FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it is cloudy on the day of the photoshoot?
– We reschedule the shooting for another day. If the weather worsens during the photo shoot, we will assess the situation. Usually, the weather clears up within half an hour; if not, we will reschedule the photo shoot to another day.

Is there a prepayment?
– Yes, we require a 30% advance payment plus tax to book the date. The remaining amount is payable after the photo session, either in cash or via PayPal.

What if I’ve never been photographed? What if my partner doesn’t like to be photographed?
– You shouldn’t worry. We are here to assist during the photo shoot and will guide you to pose in the most flattering ways. Many people, particularly men, may feel uncomfortable with being photographed, but we have extensive experience in making everyone feel at ease.

When will the photos be ready? How can I get them?
– It takes about 10 to 14 days to retouch the photos. You will receive a link to download the archive with the photos.

What equipment do you use?
– Camera: Sony a7r II, Sony a7s III, and drones including Mavic 3 Classic, Mavic 2 Pro, and FPV drones.

Do you offer stylist services?
– Yes, we offer hair and makeup styling services at $180 USD. The styling session takes about 2-3 hours before the photo session.

Can you do shape correction and/or deep retouching?
– Yes, we offer shape correction (optional) and deep retouching. We use Photoshop to enhance the tone and color of the photos, perform light retouching, and correct skin imperfections.

Can I get the original photos (RAW)?

– Edited photos and originals are sent in JPG format. The original RAW photos remain my intellectual property. If you wish to acquire them, this needs to be discussed individually.

What is the cost of a photo session and what does the package include?
- The cost depends on the type of photo session: location, number of participants, and duration. The package includes the photographer's time, travel expenses, permit fees, location rental for the shoot, photo editing, storage for 6 months, and posing consultation during the session.

Are there available dates for the photo session?
- We have several professional photographers on our team and usually find an available date and time. However, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.

Where do you photograph?
- Primarily on private or public beaches. A photo session at a hotel or villa, including its adjoining beach, is possible only with a permit, which often costs several hundred dollars. For specific details, please check with your hotel or villa representatives. Provide us with the name of your hotel, and we can clarify if the meeting point is within walking distance or if a taxi ride to the nearest beach is required.

Do you offer clothing rentals or additional accessories for the photo session or video?
- Yes, we provide a turnkey service so you don’t need to communicate with multiple vendors. We collaborate with companies such as dress rental studios for flying dress photoshoots or decor services for proposals.

Is transportation from the hotel to the shoot location necessary?
- Yes, most sessions are conducted on a beach outside the resort, so transportation is needed. We work with an official transportation company familiar with our routes and have access to most hotels in Punta Cana.

Can a photoshoot be organized on the hotel grounds?
- Yes, it is possible. However, please note that most hotels in Punta Cana require a permit for photography. The permit may involve paying for a day pass for the photographer or a vendor fee. Check with the hotel representatives for the exact cost. We recommend requesting permission in advance, as hotels may take time to respond.

Is it possible to have drone photos/videos?
- Yes, we offer this service. You can view examples of our work and pricing by following this link.

How should I prepare for the photo session?
- Here are a few tips: avoid sunburn before the session by using sunscreen, choose light-colored clothing in pastel tones, and bring sunglasses.

Do you work with children?
- Yes, we have extensive experience with family photoshoots. We know how to attract a child's attention. Photoshoots for infants and young children are conducted only on the private Bounty Beach or at a hotel/villa.

How long does a photo session last?
- Typically, clients choose a 1-hour session. This allows for a relaxed pace, capturing diverse shots in different poses for groups of up to 4 people.

What locations do you recommend for the photoshoot?
- We recommend beaches accessible for shooting without a permit, within walking distance for the client, and with direct access for the photographer. This depends on the location of your hotel, and such beaches are very few. Our most popular choice is the private Bounty Beach. While transportation is required, the location is truly worth it.

Do you provide photo retouching services?
- Light retouching is included in the package price. Body shaping, magazine retouching, and deep retouching are available at an additional cost.

Is it possible to print photos?
- We do not provide photo printing services.
