FAQ

What is pre-edit?
- Pre-edit refers standard image retouching and enhancement including color correction, exposure and white balance adjustment. Slimming body and removing skin pimple are not include pre-edit process.

What is the turn-around time?
- In general portrait sessions, you will receive all the lightly retouched photo selection within a week from your shooting day. This including filter the blinks, blurs, color correction, etc. All the images in this selection will be treated with a basic retouching of cropping, color correcting and ready to print. After your selection, the detailed retouched photos will be delivered within another 7 days.

What if I want to order more images after the first viewing?
- If you wish to purchase more images in the future, your photography session is available to order from for up to 6 months after the date of your session.

Can I get RAW unedited photos?
- The short answer is no. As a photographer I value my art, and I want to give my clients the full experience I know they’ll love, including my editing style. An unedited RAW file does not meet my standard of excellence and an unfinished product. They are are huge and take up heaps of space, you need special photo editing software to even view them, and they don't retain the editing. Photographers spend hours or even days to retouch their photos in a way that reflects their style and gives their clients incredible images they’ll remember forever. By hiring a photographer and then asking them to deliver their work unfinished, half complete, you aren’t receiving the service they intended. You are hiring me because you trust me and like my style, editing is part of the component.

Can I copy the photographs I have purchased?
- Wen Photography retains full copyright of all images taken at your photographic session, which means it is a criminal offense to copy, scan, photocopy, reproduce, or email any of the images purchased unless you have paid for digital files and have a license to print.

What if I want my photos on the same day of the shooting?
- Same day delivery is available with a rushing fee upon request.

What if I want to add a person to my shooting session?
- There is a fixed number of person included in each package. $100 for each additional person.

Can I change outfits during the session? Do you provide costumes and styling?
- Yes! You can change as many outfits as you needed in the allotted time. To consider sanitation and safety measurements during Covid-19, the studio doesn’t provide any costume. Makeup and styling are available with charge.

Can you duplicate an image exactly the way I want?
- I welcome any ideas, examples, inspirations bring in. I will try the best to meet the expectation. The client must take concern and understand that every photographer has a different style and approach to meet their aesthetic standards, please see the work examples on wenphoto.net before booking. More so, hire a photographer who’s style you DO love!

How many photos will be edited?
- You will review all the pre-edited photos from your private online gallery and choose your favorites for further editing. You will receive high-resolution and detail-edited photos from your selection for downloading.

About retouching:
- Good retouching is indefatigable and endless. When you hiring me you admitted my editing style. I offer one revision as your request for each image.

- Each package comes with a fixed number of retouched images. Extra retouched photographs are available for purchase. I prefer retouching to look natural. Your headshot will always get a general complexion smoothing, teeth whitening and gentle under eye lightening if needed. I am happy to hide double chins and extra weight, and whiten teeth or improve the overall appearance of your hair upon request. Body sculpting is available at an extra charge. I'd love to make you look your absolute best while still looking like yourself.

- The retouch of at-home or on-location portrait sessions excludes removing any subjects in the scene. For example, I won't remove a closet that behinds the figure.

About photo delivery:
Your photography session is available to order from for up to 6 months after the date of your session. If there is no instant request for alternation such as adjusting file size or editing, the project is assumed completed and will be archived up to 6 months.
