier 2. Everything in Base, plus blemish removal, skin tone evening, and studio background cleanup if you'd like it.

Tier 3. Everything in Tier 1 and Tier 2, plus any other edits an image may need. I'll let you know if Tier 3 is necessary. Most of the time, it isn't.
