SCHEDULING POLICY:
Deposit: All appointments require a non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the photo shoot package. Please do not secure a package and then come back to us later demanding a full refund of your deposit just because you changed your mind and/or can't afford to pay the other half. We want to be very clear that once the deposit is made you will be expected to follow through with your shoot and pay the remaining balance which is due on or before the date of the actual photo shoot. We ask that all participants fully understand this and act responsibly when deciding to take the required next steps to advance your career by placing the non-refundable deposit and scheduling a professional photo shoot. We will deliver on our end and expect you to do so as well.
Rescheduling: Rescheduling can be done without penalty up to 7 days before your photo shoot is scheduled. If you give us at least a 48 hours notice, we charge a small fee of $25 to reschedule. If you provide us with less than a 48 hours notice, you will be charged a $75 rescheduling fee.
Cancellations: Cancellations prior to the day of your shoot will result in the loss of your deposit.
Same-day Cancellations & No shows: Canceling on the same day of your appointment or failing to show up will result in the loss of your deposit.
Why You Should PAY a Professional Photographer Rather Than Do “TFP” Shoots With Amateurs:
"TFP" situations are almost always a waste of time and potentially dangerous. Anyone can buy a camera, make some business cards and claim to be a "professional photographer."
Get in front of someone at a real agency, go on and on about how wonderful "TFP" photo sessions are - and watch how quickly (and often loudly) you are shown the door and asked to leave.
Shooting with Why Hate Music Group is a great experience for aspiring talents. Talents will participate in a professional shoot; they will gain valuable experience in front of the camera; and they will create a portfolio of stand out pictures.
Never Forget: "You are your portfolio" and the last thing you want to be doing on an interview is stuttering, stammering and making excuses for poor images in your portfolio.
