What do you mean with "Edit", exactly?
What I mean with Edit is: the process of selecting your best images and then sequencing them in the optimal way for your final output. Processing images or styling images with postproduction is a different process which I'll be very happy to help you with, but is not included in this service; if styling is what you are looking for, just write me an e-mail with your brief and I’ll get back to you asap.
Will we have the possibility to talk about my vision for the Edit?
Yes, we will. The service includes a 30 minutes Skype session in which we will discuss together the possible directions to take with the Edit and other details, so that we will be on the exact same page before I start the work. We will share the screen, so that we will be able to watch your material together, at the same time.
What should I submit for a Project Edit?
I normally like to see all you have shot about your project, for a maximum of 1000 images. This applies either your project will be published on your website, printed for an exhibition, submitted to a contest etc...It doesn't matter that images are processed with postproduction, out-of-the-camera files will be absolutely fine.
What should I send for a Portfolio Edit?
Your Portfolio is here intended as a single selection (for eg. 1 web gallery or 1 sequence for your Print Portfolio) which represents the "best of your work". If you need a full Web Edit (different projects and galleries) please see here.
For a Portfolio Edit, I normally like to see a wide selection of images, for a maximum of 1000 images. It doesn't matter that images are processed with postproduction, out-of-the-camera files will be absolutely fine.
Books Edits
If your project is a book I'll be very happy to help you (I love photo books!).
If you need a simple one-page/one-image sequence this can be absolutely done as a Single Edit (same timeframe, same price of 150 GBP) for a maximum of 50 final images.
For more complex books, I’ll be equally happy to work with you, but this can be a slightly longer process; the length depends on a few factors, such as the number of pages, of pictures, if you need me to work with a text, if you already have a layout and a structure, etc; if you are interested, just write me an e-mail with your brief and I'll get back to you asap. If you have a designer helping you for the layout I'll gladly work along with them under your direction.
How should I prepare my material?
For format and resolution, what works best are JPGs (no RAWs, no TIFFs or other formats, please) @ 1000px longer side (smaller, I won’t see them properly, bigger, they will jam everything). If you’ll decide to carry on with the Edit after the Free Intro Call, please make sure the submission link is downloadable (Dropbbox, Google Drive, One Drive, WeTransfer, whatever works for you …).
How and when will I receive my Edit?
When your edit will be ready I will send it back to you via WeTransfer. Depending on your final layout, the included sequence will be either embedded in the file names (progressive order) or adapted to a mock layout.
The Edit will be delivered within your chosen Turnaround Time (5 or 2 business days).
Please remember that the Turnaround Time will start after I will have received all the material (It's hard to make an Edit without pictures!).
When will I pay?
You will pay only if you’ll decide to carry on with the work after your Free Intro Call. Payment of 150 GBP with Standard Turnaround (5 business days) or 225 GBP with an Express Turnaround (2 business days) will be made via Paypal.
This, more or less, covers it all
but if you have doubts or questions please just drop me a line and I’ll get back to you asap.
