Q) Do you shoot colour?
A) No - We specialise in classic monochrome
(black and white) portrait photography.
Q) What deposit is required?
A) We take a $90 non-refundable sitting fee
prior to the sitting.
Q) I have more than one person I want included
in the sitting - do I have to pay extra?
A) No - The basic sitting fee covers multiple
people or a small group.
Q) Do you charge a higher fee to come to my home
/ office / etc?
A) We charge a modest location fee in addition
to the $90 sitting fee for locations outside the
Northern Beaches. Travel fees may also be
charged where the location is more than 20 klms
from Avalon Beach.
Q) What If I can’t make it at the last minute?
A) We try to be understanding but, you must
realise, we run a business and very often have
turned others away because we are already fully
booked for that day. Any rescheduling within 7
days before the confirmed photography Session
date may result in the full loss of your $90
deposit and another $90 deposit may be required
to confirm your new date. Call us to discuss
your circumstances.
Q) What forms of payment do you accept?
A) We accept cash, personal cheque, money order,
Visa and MasterCard.
Q) Will you hold a date while I decide?
A) No. The first person who decides to use us
and who pays their sitting fee secures that
date.
Q) Who is the photographer?
A) Michael Hogan is always your photographer.
Q) How long before I get my photographs?
A) Your proofs are typically ready in 7 days. We
then arrange to meet with you and review the
proofs and decide on what to print. The
exception to this is when we do high end work with Polaroid
T55 in the studio; in most cases we are able to
decide from the Polaroid proof what to print.
Q) Do You Use My Photographs For Advertising
Purposes?
A) Michael Hogan Photography reserves the right
to use any images they have taken for
advertising and promotional purposes. Michael
Hogan Photography retains the copyright to all
photographs taken.
