Thankyou for your kind comments. My work is incredibly important to me, as is the emotional reaction both of clients and the public in general to it.

RE:
art photography - the non-importance of quantity or size in judging work


Thankyou for your email.



Muchas gracias.
Es un poquito mas que yo pienso pero yo me gusta su
trabajo.



Thankyou for your kind
comments. My work is incredibly important to me, as is the emotional reaction both
of clients and the public in general to it.



De que tamaño son las 10 fotos?




For me the most fundamental element in assesing the importance of art or of an art
photography picture is not the size of any piece produced but the emotional
elements that come together in a magical fusion of personal technique, individual
style and empathy with the model or subject. That said, as an ex-lawyer, all my
contracts set out size guidelines to inform clients who seek, as is
understandable, confirmation in this regard.
"High resolution photo files:

For photography services the photos selected in high resolution in hard drive
from xx mp in JPEG approx. xx MB per
photo thus allowing for the production of copies size xx x xxcm"


Es possible de comprar mas?
       
If there are additional digital photos available (because finally a number of
digital photos is selected by the photographer (following his creative,
artistic, technical criteria and taking account of the people in the pictures
and their relation to the clients(s)) in excess of the quantity specified in the
estimate) taken within the specified
hours duration of photography service, these will be placed in low
resolution 72 dpi on an internet gallery for the clients in contact sheets in
size approximately 500 pixels protected by copyright watermark approximately
50% transparent for the clients to select the photos  they want indicating the image files required
in an Excel document in order indicating the image file numbers and any
additional photos over and above the quantity specified in the estimate will be
available in high resolution JPEG 8-16mb approx. in hard drive at a price of xx
Euros per digital photo (for 3 months after the date of the photography session
after which period the price may vary). Once the final selection has been made
and all payments made the web gallery will be redone with the selected photos
only marked with a small watermark in a corner. Note that this watermark will
only be one digital photos selected in internet the client will receive high
resolution files of digital photos by ftp and/or in the client’s hard drive
without watermark thus allowing printing etc"


You will understand that my concepts of art, portraiture, photojournalism and
photography are based not on high volume mass produced production but on the
long term importance of each picture, both for clients and within the context
of photography in general. This said, you will note that the estimate
does provide for situations that can arise where justifiably different and
sufficiently high quality photos are produced over and above any set number,
where these can be offered to clients. In the case of additional digital photos
the clause is set out above.



Y yo quiero saber cuantos fotos toma en la sesión.



"Number
of photo(s) and number & duration of video(s):


10 digital photos

0 video(s) of 0 minute(s) duration
"



"
·         The photographer does not provide to or show the
clients original RAW files and presents only photos in jpeg which the
photographer has selected. The photographer presents selected photos in jpeg which
have been processed by him personally using programs such as Photoshop
according to his best judgment taking into account all his technical and
artistic preferences. The photographer specifically selects to produce photos
in colour or in black & white according to his best judgment taking into
account all his technical and artistic preferences.
"



I have no idea how many photos I take to produce 10 finished pictures, nor is
it of any importance at all. There may be photographers who can shoot 10 photos
to get 10 photos and may be photographers who shoot thousands to get 10 photos.
The personal methods employed in the creation of fine art photography are not
the essential element, but instead the quality and/or importance of the
finished final selected photos that matter. If I have a contract to produce 10
pictures my only concern is to produce the best 10 pictures possible that will
emotionally affect myself, clients and other viewers of those pictures for
generations.



También, dice el centro de Barcelona, pero queremos
hacerlo en la playa.
¿Es eso posible?



Yes of course. This is no problem.



I am working in the darkroom today but would be most pleased to speak to you
personally via phone or Skype to resolve any doubts you may have before you
confirm your booking.



I checked your Hollywood acting and voice work which was very nice.



Kind regards



Edward
