USEFUL INFORMATION
1. Social media usage
On every shoot, Luke Dillon Photography (LDP) tries to post on the shoot that he is shooting. This is to show LDP audience and potential clients about what LDP are doing. Being in the social era content will be used across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tik Tok with stories, posts, videos and reels. If you do not wish to be tagged or credited or do not want LDP to post about your shoot please let me know as soon as possible.
2. Booking / Cancelations
Shoots canceled within 10 days of the shoot will be charged 50% of the shoot price. If you decide to rearrange the shoot charge will only be 25% of the shoot price. If the cancellation is due to medical or personal life charges will not apply but a reason will have to be given. If you have any questions about this please contact Luke Dillon Photography.
If Luke Dillon Photography cancels the shoot you will receive the full shoot price (not including travel/expense) as compensation if LDP cannot sort out a cover photographer. Compensation does not cover travel issues surrounding break downs or public transport cancellation or medical issues on the date of the shoot.
3. Insurance / Documents
If you need to see insurance cover before a shoot or proof of public liability cover or even DBS certificate please let LDP know. Documents can provide this through email directly to you and bring it to the shoot if needed. LDP fully insured and have up to £10,000,000 cover in public liability.
4. Things to consider when booking
There is a lot to think about when it comes to a shoot and no two shoots are the same. It is always best to plan in advance and think of
everything you may need. Not all of these may apply to you but please think ahead of any shoot.
Time & Location: Arrival, set up time, venue access, private access.
Creators: Need more than one photographer & video coverage.
Concept/brief: What is the plan/goal to the shoot and what is required.
When do you need the content by?
Special requirements?
Have you seen a photo you want to replicate or style off?
5. Additional services
Do you need an additional photographer, maybe videography, do you need photos on the day or an online site for people to download photographs?
6. Expenses
Generally, the only expense is travel. Usually, he travels by car but if I can make it cheaper by traveling by train he will. Every shoot the travel is logged as an expense. The charge fee per mile is 50p and does not change no matter the distance. Hotels usually do not need booking but if the distance of travel is over 4 hours or a shoot is over 12 hours hotel pricing may apply. Additional prices may apply for food/drink, rented equipment, staff and fast turn around. This will all be estimated before a shoot and signed off.
7. Payment Options
Electronic payments are taken through bank transfer or PayPal, an invoice is sent after the shoot is complete and has been signed off. This means all alterations have been done and you need no more services. This invoice will need to be paid within 15 or 30 days of the date on the invoice. The invoice date will be from the day sent. If the invoice is not paid by the 'pay by date' 10% of the invoice cost will be added for each week overdue.
