Selecting Proofs
>>> This should be done on a computer <<<
Zipped Folder
Email me a zipped folder containing all selections (actual proof files). Note: This is preferred. It’s easier for me and less room for error on your end.
OR
Typed List
Selections typed in list format (no bullets, dash’s etc.) - Please refrain from spreadsheets if possible. Double check filenames.
Number of Photos: Please reference your contract or email thread for deliverables. Reach out if you are unable to locate the deliverables included in your package.
I do not accept screenshots or photos with altered file names.
It is imperative that filenames are unaltered - Filenames are copy/pasted into selection software.
Editing
My editing style is thorough, but tasteful. Most default edits are done with a 25-75% opacity to maintain a natural appearance. It is important that you still look like yourself, but with a kick of confidence.
The following covers the most common items and features I will work on, if warranted. Not every portrait requires all of these, and some portraits require others not listed:
Universal Changes
• Color corrections
• Consistency between photos
• Exposure (brightness)
• Contrast
Skin Retouching
• Skin smoothing
• Blemishes
• Wrinkles
• Skin shine
Subject Changes
• Bulging arms
• Eyeglass glare
• Teeth whitening
• Distracting flyaways
Local Adjustments
• Bright/dark spots
• Balance subject & background
• Remove distractions
Note: I will sometimes thin faces, bodies, and/or arms if the pose angle was not optimal.
If you do not want thinning done, please indicate.
Notes
Purchasing Additional Photos
Additional photos, beyond what your package includes, can be purchased for the following:
Personal Use - $50/photo
Not used or purchased by your company. Invoice sent directly to individual. Personal use only (social media, LinkedIn, etc).
Company/Organizational Use - $100/photo
Purchased by an employer, with the intention of using in any way related to the company’s business. Invoice sent to company contact.
Editing Requests
Editing requests often slow the turnaround time. If you have special edits not listed above, please keep your list short and to the point (no side thoughts, “pleases”, “thanks yous”, justifying your requests, etc.). Do not request any of the default edits above.
Alternatively, you can let me make all editing decisions initially, then request specific changes after you receive the edits.
Publicly Displaying Proofs
DO NOT post or show proofs anywhere. Public display of proofs is a breach of contract. Don’t do it.
In person for a second opinion is ok.
Turnaround
Typically 1-4 weeks. A single person or small group is significantly faster than a group of 30, 40, or 50 people.
If you have a few where timing is crucial, please let me know so I can prioritize.
