FAQs
 
1. Do you really shoot everything on a phone?
Yes, entirely. By stripping away heavy, intimidating camera gear, I am able to move lightly and capture raw, unforced moments that traditional studios often miss. Modern mobile technology allows me to focus purely on composition, light mastery, and emotional presence, delivering high-resolution art without the bulky setup.
What mobile device do you use?
Currently it's an Iphone15Promax.
Do you offer your 1:1 and group sessions for Samsung users?
Yes, the basic mechanical functionality is identical on both brands. Every core concept I teach will apply equally to both devices.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm Perth Western Australia based and yes I love to travel!
All sessions include travel costs within a 20km radius of Perth metro. Locations outside of that travel radius will incur a flat fee of $30 within Perth.
If you choose to activate my lens regionally, or nationally it will require travel, accommodation and ancillary costs as appropriate, over and above the package price.
How long is a session from The Pocket Collective and The Pocket Alliance?
Sessions times are as specified. Extended shooting times are available for an additional hourly rate of $150/hr upon request.
How does payment work for The Pocket Collective and Pocket Alliance sessions?
To protect our shared time, a 50% non-refundable retainer is required to officially lock in your date. If the weather does not permit a shoot outdoors on the chosen date, we can discuss another location or date. The final balance settles the day after the shoot for you to then be able to access your high-resolution collection within my signature 7-day timeframe.
No hidden upselling, no long studio wait times—just a simple, trusted flow from start to finish.
How does delivery of digital media work?
I choose speed and simplicity. Depending on our session's flow, your unposed moments are delivered in one of two seamless ways:
1. Via Air-Drop within 7 days. We meet up at a mutually convenient location at a mutually convenient time for me to transfer the pictures to your device.
2. Via Email within 7 days through a private Pixieset digital gallery link sent straight to your device.
Is the quality high enough for wall prints?
Absolutely. Every image delivered to your private gallery is a high-resolution, professionally edited JPEG file. You can easily print them as large-format canvases, framed art, or high-end heirloom albums. The files possess clarity, contrast, and depth. Check out 'The Pocket Gallery Global Store' page for more details on sizing options.
Do you do heavy photoshopping or skin retouching?
No. I do most of my editing using only the iPhone tools. My philosophy is rooted in honesty and beautiful imperfections. I will sometimes use other mobile apps for creative touches of editing (if required) based on the vibe you are after and what I feel and see in the picture to best bring out the story. If you are looking for heavily altered skin or mathematically perfect studio lighting, I am not the right creator for you. I celebrate the essence of reality and unscripted chaos, stray hairs blowing in the wind, loud laughs, and the unfiltered truth of the present moment.
Can we print photos ourselves?
Yes, you have full printing and downloading rights for your sessions. Your investment includes the complete digital collection with no hidden fees or print markups. You can download every file to your device with a single tap, and print them at your convenience through your preferred print lab.
For digital downloads purchased through my store, you have full printing rights for personal use to suit your space.
I have another question that is not covered here, how do I contact you?
Send me your query via the 'Contact Me' page and I will assist as best as I can.
Are you flexible around your package pricing?
Yes, if there's an event that sits somewhere in between any of my service offerings, get in touch to get a customised quote.
