Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Prices vary depending on what is required. There are several factors that come into play when preparing a quote, for example-
How many hours is the photographer required for?
What services are required?
Do we need to bring additional equipment?
How quickly do you need the images?
Where is the event/ how long will it take to get there?
How much editing will be required after the event?
What if......
First and foremost, we are fully insured with public and employers liability. We have a lot of experience photographing events over the years, so if there is a problem, we work closely with you our client, the staff and management at the location, to adapt and come up with a solution.
We are familiar with all the major event venues in Dublin, the CCD, the RDS, the Mansion House, Dublin Castle, the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, Teelings Distillery, Christchurch Cathedral, the Intercontinental Hotel, the Radisson Blu, the Clayton, Burlington Road Hotel, the Shelbourne Hotel, the Conrad Hotel and many more. We know the layout of the venues and the good places for photographs and more importantly, the ones to avoid.
If for any reason the photographer assigned to you event cannot attend your event, through accident or illness, we will send another in their stead. Don't worry, we have got you.
How quickly will I get the images?
Generally we aim to get the images processed and delivered within 24 to 48 hours. But that will depend on the size of the event, how many days it runs for, the number of images we need to work on and the level of editing required.
We offer an optional service of onsite select image delivery, where we can download and transfer images directly off the camera to the client for LinkedIn and social media use.
All images are taken in RAW format and delivered as jpegs, unless another format is requested.
What if the lighting is 'Tricky'?
We use professional cameras and lenses for all our events. We are well used to low level lighting. There is nothing worse than paying a lot of money to a lighting company to design your event, only to have an inexperienced photographer come along and wipe it out with poor flash control.
We must add, that there will be conditions in which it might be next to impossible to get the results you want.
How do we get the images?
We deliver the images on a secure password protected web gallery with high resolution download enabled. If you prefer we can send the images via WeTransfer, Google Drive or similar service.
Sometimes we will have to work with your IT department as security restrictions can block all methods of digital delivery.
Who owns the copyright?
We operate under the understanding that the photographer owns the copyright to all images they take and the client has free licence to use those images for any/all purposes, as long as they do not make financial gain from the resale of any of the images. If you wish to own the copyright, then we can arrange that for you for an additional fee.
Can we give you a shot list?
Please do. We love a shot list and a running order. That way we know where we are meant to be and what is happening.
We have photographed a lot of different types of events over the years and they are usually run in a particular way. We pride ourselves in the fact that, we know what we are doing, and you, the client does not have to hold our hand or keep telling us what to do.
