This agreement is between The Photographer: Jennifer Evans Photography and The Client.
**Receipt of booking confirmation details, via email or post, will constitute agreement of the following terms and conditions. Any variation to this agreement must be agreed in advance in writing.
Booking details
The terms of the session shall be confirmed via email for price, terms, timings and number of edited images delivered. After the shoot the preview images shall be delivered for selection. Please note that these are preview size low resolution jpgs and will be watermarked, and only the final edited images will be licensed for your personal marketing purposes and use.
Retouching
The final images delivered will be edited and adjusted for exposure, contrast, colour grading, sharpness etc, plus a light retouch to clean up skin, blemishes and dark circles. The professional retouching is designed to be natural and subtle so they are an honest reflection of each client, whilst looking your best. Clients are not advised to retouch the images themselves. Please speak to me if you'd like further retouching and I'll be happy to help you.
Payment terms
The Client's right to use or reproduce a picture arises only when Jennifer Evans Photography' invoice relating to the grant of such right is fully paid. Any reproduction before payment of the session constitutes a breach of this Agreement.
Delivery of images

The digital images will be delivered in both web and print formats via dropbox. (If you are in a rush for a deadline, please discuss beforehand and if possible I can prioritise a designated image - or offer an express service for an additional fee).
Copyright

Storage of files
The raw images from your shoot are stored on a hard drive for around 2 years, so you can order more edits should you wish. Best efforts will be made to store the images safely. The photographer is not however liable for any technical malfunction of the hard drive. Your (ordered) edited ‘delivered’ headshots will be stored online/ in the cloud for a longer period as a courtesy for archival purposes. It is your responsibility however to store your edited images safely to your own computer & cloud accounts after delivery.
COVID 19
Please inform me if you begin to feel poorly before your session or if you’ve been in close contact with someone with covid, and we’ll reschedule. I’ll do the same. All bookings are undertaken at your own risk. The photographer can’t be held accountable if you develop covid after the session. If you are vulnerable or would like to be careful there are a few options. Flag with me and I’ll take a lateral flow test beforehand. We can have windows open and keep distanced (around 2 metres). Or you can always request an outdoor only session in the fresh air - and we’ll also keep distanced. Plus if you’d like me to wear a mask, let me know.
