More useful information can be found at FAQ.
BOOKING
1.) You are required to fill out and send the booking form via the Pricing page (it can be reached simply by clicking the button under the package descriptions)
2.) I review your request, then I get back to you the soonest.
3.) After agreeing in the date, time and the most important details the next step is the deposit.
4.) You can save the date with a deposit of HUF 20,000, which would be arranged via a secured payment link. I'll also need your home address details in advance for the invoice. Please note that I can produce invoice solely to natural persons, but not to companies!
5.) After the successful payment I send you a confirmation email with all the necessary and useful information regarding the photo shoot.
PAYMENT
Deposit/prepayment:
You can save the date with a deposit of HUF 20,000, which would be arranged via a secured payment link. You can prepay the total amount as well. I'll also need your home address details in advance for the invoice. Please note that I can produce invoice solely to natural persons, but not to companies!
Payment of the remaining amount:
Arranged after the session on site. You can use either cash or card (I have a mobile card reader accepting most major cards). If you prefer cash, please prepare with the exact amount. I can accept HUF at the moment.
RUNNING LATE
Please call, or send me a note as soon as possible. Please note, that I might have another session right after the one with you, which means I will not be able to extend the tour. In such a case you can use only the remaining time.
If you run late up to 15 minutes and I do not have another session following yours, the session can be extended free of charge. Should you be late more than 15 minutes and I do not have another session following yours, the session can be extended only with paying the difference for the higher package.
It is recommended to plan to arrive 5-10 minutes before the agreed time of the photo shoot.
RESCHEDULE AND/OR CANCEL THE PHOTO SHOOT
Reschedule:
Sometimes unexpected things could happen. In case you had to reschedule the photo shoot, we will try to find a new date for you.
Note: It could happen that we'd have to choose a location different from the one originally planned depending on the new start time or other circumstances. Example: If we rescheduled an early morning Fisherman's Bastion session for an afternoon, it's recommended to to choose a different location, because Fisherman's Bastion is super crowded at any time other than early morning.
Reschedule because of actual weather conditions:
Cloudy sky, wind, drizzling or light rain, snow (until it's still comfortable to walk around with an umbrella) are not circumstances to reschedule a session. In case of bad weather, e.g. heavy rain, or just light rain but strong wind at the same time, so it's not possible to use an umbrella, we would try to reschedule the session.
In case the new date/time offered by the photographer is not manageable for you for any reasons, the deposit is not refunded. However it would be deducted from the rate of a future photo shoot.
In case the session cannot be rescheduled during your stay due to the photographer not being available, the full deposit will be refunded.
Cancellation:
The following policy applies for cancellations:
Notice received 5 or more days before the photo shoot: 100%* of the deposit is refunded.
Notice received less than 5 days before the photo shoot: 50%* of the deposit is refunded.
Notice received less than 72 hours before the photo shoot: deposit is not refunded.
Notice received less than 48 hours before the photo shoot: 50% of the total agreed amount is required to be paid.
Not appearing on site and not getting in touch in 20 minutes after the agreed meeting time the booking would be handled as a "no show": 50% of the total agreed amount is required to be paid.
Please note, that I do not take any responsibility for any loss due to canceled, delayed or re-scheduled photo shoots.
You are kindly asked to inform me about rescheduling or cancellation the earliest!
*HUF 5,000 nonrefundable transaction fee applies when partial or full deposit is paid back.
DURING THE PHOTO SHOOT
Please note that group sessions (couples, family or friends session) are mostly about group photos. We can obviously take a few solo portraits as well, but basically we would focus on group photos. Should you have other plans, please reach out to discuss it in advance!
CHOOSING THE PHOTOS
I will edit ALL the photos that turned out to be good from our session. Then I will share an online gallery with you, where you can choose your favourites yourself, and download the number of photos included in your package. Should you like to have more photos there is possibility to purchase more via the same gallery, using online payment. You can even purchase prints and albums. You will see the actual pricing in the gallery.
LEVEL OF EDITING
The following will be adjusted on all the images: lights, shadows, colours, crop, contrast, sharpness. I also do a slight skin softening. Skin retouch, slenderizing, or other adjustments to the shape of the body, and/or removal of any objects on the image are not offered!
DELIVERY TIME
I need only 3-5 days to edit your images. You will receive the photos via a download link, sent directly to your email address. However if you'd like to receive your photos sooner, I offer a "next day delivery" service as well up to my availability (actual rates are on the Pricing page).
IMAGE QUALITY
You will receive full size, high resolution, print ready images.
USE OF THE IMAGES IN MY PORTFOLIO
Having your permission some of the images might be used in my portfolio. Basically it means that they could be shared on my website, on social media or other online platforms. However, if you prefer to keep them 100% private, I will obviously respect it. You can decide it after having the edited images seen.
COPYRIGHT OF THE IMAGES
You will have the right to use the images for personal use only. That means you can download, share or print them, but you cannot sell them. Should you use the photos outside your social media profile (e.g. blog site, other websites, interview in a magazine, etc.), my name has to be added for the photo credit.
I retain the copyright of all the images.
RAW FILES
I provide you solely with the edited photos in high resolution JPEG format. However, I always retain the original/unedited raw files.
PHOTO SHOOT IN SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
In order to operate safely and within the limits of the equipment, severe weather conditions (high winds, lightening & heavy rain) may preclude photography from taking place.
It is the responsibility of the photographer to cancel or delay a photo shoot based on extreme weather conditions.
Cloudy sky, wind, drizzling or light rain, snow (until it's still comfortable to walk around with an umbrella) are not circumstances to reschedule a session. In case of bad weather, e.g. heavy rain, or just light rain but strong wind at the same time, so it's not possible to use an umbrella, we would try to reschedule the session.
In case the new date/time offered by the photographer is not manageable for you for any reasons, the deposit is not refunded. However it would be deducted from the rate of a future photo shoot.
In case the session cannot be rescheduled during your stay due to the photographer not being available, the full deposit will be refunded.
Please note, that I do not take any responsibility for any loss due to canceled, delayed or re-scheduled photo shoots.
FEES
Travelers are responsible for any transportation fees or additional fees (admission to museums, parks, ferry tickets, bus, food, etc.) required for you and the photographer.
LIABILITY
You agree to release me (András Grausz) from any liability for damage, losses and injury to you or to any person or property resulting from the use of my services, accepting yourselves as the full responsibility for any and all such damage or injury.
I (András Grausz) will not be liable for incidents related directly or indirectly with my services.
