Scheduling and Contact Information
Request for photography appointments should be submitted via my website at samrubiophoto.com/booking, phone call/ text message to (561) 285-2933, or email to samuelrubio84@gmail.com with as much detail as possible. We will reply back within 24 hours to verify the date, time and location of the shoot. Once both parties have acknowledged the date and time of the appointment, the appointment is considered “booked’.
At the Shoot
The client is responsible for the presence of an authorized representative at the shoot to approve the photographer’s interpretation of the project. If a client or brokerage representative is not present, the photographer’s interpretation shall be deemed acceptable. The photographer will make a reasonable effort to remove litter, stray objects, etc. from the rooms; however please note that this does not include things like making beds or arranging furniture. Agents are expected to have the property staging and cleaning completed prior to the photo shoot. All properties will be shot “As Is”. Your input is important when choosing the best rooms and angles to photograph. Absent your input, the photographer will use his best judgement and experience to decide how best to photograph the property.
After the Shoot
Once the images have been made, the photographer will perform digital retouching and deliver the images the following weekday, unless otherwise specified. Delivery is via FTP transfer to the email address(es) you supply.
Cancellation, No-Show and Inclement Weather Policy
If cancellation or re-scheduling is necessary, please do so with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Any shoot cancelled within 24 hours of a booked appointment is subject to a $100 cancelation fee. Arriving late, beyond 30 minutes to an appointment will be considered a cancellation. Every effort will be made to accommodate a re- scheduling. In the event of inclement weather preventing photography, a new date will be scheduled at the earliest available time.
Rights and Usage
All images produced for an agent or brokerage, may be used by the client for any and all marketing materials and campaigns associated with the property and for the client’s self-promotion. The photos may also be used by the client’s parent company for the sole purpose of marketing the specific property photographed. Ownership of the images remains with the photographer, and license is granted only to the client and client’s parent company, and not to any third party. Any usage of the images by a third party, including but not limited to, architects, builders, designers, sellers or buyers, is strictly prohibited unless approved in writing by the photographer.
Payment
Payments will be made at the shoot by cash or check, unless otherwise specified.
