Standard Photo Shoot Terms
Harbour View Photography undertakes to deliver the completed Services to the satisfaction of the Client by the agreed date at time of booking. The Client shall pay the agreed amount upon receipt of the completed Services as total compensation for the Service(s).
Provision of Services
Harbour View Photography will supply a range of services to the Client. Harbour View Photography may utilise service partners where appropriate to ensure a quality and competitive range of services are provided.
Scheduling and Contact Information
Requests for a Service should be submitted via our on-line booking portal or via email. We will reply back within 24 hours to verify the date, time and location of the shoot. Typically shoots can be accommodated within 5 working days however this is subject to workload and cannot be guaranteed.
Once both parties have acknowledged the date and time of the appointment, the appointment will be considered “booked”.
Note that depending upon the Service(s) booked, more than one person will need to visit the property. Timings will try to be coordinated to minimise disruption but cannot be guaranteed.
At the Shoot - Photography & Video Services
The Client is responsible for the presence of an authorised representative at the shoot to approve the Photographer’s interpretation of the project. If a Client representative is not present, the Photographer’s interpretation shall be deemed acceptable. The Photographer will make a reasonable effort to tweak rooms; however please note that this does not include things like making beds or significant rearrangement of furniture. The Client is expected to ensure that the property is ready to shoot at the agreed time prior to the photo shoot. All properties will be shot “As Is.” Your input is important when choosing the best rooms and angles to photograph and video. Absent your input, the Photographer will use his/her best judgement and experience to decide how best to photograph/video the property.
The Client has no right to reject photography or videos on the basis of style, composition, angle of shooting or colour rendition.
After the Shoot
Once the photos and/or video have been taken, Harbour View Photography will perform digital retouching and deliver to you. Delivery is via a secure on-line gallery to the email address(es) supplied. Images will be supplied in 2048 X 1365 pixel resolution (3X2 aspect ratio). Different resolutions and aspect ratios can be provided and should be stated at time of booking.
For videos, the price allows for up to two minor edits. Further or major edits will be quoted.
Please see the Payment section for details on when photos and video can be used.
Cancellation, No-Show and Inclement Weather Policy
If cancellation or rescheduling is necessary, please do so with a minimum of 48 hours notice. Any shoot cancelled within 48 hours of a booked appointment is subject to a £80 Cancellation Fee. Arriving late beyond 30 minutes to an appointment will be considered a cancellation, and will be billed at the full rate of the shoot. Every effort will be made to accommodate a re-scheduling.
In the event of inclement weather preventing photography, a new date will be scheduled at the earliest available time. The decision to reschedule a shoot due to adverse weather should be made 48 hours prior to the agreed shoot date.
Rights and Usage
