Ask for a deposit amount and final payment due date. Most professionals require 50% upfront to secure the date. The balance is usually due after image delivery. Check if the price includes travel fees or additional hours. Hidden costs often appear after the session. Clear payment terms prevent disputes and ensure you only pay for the exact services rendered and agreed upon.
Clarify who owns the copyright to the images. Usually, the photographer retains copyright while granting you personal use rights. If you need commercial usage, ask for a separate license. This costs more but allows you to use images for advertising or business purposes. Define the scope of usage in writing. This prevents legal issues and ensures you have the right to publish the images where you want.
Standard web images are 72 DPI, while print requires 300 DPI. Confirm the maximum pixel dimensions they deliver. Ask if they downsample automatically. If you plan large prints, verify the resolution matches your frame size to avoid blurry output.
Ask how you receive final files. Cloud storage links often expire after 14 days. USB drives can be lost in the mail. Download everything immediately to your local drive and verify file integrity before closing the browser window.
Screens display colors differently than printed materials. Request sRGB files for web use and CMYK for printing. If they only provide sRGB, your print shop may need to convert them, which can shift hues. Confirm the profile matches your final usage.
Decide on a visual theme before contacting a photographer. Show them 3 to 5 examples of images you love. Specify if you want bright, airy, or moody tones. This prevents a mismatch between your expectations and the final gallery. Clear direction saves editing time and reduces the risk of requesting costly re-shoots later.
Ask exactly how long post-production takes. Standard delivery is 2 to 4 weeks for edited high-resolution files. Rush services cost more but shorten this window to 48 to 72 hours. Confirm if you receive raw files or only treated images. Knowing the timeline helps you plan when you need the images for printing or digital use.
Ask for high-resolution files in TIFF or JPEG format. Web-optimized files are too small for printing. Standard print quality requires at least 300 dots per inch. Check if the provider downsamples images without permission. You need full-resolution files to control printing quality yourself. This ensures your images look sharp on any surface, from paper to digital screens.
Evaluate how the photographer directs subjects during the test shoot. Good photographers give clear, concise instructions. They know how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Poor communication leads to stiff poses and unnatural expressions. Ask how they handle difficult subjects. A patient, clear communicator prevents awkward moments and produces more authentic, engaging photos.
Most photographers delete raw files after 30 days to save storage space. Ask if they keep them for 90 days or longer. If you need re-edits later, raw files are essential. Confirm the exact retention period in writing before booking the session.
