A short list of questions, asked before you pay a deposit, does more to protect a branding session 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 branding session bookings (from £1,000 for a half day, £1,800 for a full day) are built to answer every one of these before you commit.

FAQs
Straight answers below.
How is this different to a headshot?
A headshot is one image for one purpose. A branding session builds a whole visual identity: portraits, candids and detail shots that work across a website, socials and press together.
How many images do we end up with?
A half-day session typically delivers 20 to 30 retouched images, a full day 40 to 60. The full proofing gallery is reviewed first, then the final retouch list is chosen.
