The photographs are the easy part.

01 — What actually goes wrong

A line, a
missing gallery,
and rain

A graduation session can lose time to a queue, an unplanned route, or weather. Those are practical constraints worth addressing before any appointment is offered.

The proposed workflow puts route planning, weather, and delivery terms in writing before a client is asked to rely on them.

  • Proposed · No line charges Proposed policy: You are never billed for time spent standing in a line. The session is scheduled so that we are not standing in one.
  • Proposed · Scheduled around the crowd Proposed policy: Iconic spots are shot early, in an order that puts you in front of them before the crowd arrives.
  • Proposed · A delivery date, in writing Proposed policy: Your gallery has a delivery date, agreed in writing before the session, on your booking confirmation.
  • Proposed · Weather moves the date, not the price Proposed policy: If it rains, or the wind is over 15 mph, or it is below 35 or above 95 degrees, we move the session and you pay nothing extra.
  • Proposed · One photographer, every time Proposed policy: I photograph every session myself.
  • Proposed · The route is planned before you arrive Proposed policy: Your route is planned before you arrive, in the order the light works.

03 — Friend groups

Bring the
people you
survived it with

Bringing friends lowers what each of you pays, because the planning happens once.

The proposed
session workflow.

  1. 1

    Enquiries open after the operating checks

    Until then, no date, payment, or private information is being accepted through this site.

  2. 2

    A written plan comes before a session

  3. 3

    Route choices are confirmed for the actual day

    Iconic spots are shot early, in an order that puts you in front of them before the crowd arrives. Access, queues, and weather cannot be promised in advance.

    Direction is part of the proposed service

    The photographer plans to offer simple direction on posing and movement; no result is promised before the work is demonstrated.

  5. 5

    Delivery terms are agreed before a booking

    No public turnaround is being promised yet. Any delivery date, gallery access, and print-release terms must appear in the reviewed agreement.

  6. 6

    Optional print products are priced separately

    They are not part of an open purchase flow and will be reviewed before they are offered.
