Practical information
Frequently asked questions.
Quick, honest answers about my services, booking, payment, the studio and what happens to your photographs afterwards.
Services and availability
Do you photograph weddings?
No. Full-day weddings are not the right fit for the way I work. I focus on shorter portrait, event and commercial jobs instead.
Do you take passport or identity photographs?
I do not offer an official passport-photo service, so I cannot promise that an image will meet document requirements. You can book a studio portrait session with a plain background, but it is not sold as an identity-photo service.
Do you offer free or TFCD sessions?
Sometimes, if I need a particular type of work for my portfolio. I post open collaborations on the castings page of my personal site, so that is the best place to check.
Do you photograph artistic nude sessions?
Yes, when the project is artistic and everything is agreed in advance. I handle these sessions privately and professionally. You can see examples in my personal portfolio.
Do you provide video services?
No. Although I studied video production, my current work is entirely photographic.
Do you work outside Cluj-Napoca?
Yes, depending on the project, location and timing. Send me the details and I’ll confirm whether I’m available and explain any travel costs.
Booking and payment
How do I book a session?
Choose a service on the booking page, pick an available time and pay online. If your project needs a conversation or quotation first, contact me before booking.
Can I visit the studio without a reservation?
No. You need to book portrait sessions and studio hire in advance. I prepare the studio for each booking, and somebody else may already be using it when you arrive.
Do you accept cash?
No. Online bookings are paid electronically. Card payment is available when an additional payment is needed in person.
Will I receive an invoice?
Yes. An invoice is issued for every paid service.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. Gift cards can be purchased online and used toward an eligible photography service. They are valid for 12 months from purchase.
Why are many services priced by the hour?
Because it keeps the price connected to the time you actually need. I would rather let you choose the duration than make you pay for a fixed package that may be too large.
Images and the studio
Will you send the unedited photographs?
No. You choose the photographs you want me to finish, and I edit those before delivery. I do not supply the unedited files.
How many finished photographs are included?
Every booked hour includes six edited photographs. You can add more after making your selection, and the cost calculator will show you roughly what the extras would cost.
Does the studio only use flash lighting?
No. The studio has flash and continuous-light options. Some modifiers are designed specifically for studio flash, so contact me if your project requires a particular continuous-light setup.
Gift cards
How long is the gift card valid for?
Gift cards are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Can I choose my own amount?
Yes. You can select one of the preset values or enter a custom amount.
Can the gift card be used for any service?
Yes. You can choose whether the gift card is valid for all services or only selected services.
Can I send it directly to the recipient?
Yes. Enter the recipient’s details during checkout and the gift card can be delivered directly to them.
Can I include a personal message?
Yes. An optional gift message can be included with the gift card.
What if I don’t know the recipient yet?
You can keep the gift card unassigned, receive it yourself, and share it later whenever you’re ready.
Can I purchase gift cards for employees or clients?
Yes. The system supports commercial and company billing details, making it suitable for businesses and organisations.
About me
Do you speak Romanian?
I understand some Romanian, but I’m not fluent enough to run a full session in it. I normally work in English and can use written translation when needed.
Why did you move to Romania?
I moved from England to Romania in 2013 because I wanted a change and something completely different. I found it, then settled in Cluj-Napoca in 2014 and have proudly called the city home ever since.
