Can I have the RAW photos?

RAW photos can only be opened and processed by special camera RAW software.  You don't want RAW files.  They are unedited, flat and don't look like my style at all.

What most of my clients really want are High Resolution JPGS.  These are delivered to every client in a file size that is appropriate for anything you need to put online or print. 

For Lifestyle or Advertising shoots, we will determine the exact sizes you need for your content purposes (Billboards, magazines etc...)

In short, the answer is NO - photographers own the copyright to any and every image they take (you do too with your phone!)

You will be licensed to use the photographs in all forms of media (except large magazines, billboards, advertisements etc...) worldwide and in perpetuity! 

So while you don't own the copyright, you have the right to use them where ever and how ever you'd like!

Just remember to credit me!

How much does a makeup artist charge?

Makeup rates start at $200 and can be paid the day of your session.  Based on your individual shoot, you may choose to have your makeup artist stay and change your makeup for a small additional fee. A $25-50 tip is industry standard for a makeup artist so please plan accordingly.

Can I do my own hair & makeup?

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that clients have our makeup artists at your session.  Our artists are professionals that understand how lighting works with makeup and specialize in maintaining workflow to keep each photo session efficient. 

Will Levi help style my shoot?

YES! Once booked, you'll have the opportunity to set up a phone or virtual wardrobe, hair & Makeup constultation with Levi.  You'll walk confidently into your shoot knowing you've got what you need.

Will Levi help me pose and smile?

Levi has worked with thousands of people and he is known as “the smile king!”  He directs every moment of your shoot because he understands that not everyone works with the camera that often.  Understanding how to connect to the camera with your eyes is the most important element and Levi is the master at teaching newbies how to do that. Technically he should be called “The Smize King”

How many photos will i get in my headshot session?

Your proofs will be delivered via dropbox and you can choose 2 images for your headshots that will be retouched.. Additional images are $75 each. Discounts available for bulk orders.

How many photos will i get in my Lifestyle session?

After your lifestyle session, you’ll get a Dropbox folder with proofs of your entire shoot (minus the wonky ones).  Clients select 10 from each look to be delivered with retouching costing $35/image. (discounts available for bulk orders)  Additional images are $75 and include retouching.

When will I get my photos?

Our usual delivery time is 7-10 business days.  You will receive a link with a dropbox that will include your entire shoot (minus the wonky photos) and a folder with Levi’s favorites.  As an experienced photographer, most clients seek his feedback in regards to his work for his individual clients.

What is the difference between studio and natural light?

Studio lighting is artificial light using powerful strobes, most clients say this is like a “magazine” shoot.  This type of lighting usually brings out a lot of detail in your skin and everything is super “in focus”.  

 

Natural Light (Levi's favorite way to shoot) is a beautiful soft way to light the skin with the benefit of it filtering more evenly.  With Headshot and Lifestyle sessions, Levi can provide both options for you.  With staff headshots, because of the volume, we choose one or the other based on your preference.

How many people can you shoot in a day for my company?

Levi and his team can photograph up to 40 people in one day in ten minute intervals.  If you have a large company with more than 40 people, we cut down the shoot time and do a quicker session without losing quality.
