Photography: Often you will see a photography special being advertised. The fee being advertised may be HIS/HER fee only. This means that if they advertised themselves at $300, you will have to add hair/makeup and styling to that fee. Questions to ask before booking your photographer: Does the fee include hair and makeup? If the fee does not include hair and makeup services, does the photographer have a preferred list of people that you can look at? That list should include links to the artist’s work. Does the fee include any “photoshop” services? The truth is that ALL photos are tweaked. The only photos that should never be touched up are your snap shots which clients and agencies will ask you for. Those images should be RAW. Do you receive ALL of your images or do you only get what the photographer thinks are your best images? This is very important because some photographers will only create a gallery of photos with the images they think are best and will ONLY release the photos you choose. Most models want to look at all their work before choosing. Will you retain all rights to your photos? Will you receive all of your photos in high resolution?
