FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About the Photoshoot
I have compiled the most frequently asked questions so that everything is clear even before we meet. If you don’t find the answer to your question here, please feel free to contact me!
General Information
Where is the studio located? I have two home bases. In Budapest, I welcome clients in the 11th district (Lágymányosi u. 15), and in Vienna, in the 1st district (Schwedenplatz 2). Additionally, I am happy to travel to external locations, offices, or outdoor settings for on-site shoots.
What languages is the photoshoot conducted in? I conduct photoshoots in Hungarian and English, ensuring smooth communication for international clients or mixed teams.
I am not photogenic and I get nervous in front of the camera. Is it worth booking? This is the most common fear, and my answer is: definitely yes! I believe that "there are no bad models, only bad photographers." My job is to create a safe atmosphere where you can relax. I work with a psychological approach and never force anyone into unnatural poses. I guarantee that you will love the final result.
The Photoshoot Process
How long does a photoshoot take? This depends on the chosen package. For a business headshot, 30-60 minutes is usually sufficient, while we dedicate more time to creation for a portfolio or glamour series. I don't watch the clock: we work until the "perfect image" is captured.
Do I need a makeup artist or hairstylist? Professional makeup significantly elevates the quality of the images, especially due to the strong studio lights. Upon request, I can recommend a professional makeup artist and hairstylist or organize one for the location. For men, basic anti-shine powder is usually enough, which I can help with. However, in 90% of cases, a simple foundation applied by the model herself is sufficient; I handle the rest via software post-production, achieving the same effect as professional makeup.
How do I receive the images? After the photoshoot, you can view the raw images in a selection gallery. You can download the selected and retouched high-resolution photos from a private, cloud-based storage.
Post-Production and Usage
Do you retouch the images? Yes, upon request, I perform premium post-production on all images you select. My philosophy is naturalness: I remove temporary skin blemishes and dark circles, but I do not alter facial features. The goal is for you to show your best form without creating a "plastic" effect.
What can I use the images for? You receive full usage rights for personal purposes (LinkedIn, website, CV, social media, dating profiles). For commercial use (e.g., billboards, book covers), a separate agreement is required.
How long does it take to get the pictures? Usually, I send the finished material very quickly, within 2 business days of your selection. In urgent cases (e.g., for press appearances), I can also undertake express deadlines.
