A short list of questions, asked before you pay a deposit, does more to protect a gig booking than any amount of portfolio browsing.
- How many images will I actually receive, and how many of those are retouched?
- What if the weather, venue or schedule changes on the day?
- How long until I see a proofing gallery, and how long after that until every last file is actually delivered and usable?
- Is travel beyond central London included?
- Can I see a full, unedited example of a similar session, not just the highlights reel?
None of this is awkward to ask. Any photographer worth booking will have clear answers ready, and Emmet.t.c’s gig bookings (quoted per set length and pit access) are built to answer every one of these before you commit.

FAQs
Two common questions, answered.
Can you deliver images the same night?
For time-sensitive releases, yes. A small batch of selects can be edited and sent while the gig is still going, with the full set following after.
Do you cover full sets or just a few songs?
Either. Some bookings only need the pit for the first three songs, others want the full set covered, including crowd shots and the wider room.
