Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a professional photoshoot doesn’t need to feel complicated. Here are the answers to the questions I’m asked most often about product photography, branding sessions and workshops.
What type of photography do you offer?
I specialise in product and branding photography for artists, makers and creative businesses. This includes clean product images, styled lifestyle photography, portraits, creative-process photographs and wider brand storytelling.
If you are unsure what type of shoot you need, get in touch and I’ll help you work it out.
How much does a photoshoot cost?
Every project is quoted according to what you need, the complexity of the shoot and how the photographs will be used.
Branding Sessions start from €2000. Product photography and combined product-and-branding projects are quoted individually.
How do I book?
Start by sending me a little information about your business, what you need photographed and where you plan to use the images.
Once we have agreed the scope, I will send you a quotation and booking details. A booking fee is required to secure your date, with the payment schedule outlined in your quotation.
Where do photoshoots take place?
Product photography is usually completed in my studio in Naas, Co. Kildare. Products can be delivered in person or sent by courier.
Branding photography normally takes place in your own studio, workshop, shop, office or another location connected to your work. I work with clients throughout Ireland.
Will you help me plan the photographs?
Yes. Planning is an important part of the process.
Before the shoot, we will discuss your business, audience, priorities and where the photographs will be used. From there, we can create a clear shot list covering the products, people, process, locations and details that matter most.
I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of my clients are far more comfortable making their work than posing beside it.
I will guide you throughout the session, helping you with positioning, movement and what to do with your hands. The aim is to create photographs that feel natural, professional and recognisably you.
Can product photography be included in a Branding Session?
A Branding Session can include products as part of your wider story—for example, photographs of you making, holding or working with them.
Dedicated product photographs requiring individual styling, specialist lighting or clean backgrounds are quoted separately. If you need both, I can create one coordinated plan for the project.
Can you create photographs for different platforms?
Yes. Let me know where you intend to use the images so we can plan suitable compositions.
This may include horizontal website banners, vertical social-media images, square crops, press photographs or images with space for text. Not every photograph will suit every format, so it is best to plan these requirements before the shoot.
Will my photographs still look natural?
Yes. My work begins with real people, real products and real creative spaces.
Professional retouching is used to polish the finished photographs while keeping people and products believable and accurate. I do not replace the heart of your business with something synthetic. If specialist retouching or compositing would benefit a particular project, we will discuss it beforehand.
How long will it take to receive my photographs?
Branding galleries are normally delivered within approximately 14 days.
Product-photography turnaround depends on the size and complexity of the project. Your expected delivery date will be agreed before the shoot, particularly when you are working towards a launch or campaign deadline.
What files will I receive?
Your final photographs are supplied digitally in the formats appropriate to your project. These may include high-resolution files for print, web-optimised files for online use and TIFF files where required.
Files are normally delivered through SwissTransfer or a similar service. Download links are available for a limited period, so please download and back up your photographs promptly.
Are revisions included?
One round of reasonable adjustments is included unless otherwise stated in your quotation.
Revisions cover small finishing changes. They do not include a new creative direction, additional images or a reshoot following changes to the original brief.
Who owns the copyright?
I retain the copyright to the photographs and grant you permission to use them for the purposes agreed in your quotation.
If the images will be supplied to another business, used in a large advertising campaign, resold or used beyond the original agreement, please let me know so the appropriate usage can be included.
Please do not apply filters, change the colours, substantially retouch or use AI to alter the final photographs. If you need a different crop, format or adjustment, simply ask.
Photography workshops
Who are your workshops designed for?
I deliver practical product-photography workshops for Local Enterprise Offices, craft organisations, creative collectives, business networks and other established groups.
Where do you deliver workshops?
I facilitate workshops nationwide and tailor each session to the group, venue and products involved.
Participants can learn using their phones, natural light and accessible equipment. Topics may include lighting, composition, styling, useful accessories, practical shooting and simple editing.
How much does a workshop cost?
Workshop fees depend on the location and level of customisation required. Contact me to request a quotation.
Still have a question?
Tell me a little about your business and what you would like to create. I’ll help you decide on the most useful approach.
