Portrait session on an Amsterdam street

Amsterdam — portrait & couples sessions

Bahor means spring in Uzbek.A season of renewal and quiet beauty.

I want my work to carry the same feeling: a chance to feel inspired and discover a new version of yourself.

Article 7 – Prices and additional costs

  1. The agreed price is stated in the quotation, booking confirmation, booking page or platform confirmation.
  2. For Consumers, prices are stated inclusive of VAT, unless the Photographer is not legally required to charge VAT.
  3. For Business Clients, prices may be stated exclusive of VAT, provided this is clearly indicated.

  3. The remaining amount must be paid at the latest:
    1. before the start of the photo session;
    2. within the payment period stated on the invoice; or
    3. in accordance with the payment terms of the applicable Platform.
  4. The standard payment period is 14 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  5. The Photographer may suspend delivery of the photographs for as long as an amount due has not been paid in full.
  6. A Consumer is in default only after having duly received a free payment reminder and the statutory period stated in it has expired without payment.
  7. Once default has arisen, the Photographer may charge statutory interest and the extrajudicial collection costs permitted by law.
  8. A Business Client is in default upon expiry of the payment period without any further notice of default being required, insofar as the law permits.
  9. Objections to an invoice must be notified within a reasonable period after receipt. An objection does not suspend the payment obligation for the undisputed part.

Article 9 – Cancellation by a Consumer

  1. A Consumer may terminate a contract for services. In doing so the Consumer owes reasonable compensation for:
    1. work already performed;
    2. costs reasonably incurred and not recoverable;
    3. capacity reserved specifically for the Assignment;
    4. demonstrable loss arising directly from the cancellation.
  2. In calculating this, the Photographer takes account of:
    1. costs and work saved as a result of the cancellation;
    2. the possibility of rebooking the freed time slot;
    3. refunds the Photographer receives from third parties;
    4. the moment at which the cancellation was notified.
  3. The cancellation fee is never higher than the agreed total price.
  4. The Photographer provides a reasonable explanation of the calculation on request.
  5. Any cancellation scale in the quotation applies solely as an advance estimate of the expected loss. Mandatory consumer rights and the test of whether the compensation is reasonable continue to apply.
  6. Cancellation is made in writing by email or through the Platform used.
  7. Failure to attend without timely cancellation may result in payment of the full price where the Photographer could no longer reasonably fill the time slot and kept the agreed capacity available.

Article 10 – Cancellation by a Business Client

  1. Unless the quotation provides otherwise, the following is owed on cancellation by a Business Client:
    1. more than 30 days before the Assignment: 25% of the total price;
    2. 15 to 30 days before the Assignment: 50%;
    3. 3 to 14 days before the Assignment: 75%;
    4. less than 72 hours before the Assignment, or no-show: 100%.
  2. External costs already incurred, preparation costs and non-cancellable reservations are additionally charged in full, insofar as they are not already covered by the percentage.
  3. Where the time slot is rebooked on comparable terms, the Photographer deducts the amounts thereby saved or recovered.
  4. Rescheduling to another date may be treated as a cancellation and a new booking where the new date is unavailable or requires material changes to the Assignment.

Article 11 – Rescheduling due to illness, weather or personal circumstances

  1. A request to reschedule is notified in writing as soon as possible.
  2. For portrait and family photography, the Client may reschedule the photo session once free of charge where:
    1. the request is made at least 48 hours in advance; and
    2. the new photo session takes place within three months; and
    3. the Photographer is available on the new date.
  3. External and non-recoverable costs remain payable by the Client.
  4. For a request made within 48 hours, the Photographer may charge preparation, location and capacity costs.
  5. Bad weather is a ground for free rescheduling only where:
    1. the Assignment takes place outdoors;
    2. the conditions make performance unsafe or reasonably pointless; and
    3. the parties cannot use a suitable alternative.
  6. The decision whether weather conditions are photographically or practically workable is taken in reasonable consultation.
  7. Cloud, wind, light rain, temperature or other variable conditions do not automatically give a right to free cancellation.
  8. The Client is advised to take out suitable cancellation insurance where significant travel, event or location costs are incurred.

Article 12 – Cancellation or unavailability on the part of the Photographer

  1. Where the Photographer cannot work because of illness, accident, force majeure or another serious circumstance, the Photographer informs the Client as soon as possible.
  2. The Photographer will, acting reasonably:
    1. offer a new date;
    2. propose a suitable replacement photographer, only with the Client's consent; or
    3. refund the amount paid for the part not performed.
  3. The Client is not obliged to accept a replacement photographer.
  4. Where no suitable replacement or new date is possible, the amount paid for the part not performed is refunded.
  5. The Client's mandatory legal rights continue to apply in full.

Article 13 – Right of withdrawal for distance contracts

  1. Where a Consumer concludes the agreement online, by telephone or off-premises, the Consumer has in principle a statutory cooling-off period of 14 days from conclusion of the service contract.
  2. Within this period the Consumer may withdraw without giving reasons by sending an unambiguous statement or by using the model form at the end of these terms.
  3. Where the Consumer wishes the Photographer to begin during the cooling-off period with:
    1. preparation;
    2. location scouting;
    3. reservations;
    4. the photo session;
    5. selection or editing,
    the Photographer requests an express request to that effect.
  4. On withdrawal after the services have begun at the Consumer's express request, the Consumer pays a proportionate amount for the part already performed.
  5. The right of withdrawal for a service lapses once:
    1. the service has been fully performed;
    2. performance began with the Consumer's express prior consent; and
    3. the Consumer acknowledged that the right of withdrawal lapses upon full performance.
  6. For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal may lapse as soon as delivery or downloading begins, but only where the Consumer:
    1. expressly consented in advance to immediate delivery;
    2. acknowledged that they thereby lose the right of withdrawal; and
    3. received confirmation of this.
  7. This article does not limit any rights the Consumer enjoys under mandatory law.

Declaration of start during the cooling-off period

For a booking carried out within 14 days, the following declaration may be used:

    4. the delivery of the Assignment,

Version: 31 July 2026

Bahor Visuals is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this privacy statement.

Website: bahor.eu

In this privacy statement Bahor Visuals is referred to as “the Photographer”, “we”, “us” or “our”.

2. Who does this privacy statement apply to?

This privacy statement applies to the personal data of, among others:

  1. clients and prospective clients;
  2. persons making an enquiry or booking;
  3. participants in portrait and family photo sessions;
  4. tourists reserving a photo session through a booking platform;
  5. employees and representatives of business clients;
  6. visitors to and participants in events;
  7. models and other Portrayed persons;
  8. website visitors;
  9. suppliers, locations and collaboration partners;
  10. persons who contact us.

3. What personal data do we process?

Depending on your relationship with us, we may process the following data.

3.1 Contact and identification data

  1. first name and surname;
  2. company name;
  3. job title;
  4. address;
  5. email address;
  6. telephone number;
  7. username on a Platform or social medium;
  8. language preference.

We do not in principle ask for a copy of an identity document. Where identification is necessary for a privacy request, we ask only for the minimum information required.

3.2 Booking and contract data

  1. date, time and location of the photo session;
  2. package chosen;
  3. number and names of participants;
  4. wishes, style preferences and scheduling;
  5. quotation, agreement and booking confirmation;
  6. cancellation and amendment data;
  7. correspondence;
  8. booking and reference numbers;
  9. data provided through a booking platform.

3.3 Financial and administrative data

  1. billing address;
  2. invoice data;
  3. VAT number of business clients;
  4. payment status;
  5. transaction reference;
  6. bank account number where necessary for payment or refund;
  7. data necessary for tax and accounting obligations.

We do not in principle receive full payment card details where payment is processed by a bank, payment service provider or Platform.

3.4 Photographs and other visual material

  1. recognisable photographs;
  2. video footage where video has been agreed;
  3. previews and contact sheets;
  4. RAW files and edited files;
  5. technical metadata, such as date, time, camera settings and file information;
  6. location data where stored by the camera and necessary for performance.

Recognisable photographs are personal data. Photographs are not automatically processed as biometric data. They may become biometric data where special technical processing is used to identify someone uniquely. We do not use facial recognition for identification, unless this is explained separately and a valid legal basis exists.

3.5 Special or sensitive information

We do not actively ask for health data, religious beliefs, political opinions, sexual orientation or other special categories of personal data.

Sometimes a client voluntarily provides limited information about, for example:

  1. a disability or mobility need;
  2. pregnancy;
  3. a medical condition relevant to safety;
  4. religious or cultural wishes;
  5. dietary or accessibility needs at an event.

We process such information only where it is necessary, a valid basis exists and the information can be appropriately secured. The information is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed.

3.6 Website and device data

When you visit our website we may process:

  1. IP address;
  2. browser type;
  3. device type;
  4. operating system;
  5. date and time of the visit;
  6. pages visited;
  7. referring website;
  8. error and security logs;
  9. cookie and consent preferences.

Non-essential analytics, advertising and tracking cookies are placed only where legally permitted and, where required, after you have given consent.

4. From whom do we receive personal data?

We receive personal data:

  1. directly from you;
  2. from the person booking on behalf of a family or group;
  3. from an employer, brand or event organiser;
  4. from a booking or payment platform;
  5. from a venue, wedding planner, marketing agency or collaboration partner;
  6. from correspondence and contract documents;
  7. automatically through our website and digital systems;
  8. from public sources, only where necessary and lawful.

Where someone else provides your data to us, we expect that person to be authorised to do so and to have informed you where necessary.

5. For what purposes and on what legal bases do we process data?

5.1 Enquiries and preparation

We process contact details, wishes and correspondence in order to:

  1. answer questions;
  2. check availability;
  3. prepare a quotation;
  4. prepare a photo session.

Legal basis: pre-contractual measures at your request and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in handling enquiries carefully.

5.2 Performance of the agreement

We process data and take photographs in order to:

  1. carry out the photo session;
  2. stay in contact about scheduling;
  3. select and edit photographs;
  4. deliver a gallery or download link;
  5. process payments;
  6. provide customer service and remedies.

Legal basis: performance of the agreement.

5.3 Financial administration

We process invoice, payment and contract data in order to:

  1. send invoices;
  2. administer payments and refunds;
  3. file tax returns;
  4. comply with statutory retention obligations.

Legal basis: legal obligation and performance of the agreement.

5.4 Security and protection of rights

We may process data in order to:

  1. counter fraud and abuse;
  2. secure systems, galleries and accounts;
  3. investigate incidents;
  4. establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
  5. handle complaints and disputes.

Legal basis: legitimate interest, legal obligation, or the establishment, exercise or substantiation of legal claims.

Where we rely on a legitimate interest, we weigh our interest against your rights and reasonable expectations.

5.5 Portfolio, website and social media

We use recognisable portrait, family and lifestyle photographs for a portfolio, website, social media or advertising only where a valid legal basis exists.

For recognisable private portraits we in principle request separate, freely given and specific consent.

Legal basis: consent.

Refusing consent has no negative consequences for the photography service booked.

5.6 Event photography

At events, visual material may be processed for:

  1. recording the event;
  2. communication by the organiser;
  3. reporting;
  4. internal archiving;
  5. agreed promotional purposes.

Depending on the circumstances, the legal basis may be:

  1. performance of an agreement;
  2. legitimate interest;
  3. consent;
  4. another applicable legal basis.

The organiser and the Photographer determine in advance who is the controller. Where we process solely on the organiser's instructions, a data processing agreement may be required.

For use by us in our own portfolio, we assess separately which legal basis is needed.

5.7 Newsletters and direct marketing

We send electronic advertising to private clients only with consent, or where a statutory exception for existing customers applies.

You can unsubscribe at any time, free of charge.

Legal basis: consent or legitimate interest within the limits of applicable marketing law.

5.8 Improving our services

We may use limited data in order to:

  1. improve our scheduling and services;
  2. analyse technical faults;
  3. produce general, non-identifying statistics;
  4. survey customer satisfaction.

Legal basis: legitimate interest.

Where possible we use anonymised or aggregated data.

6. Is providing data obligatory?

Some data are necessary in order to conclude and perform an agreement, such as:

  1. name;
  2. contact details;
  3. booking information;
  4. invoice details;
  5. information about date, location and participants.

Where you do not provide these data, we may be unable to issue a quotation, confirm a booking or carry out a photo session.

Consent for portfolio, social media, advertising or newsletters is not obligatory.

7. Automated decision-making

We do not take decisions with significant legal or similar effects based solely on automated processing.

We may use digital systems for:

  1. scheduling;
  2. invoicing;
  3. email;
  4. galleries;
  5. basic selection or technical image analysis.

Human assessment remains part of the photographic selection and the service.

8. With whom do we share personal data?

We share personal data only where this is necessary, lawful and proportionate.

Possible recipients are:

  1. website and hosting providers;
  2. cloud storage and backup providers;
  3. online gallery and file transfer services;
  4. booking platforms;
  5. payment service providers and banks;
  6. accountant or administration office;
  7. email, calendar and CRM providers;
  8. software suppliers for image editing;
  9. retouchers, assistants and second photographers;
  10. printers and photo album suppliers;
  11. insurers and legal advisers;
  12. government authorities where we are legally obliged to disclose;
  13. an organiser or business Client for whom the images were made.

Service providers receive no more data than necessary.

Where a supplier processes personal data on our behalf, we conclude a data processing agreement where necessary.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not sell client photographs as stock material without separate written arrangements and a valid legal basis.

9. Booking platforms

Where you book through a Platform, the Platform processes personal data under its own privacy policy.

We may receive from the Platform:

  1. name;
  2. contact details;
  3. language;
  4. booking data;
  5. payment status;
  6. messages;
  7. reviews or complaints.

We are not responsible for independent processing by the Platform. Please therefore also consult the privacy statement of the Platform concerned.

We share information back with the Platform only where necessary for performance, payment, customer service, dispute handling or compliance with platform rules.

10. Social media

Where we publish photographs on social media with your consent, the platform concerned processes the images and associated data under its own terms and privacy policy.

Social media platforms may process data outside the European Economic Area and may allow public content to be shared, downloaded or indexed.

You can choose per channel whether you give consent. You do not have to consent to publication on social media in order to receive the photography service.

We do not publish your full name, username or location together with a photograph, unless:

  1. this is necessary for the agreed assignment;
  2. you have given consent for it; or
  3. another valid legal basis exists.

11. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Some digital suppliers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.

We use such a supplier only where a valid transfer basis exists, for example:

  1. an adequacy decision of the European Commission;
  2. approved standard contractual clauses;
  3. other safeguards permitted by law.

Where necessary we assess additional risks and security measures.

You may contact us for more information about the applicable safeguards.

12. Retention periods

We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which they were collected, unless a legal obligation, legal dispute or other valid reason requires a longer retention period.

We apply the following periods in principle:

12.1 Enquiries without a booking

Contact details, enquiries and quotations without a definitive booking: a maximum of 12 months after the last substantive contact.

12.2 Contracts and correspondence

Agreements, booking confirmations and relevant correspondence: a maximum of 2 years after completion of the Assignment, unless they form part of the tax administration or are needed for a dispute.

12.3 Financial administration

Invoices, payment data and other tax-relevant basic data: 7 years, or longer where a specific statutory provision requires it.

12.4 RAW and project files

RAW files, selections, working files and operational backups: in principle 3 months after delivery, unless a longer archiving service has been agreed in writing.

12.5 Delivered online galleries

Online galleries and download links: in principle 3 months after delivery, unless the agreement states another period.

12.6 Portfolio photographs

Photographs included in our portfolio with valid consent: until

  1. consent is withdrawn;
  2. the purpose of use lapses;
  3. we determine during a periodic review that further publication is no longer necessary or appropriate.

We review portfolio content at least once every five years.

12.7 Marketing data

Email addresses for newsletters: until consent is withdrawn or you unsubscribe.

We may retain a minimal email address on a suppression list to prevent someone receiving marketing again after unsubscribing.

12.8 Website and security logs

Technical and security logs: in principle a maximum of 6 months, unless an incident or legal obligation justifies a longer period.

12.9 Disputes

Data necessary for a legal claim: for as long as necessary during the applicable limitation or procedural period.

13. Withdrawing consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal:

  1. is free of charge;
  2. does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal;
  3. applies to future use;
  4. does not affect processing based on another legal basis.

After withdrawal we remove the photograph from our own active online channels within a reasonable period, unless another legal basis justifies further processing.

We cannot always remove copies that were, before withdrawal, by third parties:

  1. shared;
  2. downloaded;
  3. printed;
  4. cached;
  5. included in printed matter already distributed.

We do stop new use and take reasonable measures within our sphere of influence.

14. Children

For processing based on consent:

  1. a person aged 16 or over can in principle give consent themselves;
  2. for a child under 16 we request consent from a parent or legal representative;
  3. where necessary we check whether the person giving consent is authorised to do so;
  4. we also take account of the child's age, development and own wishes.

For publication of recognisable photographs of children we use a separate consent form.

We do not publish a photograph of a child in a sensitive, harmful, humiliating or misleading context.

A parent or legal representative may exercise privacy rights on behalf of a child under 16, insofar as the law permits.

15. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures, including where appropriate:

  1. strong passwords;
  2. two-factor authentication;
  3. encrypted connections;
  4. access restriction;
  5. secure online galleries;
  6. up-to-date software;
  7. backups;
  8. device locking and encrypted storage;
  9. careful selection of suppliers;
  10. arrangements with assistants and retouchers;
  11. deletion in accordance with retention periods;
  12. procedures for security incidents.

No system is entirely risk-free. Where a breach is likely to present a risk to data subjects, we act in accordance with the statutory notification and information obligations.

16. Your privacy rights

Depending on the circumstances, you have the right to:

  1. receive information about the processing;
  2. access your personal data;
  3. have incorrect data corrected;
  4. have data deleted;
  5. have processing restricted;
  6. object to processing based on a legitimate interest;
  7. object to direct marketing;
  8. have your data transferred;
  9. withdraw your consent;
  10. not be subject to certain solely automated decisions;
  11. lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

These rights are not absolute. A deletion request may, for example, be refused where data are necessary for a statutory retention obligation or a legal claim.

17. How can you submit a privacy request?

You can send a request to:

Email: bahor.visuals@gmail.com
Subject: Privacy request

Please state:

  1. your name;
  2. your contact details;
  3. which right your request concerns;
  4. which data or photo session it relates to;
  5. where possible, a booking or invoice number.

We may ask for additional information to establish your identity. In doing so we ask for no more data than necessary.

We respond in principle within one month. For a complex request, or a large number of requests, this period may be extended as permitted by law. We will inform you in good time if so.

18. Objection to direct marketing

You can unsubscribe at any time through:

  1. the unsubscribe link in a marketing message;
  2. an email to bahor.visuals@gmail.com;
  3. a direct message asking not to receive further advertising.

After unsubscribing you will receive no new direct marketing messages, apart from necessary service messages about an existing booking.

19. Complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority

Do you have a complaint about the processing of your personal data? Please contact us first, so that we can investigate the complaint.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch supervisory authority:

Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens

Lodging a complaint does not limit your right to take other legal steps.

20. Cookies

Where our website uses only essential cookies, these are placed to make the website function technically and to secure it.

For non-essential cookies, such as certain:

  1. analytics cookies;
  2. marketing cookies;
  3. advertising cookies;
  4. social media pixels;
  5. tracking technologies,

we request consent in advance where legally required.

In a separate cookie statement or cookie settings we state:

  1. which cookies are used;
  2. by which parties;
  3. for what purpose;
  4. how long they are stored;
  5. how consent can be withdrawn.

21. Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, booking platforms and social media.

We are not responsible for the independent processing of personal data by these parties. Please read the privacy statement of the service concerned before providing personal data.

22. Changes

We may amend this privacy statement where:

  1. our services change;
  2. we use different suppliers;
  3. the law or its interpretation changes;
  4. this is needed for clearer information.

The current version is published on our website with a new version date.

In the event of material changes we inform data subjects where this is reasonably possible or legally required.

Kate, visual artist and photographer at Bahor Visuals in Amsterdam

Hi, I’m Kate, a visual artist from sunny Uzbekistan, now based in Amsterdam.

I speak English, Dutch, Russian and Italian, so wherever you’re from, we’ll probably find a way to connect.

My photography journey started back in 2015, when my dad gave me my first professional camera. I began by photographing friends, and little by little photography became something bigger.

In 2021, I got my Fujifilm camera and started exploring beyond photography, shooting short films for festivals and music videos. Today, I love capturing real moments and genuine emotions, turning them into memories you can keep forever.

Get in touch

Telegram and WhatsApp are quickest — usually the same day. For dates and availability you can also go straight to the booking form.

Frequently asked questions

Everything clients usually ask before booking. If your question is not here, write to me.

01

How do I book a session?

Write to me with the date you have in mind, the city, how many people are coming and the kind of session you want. I will check my availability and suggest a route or a location that fits. A date is only held once the terms have been confirmed and the session has been paid for.

02

What should I wear?

Wear something you are comfortable in and that looks like how you normally dress. Calm colours, simple shapes and clothes without large logos or busy prints photograph best.

For a family session you do not need matching outfits. It is enough that the colours and styles sit well together. After booking you can send me photographs of the outfits you are considering and I will help you decide.

03

Do I need to know how to pose?

No. Most of my clients have never been photographed professionally. During the session I will tell you where to look, how to stand, what to do with your hands and how to move.

We will not spend the time holding still. I will suggest simple things — walk, talk to each other, hold each other, look around. That is what makes the photographs feel natural.

04

Where does the session take place?

Outdoors, in your own home, in a studio, or anywhere else we agree on.

For travel sessions I can suggest routes through Amsterdam, Utrecht and other cities. When choosing a place I consider the time of day, how many of you there are, the light, the weather and what you want.

If a location charges entry, requires a studio or needs a permit, those costs are agreed with you in advance.

05

When is the best time for a session?

Outdoors, the softest light is usually early in the morning or towards sunset.

Morning is especially good in tourist places: there are fewer people on the streets and the well-known spots are calmer. On an overcast day we can photograph at almost any hour.

I will suggest an exact time once we have settled the date, the season and the location.

06

What happens if it rains?

Light rain does not necessarily stop a session. In Amsterdam and other Dutch cities we can use covered streets, archways, cafés, stations and other sheltered places.

If the forecast shows heavy rain, storms, or conditions that make the session unsafe, we can change the route, move the time or choose another date.

The decision is usually made close to the day, when the forecast is more reliable.

07

Can I bring my child?

Of course. Family sessions run at a calm pace, adjusted to the age and character of the child.

There is no need to make a child look at the camera or smile constantly. It is better to give them time to get used to the photographer and the new surroundings. We can walk, play, talk and take small breaks.

For small children I recommend bringing water, a snack, a favourite toy and a change of clothes.

08

What if my child gets upset?

That is normal, and it does not mean the session is ruined. We will pause, turn their attention to something else, walk a little or change what we are doing.

The liveliest family photographs often come not from a child posing perfectly, but from ordinary moments with their parents.

Try not to scold the child or insist on a smile. A calm atmosphere is what gets us back to photographing fastest.

09

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, pets can take part where the location allows it.

Bring a lead, water, treats and a favourite toy. It helps to walk the dog a little beforehand so they are calmer.

Please also tell me in advance about the size and temperament of the animal, so that I can plan a suitable route and format.

10

How many photographs will I receive?

That depends on the package, the length of the session and how many people are taking part.

The exact minimum is stated when you book. I select the best frames myself, discard duplicates, test shots and technically unusable frames, and then edit the final set.

In practice clients usually receive more than the stated minimum, when the session produced enough good frames.

11

How are the photographs edited?

Every selected photograph is professionally edited: correction of colour, light and contrast, cropping and light retouching.

I keep people looking like themselves, and I do not change body shape or facial features without being asked. Extensive retouching, background replacement, removal of large objects or significant changes to appearance may be charged separately.

12

When will I receive my photographs?

For the portrait and couple packages shown on this site, the edited gallery is normally delivered within one week of the session. Large family, commercial or event projects may have a different delivery time agreed in advance.

They are delivered through a private online gallery, from which you can download them at full quality.

Express editing is possible by prior arrangement and may cost extra.

13

Do you provide unedited photographs or RAW files?

No. RAW files are working material, not a finished result.

You receive the selected and edited photographs in my own style. Unsuccessful frames, duplicates, test shots and unedited originals are not handed over.

14

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes, but please tell me as early as you can.

If you get in touch in good time we will try to find a new date. If you cancel shortly before the session, part of the amount may be retained, because that time was reserved specifically for you.

The full rules on rescheduling and cancellation are in the Terms of service.

15

Will my photographs be published?

Only with your separate permission.

Agreeing to a session is not the same as agreeing to publication. Before putting recognisable photographs in my portfolio, on social media or in advertising, I ask you separately.

You may refuse, and it changes nothing about the price, the editing or how many photographs you receive. Photographs of children are published only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.

Still have a question?

Message me on Telegram or WhatsApp — I usually answer the same day.
