Questions

What do half-day and full-day shoots include?
Photography sessions start from $175 with an agreed shot list and editing scope. Half days start from $700* (up to 4 hours of shooting), and full days from $1,400* (up to 8 hours). Includes shoot planning, photography, standard editing of the agreed final selections and digital delivery. Standard editing covers color, exposure, cropping and basic tonal adjustments—not unlimited images, revisions or advanced retouching. Your quote confirms the finished-image count, editing scope, revision allowance, turnaround and usage. Additional images, detailed retouching, compositing, crew, locations and travel are quoted and approved before extra work. *Final pricing depends on project scope, editing needs, location and production requirements. Message Kanyon Studio for an official quote before booking.
Are there any additional costs?
Models are provided at no additional cost. Specialist styling, paid locations, permits, shipping, video and other production requirements are confirmed in your quote before booking. No fixed product count or prepaid shipping label is promised by the half-day rate.
Who pays shipping?
Inbound and return shipping costs, carrier requirements and any customs arrangements are agreed in your quote. Wait for your confirmed receiving address and instructions before sending products.
What about weather or changes to the plan?
Outdoor shoots depend on suitable weather, location permissions and model availability. The schedule and revision allowance are confirmed in your quote; new concepts or additional shoots are quoted separately.
Do I need to find models or attend?
No. Kanyon provides the models for all shoots at no additional cost. Send your products, Kanyon arranges the models and shoot, and you receive the agreed photographs. You can plan and approve everything remotely; the schedule, model releases and usage are agreed before the shoot.
How are photos delivered and licensed?
Receive the agreed high-resolution and web-ready images in an online gallery. Before booking, your quote confirms permitted uses, such as your website, social media or advertising, along with territories, duration and model releases. Usage is specific to your agreement.
