"Dear Alex & Genia,
We just wanted to thank you for all the amazing job you did with our products! We never thought a photo of our bottles could look so good and pretty. Your high quality images were done fast and with a lot of understanding about our product and what Natures Lovers is all about. We love working with you and are looking forward to start working with you on our new line. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :) "

Photography Assignment Process

1. Pricing: Our pricing has been developed based on a variety of factors. Every shoot is different and requires different preparation, scouting, and post-production process. Please answer the questions in our “Quote” section for an estimate specific to your needs.

We also charge an hourly creative fee for the photo shoot, pre- and post-production time, travel time and usage rights fees. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email us for details.

Note: The photo session interview form you send us should be as detailed as possible. It should include the estimated number of images and details about where those images will be used (i.e. books, magazines, advertising, brochures, web site etc.). We will contact you if there's anything we need to specify.

2. After you fill out the form, we'll send you an estimate for the project along with our agreement. Prior to scheduling your photo-session on our calendar, we require a 50% deposit. The balance is due upon completion of the work.

When we receive a signed estimate with the agreement and deposit, we will schedule your photo session.

3. After the shoot (usually the same or next day), we'll prepare a proofs gallery for you. Your proofs are uploaded to our web-server and the web address (URL) is e-mailed to you. Your proofs stay on the server for 20 days (longer by agreement) to give you time to choose. Proofs are lo-res batch converted jpeg files for selection only and should not be considered as representing final quality!

4. Once you have selected the images and sent us the ID of the ones you selected, we will create the hi-res TIFF image files. These are all given individual attention and are cropped, color-balanced, cleaned, and retouched by hand.


5. Delivery of TIFF and/or JPEG files is normally made using an FTP site or e-mail. Delivery of CD or DVD is available free, upon request.

Satisfaction guaranteed

AKELstudio, Inc. offers a satisfaction guaranteed policy, ensuring that your images will be of the correct exposure, resolution, focus and subject matter required for your business. If these criteria are not met, we’ll re-shoot for free.
