Navigate to my booking page to view my calendar.  Simply select the date you wish, and book the photoshoot via the form.  Remember to book the Makeup Artistry & Hair Styling services separately on the same date/time as your photoshoot if you would like these services offered to you before the session.  For booking one of my travel dates, click here.

Deposits are non-refundable.

Session dates can be modified  to a date within 365 days of the original session date, so long as a minimum of 30 days written notice (email) is given, except in the case of a travel date (when I am working outside the Toronto, Ontario area), with which there can be no changes, and thus, no refunds.

When you book your session with me, you are ultimately purchasing time.

When you book me on a Tuesday afternoon between 12pm and 4pm, I’m not able to earn income from other sources during that time, because I’ve committed to be at the studio/gym/park (wherever we agreed upon) ready to work for you.  If you’ve booked Makeup Artistry & Hair Styling services, those individuals are also on set and ready to work with you during the time you’ve purchased.

If you should fail to show up for your session, or arrive late, my team and I are still entitled to fair compensation for the time we’ve spent preparing, and the time we’ve set aside for you, for which we are unable to earn income from other sources, because we’ve honoured our commitment to you through the time you booked.

The deposit(s) which you pay in order to book your session, serve as payment for my team and I to “show up” and be ready to work with you, regardless of whether you are there or not.

If you wish to move the date of your session to another in the future, I require a minimum of 30 days notice.  This, again, has to do with my ability to earn income during the time which I’ve set aside for your session.

Consider this:  If you email me a few days to a week before your session, asking me to move your session a month or more into the future, it is highly unlikely that I will be able to book another client into the time you had initially requested.  Why?  Well, like you, people plan their sessions well ahead of time, due to the preparation needed (physique, booking time off work, tanning, etc).  It is extremely unlikely someone would inquire with me about a session between the time you requested your cancellation, and the actual session time.

Because of this, I would be sitting idle during the time you initially booked me for, and when I am idle, I am not earning.  It is for this reason that I require a minimum of 30 days notice for a change in session date.

With respect to my travel dates (outside of the Toronto, Ontario area), I cannot guarantee the ability to modify session date/time.  When I book a trip, the collective deposits are utilized to pay for expenses such as flights, accommodations, etc.  If you request our session be moved to a date in the future (when I am again visiting the area which we were originally to work together), I will once again have expenses which need to be paid for, and as-such, an additional deposit will be required.

Retouching is the alteration of artwork, to introduce or enhance desired features and reduce or remove undesired ones.

As part of my standard offering (with any package), I will automatically adjust and correct elements such as exposure, colour temperature, colour saturation and crop.

I offer an additional image retouching service which is designed to further enhance an image by reducing or removing blemishes and deep wrinkles while enhancing features such as eyes and skin tone.  It is offered in single, 3-image and 10-image packages.

For those who wish a publication-quality retouching service, I offer a beauty retouch – like you’d see on a magazine cover.  This service is offered at an hourly rate, is quoted individually based on each specific image.  To receive a quote, email me.

Generally, I can retouch an image inside a 3 hour window.  However, I am working on images from a number of clients at any given time, so providing a concrete timeframe is difficult.  That said, I guarantee a turnaround time of 14 days from time of selection.  So, you’ll have your retouched images back within 2 weeks of the date you provide me your selections, or in the case of purchasing images above and beyond what’s included in the standard package, 2 weeks from the time payment is processed.

If I’m even 1 minute late in delivery, I’ll pay YOU what I normally charge for retouched images.  $50 for a single image, $100 for 3 and $300 for 10.  You’ll receive this in cash, along with your images when they’re ready.

The 14-day guarantee applies to my standard personal packages.  Commercial and custom packages may differ.

If you require your images returned quickly, I offer a rapid retouching service which reduces the turnaround time to 2 business days.

Take your time.  I’m in no hurry – they’re your photos.  Some clients have their selections to me the day after shooting, and others wait a few months.  It’s really up to you.

While viewing the proofs page(s), you’ll notice each image is represented in a thumbnail.  These thumbnails are numbered and this is done for you, so that you can easily refer to each image when comparing.

I will need the actual image number for each of your selections.  This number is not the thumbnail number, but is actually the file name itself.  When you click a thumbnail to see the large version of the image, the image number (or file name) will be shown in the URL.

Example:  http://www.markbradfield.com/proofs/ppond/20151104/content/_D8X8919_large.html

In the above example, the image number which I am looking for is:  D8X8919.

My rates aren’t the lowest around, but they’re not as high as they could be either.  One method I utilize to keep costs down, is to build some marketing into each image.

When a client posts an image online (website, social media space, etc), my logo accompanies the image and thus, potential clients are able to easily view my work, and I can keep my own advertising costs down.  I pass those savings onto you, the client.

Additionally, an image without a logo seems to have no owner, and there are some who will “borrow” images they find online and use them for their own (sometimes commercial) use.  It’s difficult and expensive (legally) to enforce copyright and have those images removed.

If you remove my logos from the images you receive from me, or allow other websites to crop the logos out, you effectively purchase a commercial license for each instance and are thus subject to the commercial rate for each image.  This can be thousands of dollars, so it’s best to leave the logos, or inquire with me first so we can start a dialogue and I can determine your needs.
