Every web site seems to have a section called frequently asked questions. It’s often the first place I go when searching. No question is stupid since hiring a headshot photographer in Ottawa is not something most people do that often.
If I have missed a question, contact me right here and I’ll answer it and add it to the list for others. Clicking on the question will take you to a separate page to answer it.
Of course, that depends on how many of you there are. Usually, a group of ten or more people will move quicker than you think. My main concern, when photographing large groups, is that the images look as great as they can be. If I had to give a number I would say 10-20 minutes per person will do.
I accept Visa, MasterCard, email transfer and cash as payment. If you are a company and it is necessary to invoice you that can happen as well. The complete balance is due when the shoot is complete.
As mentioned earlier I shoot tethered. That means that my camera is connected to a computer while we shoot. You will be able to see the images right away. My goal is to have you choose one or two pictures that you love before you leave. That makes processing and delivery much quicker. It also allows me to make suggestions if you can’t make up your mind. Once the choices are made I need one or two days for small groups to process them in your required sizes. If you are a large group we will set up a promised delivery date before getting started. Headshots are delivered very quickly thereafter via an on-line gallery. The whole thing is about working with your schedule and what can be done.
I will be delivering to you finished Headshots in a jpg format. The images will be sized as full resolution, as well as in square format for your social media. Linkedin images are square. Others are rectangular. If your web person requires something special like a PSD, TiF or Png file that can also be accommodated.. I have worked with graphic artists who needed a full-size advertising billboard images. No problem. I just need to know in advance.
I am not the only Headshot photographer in Ottawa. It makes sense to me that you might talk to a few. However, I have made a list of the things I personally would want to know. I hope it helps. I would….
This has never happened but I guess there is always a first time. My reputation in the business community is everything to me. I will make sure you are clear on what you are buying and ensure that you get what you expect. I’ll do my best to make sure I’m clear too! If there is still an issue I’ll do my best to make sure your satisfied.
My marquis background look is white. White is very easy for web designers to use and makes everyone look like a fashion model. I can also do business-grey and portrait-black. We will discuss this in advance. I love portrait black. BUT sometimes it isn’t appropriate for business. The background colour matters when considering what your images ‘say’.
Ah Yeah! Of course. In fact I have been fortunate enough to receive many positive Google Reviews and often people recommend their friends. Read my Google Reviews here.
To me getting to know you is ninety percent of the Headshot session. Updates are a great idea and because of that, I offer a discount to past clients for life! Just ask.
No. BUT… you are licensed to use it however you wish. I will want to showcase it on my website unless you specifically request that I don’t which does happen.
Once we have agreed that you would like me to do your headshot we will arrange a time that works for us both.
Hmm. I am hoping that you are getting a feeling for that by this point. If you aren’t sure we can talk. Did I say this is all I do?
