As each commercial job is very different,
please do
get in touch to discuss your particular
needs so I can quote accurately.
Once the shoot is finished I aim to get
the pictures ready for you within a few
days to a week. If you need them quicker
then let me know. I always do a low resolution
web gallery to show clients the pictures,
I upload this to my company website and
give you a link to it.
You will get a DVD / CD rom with the pictures
on, this contains both a high resolution
and medium resolution folder on it for your
usage, I can also include the low resolution
images from the web gallery if you would
like.
Copyright: Clients have exclusive usage
rights to all pictures taken for one year,
after which this reverts to the photographer.
As with all elements, this can be negotiated
to suit you.

Important issues
Resolution
I generally set the resolution at 300dpi,
at around 5000px (pixels) to 6000px high
or wide for high resolution and around
2500px for medium resolution.
Here is a rough guide to which size to
choose for different uses:
High
resolution - average file size 12-16mb
jpg
High quality print - brochures,
magazines
Anything which the picture is reproduced
larger than a few centimetres in
size
Billboards and exhibition stands
(request the resizing service to
prepare for either of these)
Anything in which the designer wants
to zoom into the picture to grab
details. |
Medium
resolution - average file size 600k
jpg
Press pictures
Images to send to clients / colleagues
for reference
Pics to e-mail to print if the print
size is fairly small (a few centimetres)
Newspaper images - unless printing
full page
Website usage - to send to a designer
(they may request bigger too)
Always let people
know that you have bigger versions
of the images so they have the choice
to request higher res versions. |
Low
resolution - average file size 50k
jpg
Under no circumstances should these
be sent to print as they are intended
to be very low in quality for reference
purposes only. |
Other information:
Extra CDs
If you need extra
CDs to send to others, these are charged
at £8 and can be ordered at any
time - including years after the shoot.
Photo Manipulation
I am trained in
Photoshop to a high level and can alter
your images in many ways - perhaps a prop
such as a cup is the wrong colour in a
pic - it is possible to swap the colour
over convincingly. Let me know if you
need this service.
File Format
I send images to
clients as JPG format - you can choose
to receive TIFF images if you like.
DPI - Dots
per inch (ie quality of print)
I normally process images at 300 DPI
- just let me know if you require a different
amount.
Colour
Profiles
Background: Printing presses use colour
profiles to recognise what colours make
up the images. This colour profile is
attached to each image.
For ease of use, I normally process in
sRGB (which is a basic profile) as this
allows the greatest number of monitors
to view it properly - let me know if you
would prefer Adobe RGB 1998 or other colour
profiles as I am aware it allows the colour
range to broaden. |
