FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I prepare for a photo session?

Get enough sleep and, above all, be in a good mood.

What does not look flattering in photos is greasy hair, clothing that is far too tight, shoes and clothing with visible signs of wear and tear, but also tiredness and a bad mood.

It's worth bringing something extra to change into (top, hoodie, baseball cup, hat, etc.).

I would appreciate it if you could refrain from wearing perfume when you come to the photo shoot. I understand that fragrances can be an important accessory for some people. I simply want everyone to feel comfortable during the photo shoot.

How long does a photo session last?

A photo session typically lasts approximately 1–2 hours.

Everything depends on the individual expectations of the person being photographed, the number of people photographed, the duration of the photo session, and other factors (studio or outdoor shots, etc.). I prefer to discuss the details in person.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

How many photos will I receive, and how, and when?

That depends on the length of the photo session. A typical session lasts about 2 hours, and I can guarantee at least 5 photos. So far, It’s always been more :)

The waiting time is approximately 2–3 weeks. You will receive the images in web resolution, and I will send them to you electronically (e.g., via email).

Can I bring company?

Bringing an accompanying person is not a problem, as long as they don’t disturb the session and I am informed in advance that an additional person is coming.

What if someone is not photogenic?

Many people think this way. Being photogenic isn't a trait, but rather the result of the right lighting, framing, a relaxed atmosphere, and the photographer's experience. I care about you being comfortable and natural, ensuring that the photos look authentic and flattering.

Photos from a photographer vs. selfie.

Selfies are taken very close up with a wide-angle lens, which changes the proportions of the face. Professional photos show a more natural look—the way others see you every day. I make sure that the person I photograph looks flattering, but authentic.

Studio or location?

It all depends on the theme of the photos and the weather.

The studio is best suited for portrait photography — individuals or couples. Outdoor locations are more suitable for larger groups, but also provide a variety of natural backgrounds, provided the weather is appropriate for the theme of the session.

Why is wedding photography so expensive?

The price protects the results.

The wedding photographer has to consider and calculate many things.

Covering a wedding can last up to 12 hours, and it's physically demanding work, like running a marathon. Almost everything is live – no “stop, let's try again.” A good wedding photographer has quick reflexes to ensure they don't miss any important moments.

Then comes the second part: pre-processing. The photos are sorted, edited, and optimised. This process takes approximately twice as long as the actual wedding.

Then there are the costs for wear and tear on the photographic equipment. Professional cameras, lenses, batteries, and memory cards – all of that costs thousands of euros.

Don’t forget—the compensation for the photographer’s experience and skills.

When you factor all that in, the hourly wage isn't actually that high.

Wedding photography isn’t for everyone. While some see it as a way to make money, others do it with passion.

Some people invest a lot in their wedding but want to save money on the photographer, but not consider how valuable the photos are.

“The cake will be eaten, the music will stop, the flowers will wilt, the wedding dress will be put away – but the photographs remain forever.”
