BOOKING & PAYMENT

A booking fee equal to 25% of the agreed total is required to secure a booking, subject to the applicable booking terms. The remaining balance is payable in accordance with the agreed payment schedule.

A booking is confirmed once the required payment has been received and the applicable booking requirements have been satisfied.

Before work commences, the Client will receive the relevant quotation, Photography Services Agreement, Booking Confirmation and applicable Usage Licence Schedule.

USAGE & LICENSING

Photography fees and image usage rights are distinct considerations. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, licensing is non-exclusive and does not transfer copyright ownership.

Permitted uses, media, territory, duration, exclusivity and any additional licensing fees are negotiated according to the requirements of each assignment.

PRODUCTION COSTS & CREW

Unless otherwise specified in the quotation, all starting rates cover the Photographer's services only and do not include additional production crew or third-party services.

This may include, but is not limited to, photography assistants, digital technicians, runners, producers, art directors, stylists, hair and makeup artists, models and other specialist personnel.

Equipment hire, studio or location hire, props, travel, accommodation, permits, catering and other production-related expenses are also excluded unless expressly included in the agreed quotation.

Where additional crew, equipment or production services are required, these will be discussed, quoted separately and approved by the Client before the booking is confirmed or the relevant expenses are incurred.

ENQUIRIES

For a tailored quotation, please provide a brief overview of the project, intended image usage, estimated deliverables, preferred timeframe and available budget.

Each assignment is assessed individually to establish the most appropriate scope, production approach and licensing arrangement.

All rates are starting estimates and are subject to a project-specific quotation and written agreement.
