PHOTO RETOUCHING
For retouching additional and/or other photos my rate is $25 per image (removing blemishes, under eye circles, stray hairs, making colors pop, etc – assuming you aren’t looking for “please make my left eye bigger” or the like)… I ask for payment up front when i receive the images in order to put them in my work queue. If you’d like another photographer’s photo retouched, please be sure that you have his/her permission to do so. Heavier retouching is priced at a per image basis.

PHOTO F.A.Q.’s
DO YOU OFFER HAIR AND MAKEUP?
For the most basic adjustments, I can and will be on the lookout to make you look your best. For an additional $50 on your session, I can bring a kit for make-up changes alongside your session. If you’d like to book a make-up artist, I know several talented people to bring to the session. Please note that they usually have an additional day rate that is due at the the shoot.
WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE?
Payment is due at the end of the session – when an event finishes and/or you are satisfied with the results from your time. You can pay by cash or check, or credit card via Paypal to SKETCHARTISTS[at]GMAIL[dot]COM
DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
Discounts are currently only offered to repeat clients. However, I also occasionally take on charity and make-me-an-offer projects – drop me a line and hope your idea intrigues me!
WHERE DO WE SHOOT?
I’m currently based in Queens, and I’m available to make housecalls. We can shoot just about anywhere in the city your heart desires. Studio shots have a way of looking uniformly impersonal. Exploring NYC is one of my favorite things about living here!
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SHOOT?
Roughly 1-3 days after the shoot (depending on shooting schedules), I’ll send you the link to a private online gallery with images from the session. Have a look through and let me know your favorites. I’ll process some of my favorites, and we’ll go from there. Full size images can be sent to you via FTP or available on a disc.
WHAT CAMERAS DO YOU USE?
Canon Digital Rebel xTi SLR, Olympus SPZ500, Canon Rebel G EOS 35mm, Polaroid, a lot of point and shoots. Film/Video experience spans a crazy variety of DV and 24p cameras, HD, and 16mm.
WHAT DOES “FIRECRACKER” MEAN?
I have many hobbies and passions, but to put those things under an umbrella – one could say that I like creating beautiful things. I’ve done a variety of artistic endeavors. From Hair and Make-Up (including cutting/dyeing and sfx gore), to Production Design and Website Design. From Knitting, to Karaoke Hosting, to Nail Art and Room Organization – if it’s artistic and needs to get done, chances are I’m either good at it or I enjoy the hell out of it (hopefully both). If you’ve got a spark, I’ve got a fuse. |
