SINGLE EDIT

 


What do you mean with "Edit", exactly?

What I mean with Edit is:  the process of selecting your best images and then sequencing them in the optimal way for your final output.


Are PostProduction & Styling included?

Yes, PostProduction & Styling of your final edit will be included in the service at no extra fee, if you desire so. I will send you 3 samples for your approval before proceeding to process all pictures. If you rather process the final edit yourself of course you are free to do that, you can decide freely after having seen the samples.

When will I pay?

The initial Free Intro Call will be free of charge. If after the call you’ll decide to carry on working together, a payment link will be sent to you after you'll agree on all features, price, payment method, details and delivery date that will be sent to you in a written form as a Work Proposal. The payment request (250 Euros) is upfront, via Wise (you don’t need to have an account with them, you just need a credit card).


Will we have the possibility to talk about my vision for the Edit?

Yes, we will. This service includes a 20 minutes Free Intro Call in which we will discuss together the possible directions to take with the Edit and other details, so that we will be on the exact same page before I start the work. We will share the screen, so that we will be able to watch your material together, at the same time.


How does the Free Intro Call work?

1.  Book Your Free Intro Call
The Free Intro Call is a way to get to know each other and start envisioning the work we might do together. At the end of the call you will be free to decide whether you want to book the service or not; in case you’ll need more time to decide or you wish not to proceed, you'll be as free as a bird, no questions asked!Choose your slot from the calendar and send me as many details as you want via the Booking Form (or not).

2. Send me your material!
Right after booking you can start sending me your material following the Submission Workflow guidelines that you will find in your Booking Confirmation e-mail. Please make sure to send me everything at least 1 business day (24 hrs) before the appointment! If you want to read the Submission Workflow guidelines before booking, you can find them here.

3.  Let’s talk!
Just click on the Google Meet you have received in the Booking Confirmation e-mail and call me at the time that you have chosen. I will share my screen with you so that we can see your pictures together; we will have the time to ask each other questions and to explore a possible structure for your edit and a postproduction style, customised on your final output and market.


4.  What next?
If you think our chat was useful to you and you wish to carry on working together, I will send you a link for the payment via Wise (you don’t need to have an account with them, you just need a credit card). The Edit will be delivered to you with a Turnaround Time of 5 business days from payment reception, via WeTransfer.


What should I submit for a Project Edit?

I normally like to see all you have shot about your project, for a maximum of 1000 images. This applies either your project will be published on your website, printed for an exhibition, submitted to a contest etc...It doesn't matter that images are processed with postproduction, out-of-the-camera files will be absolutely fine.


What should I send for a Portfolio Edit?

Your Portfolio is here intended as a single selection (for eg. 1 web gallery or 1 sequence for your Print Portfolio) which represents the "best of your work". If you need a full Web Edit (different projects and galleries) please see here.For a Portfolio Edit,  I normally like to see a wide selection of images, for a maximum of 1000 images.  It doesn't matter that images are processed with postproduction, out-of-the-camera files will be absolutely fine.


What should I send for a Book Edit? 

If your project is a Book I'll be very happy to help you (I love photo books!).If you need a simple one-page/one-image sequence this can be absolutely done as a Single Edit (same timeframe, same price of 250 Euros) for a maximum of 50 final images.For more complex books, I’ll be equally happy to work with you, but this can be a slightly longer process; the length depends on a few factors, such as the number of pages, of pictures, if you need me to work with a text, if you already have a layout and a structure, etc;  if you are interested, just write me an e-mail with your brief and I'll get back to you asap. If you have a designer helping you for the layout I'll gladly work along with them under your direction.


How should I prepare my material?

For format and resolution, what works best are JPGs (no RAWs, no TIFFs or other formats, please) @ 1000px longer side (smaller, I won’t see them properly, bigger, they will jam everything). For sending me the files, just make sure your submission link is downloadable (Dropbbox, Google Drive, One Drive, WeTransfer, Smash, whatever works for you …). If you wish to have your pictures processed with Postproduction (included in the service) at the end of the work I will ask you to send me the high res of the final selection.


How and when will I receive my Edit?

When your edit will be ready I will send it back to you via WeTransfer. Depending on your final layout, the included sequence will be either embedded in the file names (progressive order) or adapted to a mock layout. The Edit will be delivered within your with a Turnaround Time of 5 business days from from payment reception.


May I cancel or reschedule my booking?

Yes, you can. I do accept cancellation at any time prior payment. For Free Intro Calls, if you can't make it, please cancel or re-schedule within 24 hours before your appointment.
