Booking, creative direction, delivery and usage.
The practical details, all in one place.
Booking & scope
Choosing the right service and shaping the brief.
Which service should I book?
Choose the service around what the images need to do:
- CampaignsFashion, editorial and brand imagery with a clear creative direction.
- EcommerceConsistent on-model photography for collections and lookbooks.
- EventsAtmosphere, people and moments from corporate events, launches and live culture.
- RetouchingFinishing for fashion, ecommerce and campaign images, including existing photographs.
If your project crosses categories, tell me what you have in mind and I’ll help shape the scope.
What should I include when I reach out?
Share the project type, preferred date, location, approximate budget, number of final images, visual references, intended usage and any deadline.
You don’t need a finished brief. A rough idea is enough to start the conversation.
How is a project priced?
Each project is quoted around its scope: the photography or retouching required, time, final image count, production needs and intended usage.
Send me a short brief with your budget and priorities. I’ll put together a quote for the work you actually need, with the scope and costs confirmed before booking.
Are studio, models, styling, and production expenses included?
They are separate when the project needs them. Studio rental, assistants, talent, makeup, styling, props, travel and special equipment are approved with you before anything is booked and shown clearly in the project quote.
Do you shoot in studio or on location?
Both are possible. Studio work offers control, consistency and precise lighting. Locations bring atmosphere, movement and context. The choice follows the visual direction and practical needs of the project.
Shoot & delivery
Creative direction, final images and the finishing process.
Do you help with creative direction?
Yes. Direction can include mood, lighting, composition, pacing, styling notes, location choices, movement and how the final set should feel together. We shape the approach around the brief so the images have a clear point of view.
Can ecommerce and campaign images be made in one shoot?
Yes. A combined shoot can create consistent on-model ecommerce images alongside a more expressive campaign set. We plan the shot list, lighting, styling and time blocks so both parts get the attention they need and feel connected.
How long does delivery take?
Timing depends on the image count, production size, retouching level and delivery formats. A focused set may move quickly; a larger campaign, ecommerce or event delivery can need more time.
Include any launch date or deadline when you reach out so we can plan the schedule together. Rush delivery can be discussed before booking.
How many final images will I receive?
The final image count follows the agreed project scope. A focused session may call for a smaller set, while a campaign, collection or event may need a larger delivery.
The count and selection process are confirmed before the shoot. Final edited files are delivered in the agreed formats.
Is retouching included?
Basic editing and image polish are included in most photography projects. The level of finishing is confirmed in the project scope.
Advanced skin work, garment cleanup, background refinement, composites or high-volume retouching can be added when a more involved finish is needed.
Can you retouch images I already have?
Yes. Retouching is available as a standalone service for photographers, brands and creative teams. The quote depends on the image count, file quality, complexity and final finish.
Get in touch and share a few representative files so I can review what the work needs.
Payment & usage
Payment timing, commercial use and what is delivered.
When is payment due?
Unless a different written schedule is agreed, the remaining balance is due within 48 hours after the shoot ends. Final high-resolution delivery may be held until the balance is paid in full.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes, with usage matched to the project. A one-year, non-exclusive license for the client’s website, organic social and agreed digital channels is included unless the written agreement says otherwise.
Paid media, print, retail, broadcast, extended terms or a copyright transfer are quoted separately. Share where the images will be used so the agreement reflects what you need.
Do I receive the RAW files or copyright?
Final edited files are delivered in the agreed formats. RAW files are not part of standard delivery.
Copyright remains with Marc Nefaa unless a separate written transfer is agreed. The project license explains how the client can use the images and for how long.
