Q: What is the price for a group shoot (with more than two models)?

The more people there are in a group, the longer the session usually takes to organize, prepare and then carry out. And the more people in a photo, the longer it will take me to edit. Hence the impossibility of having a fixed rate for group sessions. A family session with six people who only want five photos all together may require less work time than a fantasy trio where everyone requires many trio, duo and solo photos. I take into account the working time that each session will require of me. Do not hesitate to contact me and give me the precise number of photos you would like in solo, duo, trio, etc., so that I can offer you a price. It will then be possible to order additional photos if you don't have enough photos for your taste ;)

Question 1

When are bookings open/closed?

Accepted Answer

I indicate whether reservations are open or closed on my site and/or on instagram - the information may not always be up to date, however! 
 
I work by "season" (March-April-May / June-July-August/ September-October-November/ December-January-February): when reservations for the coming season are open, I announce it on instagram, then when my season is full, I close reservations. I can have last minute availability and announce it on instagram. 
 
If there are no more places left when you contact me, I can ask you to wait for the reopening of bookings, during the following season, or let you know if there is availability during the current season.
 
It is possible to contact me in advance for a particular season - if you want to shoot in an autumnal forest for example! - so that we can already talk about the project, or even proceed with the reservation, but it is possible that I will not be able to do so at this time. My schedule is very changing, it is difficult for me to plan months in advance where I will be, what my availability will be, etc. 
 
The winter season is generally devoted to retouching and personal projects, but in some cases, I can accept a reservation for this period - snow shooting, postponement of a session that should have taken place in previous seasons, etc. 
 
Do not hesitate to check on this site and on instagram if the bookings are open when you want to contact me! :) When they are closed, I may not immediately respond to your request.

Question 2

How is the reservation made?

Accepted Answer

You can contact me via the form (in the Contact tab) or by e-mail (sandy.bizzozero@gmail.com) and tell me about your project. When this project is validated, we will set a date, time and place for the session. Once done, I will send you the contract. I will then ask for a 30% deposit. Once the returned contract has been completed and signed, and the deposit paid, the reservation will be validated!

Question 3

What information to indicate in the reservation?

Accepted Answer

The number of models, the formula chosen, the type of place (or even the place, if you know which one you want) and atmosphere you have in mind, and if you already have one or even helpers. The more precise and detailed you are, the better it actually is :) 
If you have a slightly vague desire, or want to book a fantasy or casual session without a specific project, that's quite possible too! We will think together about what you might like as a session :)

Question 4

Pourquoi les bookings cosplay sont-ils fermés ?

Accepted Answer

J'ai réalisé énormément de séances cosplay depuis que je suis passée pro, l'année dernière notamment où elles ont constitué la majorité de mon année photo. En comptant depuis mes débuts il y a dix ans, on doit parler de milliers de séances ! J'ai simplement envie de réaliser plus de séances hors-cosplay histoire de varier un peu ma pratique de la photographie. Je suis une très grande fane de photo fantasy ou avec des animaux, et je développe une passion récente pour la photo de portrait et la photo de nature. Fermer temporairement les réservations des séances cosplays me permettra de me concentrer sur ces séances-là ces prochains temps :)

Question 5

Je n'ai pas d'expérience de modèle, puis-je réserver une séance ?"

Accepted Answer

Bien sûr ! Je suis là pour vous guider et vous aider à poser et à vous sentir à l'aise durant la séance :)

Question 6

How is the payment?

Accepted Answer

Payment is made by bank transfer, the RIB will be sent to you in the contract. I can no longer accept payment via paypal and I don't have twint, sorry! 
 
Payment is made in 3 instalments: I request a 30% deposit upon signing the contract to validate the reservation; once the shoot is done, I still ask for 30%; the remaining 40% are only asked of you when the photos are retouched. I send them to you in low quality so that you validate them. Once the remaining 40% have been received, I send them to you in HD. 
It is possible, if it is easier for you, to immediately pay the remaining 70% once the shooting is done. However, I do not accept 100% payment directly upon booking. And conversely, I cannot accept a reservation without a deposit. 
 
If you wish to order additional photos after the session, I only request payment for them once I have finished them, usually a few weeks after the other photos. 
 
In the event that travel or other costs (purchase of smoke, clothing rental, etc.) are included, their payment will be requested during the associated purchase - for travel, when purchasing tickets when traveling by public transport; or just after the shoot while traveling by car).

Question 7

What are the travel costs?

Accepted Answer

The transport costs cover the move from my accommodation to the photoshoot location. If I am not traveling with the model, I will have to take public transport or ask to be transported by someone - indeed, I do not drive! :) In these two cases, the price of the tickets or the gasoline, the possible tolls and the wear and tear of the car, calculated in proportion to the journey via the Michelin site, must be entirely borne by the customer. .

In addition, beyond 2 hours of travel, I can request compensation for the time spent in transport, up to €5 per half hour.

Question 8

Mon projet peut-il être refusé ?

Accepted Answer

Si je ne pense pas être la bonne photographe pour votre projet, je peux en effet décliner la demande, et si possible, vous conseiller d'autres photographes plus aptes à remplir cette mission ;) Je préfère être honnête et ne pas vous vendre une prestation que je ne saurais réaliser comme il se doit. Ainsi, il y a peu de chances que j'accepte une demande de shooting zombie dans un souterrain très sombre par exemple ;)

Question 9

Est-il possible de réserver une séance grossesse ?

Accepted Answer

Oui ! Je n'ai pas créé de catégorie spécifique car l'expérience m'a appris que certaines considèrent leur séance grossesse comme un shooting cosplay, pour d'autres il s'agit plutôt de projets fantasy/onirique ; d'autres veulent vivre cette séance avec leur partenaire, il s'agit alors d'un shooting duo. Tout dépend au fond de votre projet ! Contactez-moi pour que nous puissions déterminer quelle formule est la mieux adaptée à ces photos qui immortaliseront un moment unique de votre vie <3

Question 10

What is the price for a group shoot (with more than two models)?

Accepted Answer

The more people there are in a group, the longer the session usually takes to organize, prepare and then carry out. And the more people in a photo, the longer it will take me to edit.

It will then be possible to order additional photos if you don't have enough photos for your taste ;)

Question 11

What does the tariff cover?

Accepted Answer

By paying for a photo session, you are not only paying for the session itself: the price covers pre and post shooting exchanges; the preparation of the shooting (search for places, possible request for authorization for the place, search for reference images, reflections on the concept, the design of the outfit, the make-up or the hairstyle in certain cases, etc.) ; travel time to the location of the shoot (up to 2 hours of travel, beyond that, I can request compensation of up to €5 per half-hour of travel); the time of the session; sorting the photos and sending the preselection with a personalized selection of my favorite photos for information purposes; retouching, from 1 to 3 hours per photo; sending photos, any corrections, etc. In all, an average of twenty hours is devoted to each session. 
Finally, the price also takes into account the various costs related to my activity as a photographer (contributions, etc.)
