Cars, mostly - showroom stock, the detail, and the walk-around a listing needs - plus the product, interior and people shots a business needs around them. Automotive and luxury in Dubai is where most of the last few years went, which shows up less in the gear and more in knowing where the reflections are going to be at 4pm.

A set number per package rather than everything that came off the card, because a folder of four hundred near-identical frames isn't a delivery, it's homework. The image count, how many cars or units it covers and the delivery window are all stated next to each package on the pricing page.

The half day covers your own organic and listing marketing; the full day and the retainer extend that to paid. All of them are perpetual for your own marketing, so nothing expires and nothing needs renewing. What none of them allow is reselling the images, sublicensing them, or putting them into a stock library.

Not by default - they're a paid add-on on the full day and aren't supplied on the retainer. It isn't precious about it: an unedited raw isn't the thing you're buying, and a raw that comes back with someone else's grade on it stops being my work while still having my name attached to it.

Yes. A location shoot is an add-on on the full day and included within Dubai city limits on the retainer. Permits are handled separately and honestly: I coordinate them, the authority's fee is passed through at cost, and neither of us gets to talk them down.

Yes. Same person shoots it and grades it, so what you saw on the day is what turns up in the folder. Nothing goes out to an overnight editing service, which is also why my delivery windows are honest about being one person's rather than a factory's.

We move the day, at no charge, as long as I hear before I've loaded the car. That's the only thing I'd ask in return - a shoot that gets cancelled from the car park is a day nobody can sell twice.

Usually. Send me three you like and I'll match the grade rather than impose mine. It matters more than it sounds: a listing page where half the cars are warm and half are cool reads as two different dealerships to anyone scrolling it.
