Licensing

For the vast majority of projects, you have full unrestricted usage of the photos. On certain projects, some licensing rules may apply.


Editing Questions

Standard Editing

Standard editing means all photos receive adjustments such as brightness, contrast, white balance, crop, and removal of dust or small blemishes.

Extended Editing

Removing blemishes, imperfections, fabric wrinkles, straightening edges, removing labels, and changing colors can also be done. There is a fee associated with this type of editing.

Cleaning

Cleaning is always necessary in some form. It may mean simple dusting, or it may be more involved. You want your product to look perfect, and we do not want to spend endless hours post-processing specks of dust.

Styling

Clothing, loose handles on a bag, folded towels, positioning cables, and holding a box open are all styling operations. Food photography is one case of extreme styling.
