General FAQs

 
    • Images showcased on my official photography accounts will not bear any watermarks, including high-resolution images sent to clients (paid and non-paid) and when used in other circumstances.

    • Images showcased on proofing gallery, uploaded to certain social media (i.e. Discord, Facebook Groups) or sent as samples to potential clients or collaborators will always bear a watermark.

    • RAW Files are uncompressed photographic files that capture more data to allow a photographer to edit the image more easily. Due to this, all RAW files will not be released (nor sold). All images delivered for download and or viewing are edited to improve its condition, such as lighting, color, contrast, shadows and sharpness — all of which are standard for digital photographers.

    • RAW Files may be discussed if client is high profile (i.e. Real Estate Company, Politician, Celebrity).
