The Process of the Photoshoot + Viewing
By booking a photoshoot with me, Chris Norton, whether this a a full or part paid photoshoot, a prize that you have won, a complimentary photoshoot, an offer from Chris Norton or have been given a Gift of a photoshoot then please be aware of the process involved.
Upon making a booking, We agree a suitable meeting point from where the photoshoot shall start. I allocate enough time in my diary for the photoshoot to take place, and also my travel time to and from the photoshoot location. A Booking Fee is required in order to allocate that time/date in my diary.
At the end of the photoshoot we will then go directly onto the Design Consultation of the images captured. This will be at suitable venue or at your home address.
The Design Consultation is where you will see your images and to make your order. I will help you with sizes and styles to suit your requirements. Your order will be fully edited and manufactured in the best award winning Photographic labs in the U.K.
It is for the above reasons, and me spending on average between 6 and 10 hours per photoshoot that any payments, booking fees made up to this point are non-refundable should you not attend the photoshoot and/or the viewing. You will also forfeit any promotional offer or product that would otherwise be part of the photoshoot.
Equine Photoshoot
Equine Photoshoots are normally held at your Yard/Farm, Location.
Travel charges will apply for the photoshoot if outside 30 miles of Hay-on-Wye, please contact me for rates of travel for your location.
The photoshoot will be discussed at time of booking, for me to take notes on number of horses, and change of outfits to wear.
Each Photoshoot on average is 2 to 4 hours long for one horse, this takes into consideration of walking to various areas within your location and also a change of outfits.
What happens if the Weather is unsuitable for the photoshoot to go ahead?
