Collaboration Guidelines
Collaboration is the way of meeting new artists and growing. Each member in the collaboration gets the agreed number of images to use for their content creation and portfolio.
At our studio we love collaborations with other artists. We aim for quality and not quantity, so here are some guidelines and studio policies to ensure a calm and smooth photo shoot session.
-
Collaborative shoots done at our studio are quick and to the point due to time constraints and work commitments of everyone.
-
Professionally in our industry collaboration is a a one time agreement between artists involved and no one has rights to use collaboration terms and engagements to alter, modify or influence each other’s business routines on favour basis.
-
Raw i.e. unprocessed camera data will not be given to any parties involved in the collaboration.
-
All artists involved will be given a chance to select the best images. (Note, these should be a total of 6 or less of all the images taken of the subject as mentioned above)In case there are more selections the photographer will therefore make decisions for best selection.
-
6 of the total shots taken will be selected from total shots taken which will be delivered to all the artists involved.
-
All 6 images will contain watermarks of the photographer and embedded metadata of all the artists involved in the shoot.
-
Out of 6 only 3 of images will go through the post processing workflow i.e.. retouching. In 3 of the images specified,1 will be extensively retouched and 2 will be moderately retouched to create a studio standard image.
-
It is vital that each artist must communicate with the photographer, in advance and not on the day of the photo shoot session, if there is a specific request and can be obliged due to time constraints.
-
All artists must note that tempering with the metadata or watermark on the image while sharing it for any use in public or private domain will be considered a violation of the collaboration agreement.

If the artists involved require more images to be delivered, each image will be charged a subsidized rate of ₹ 500/- INR each. (Retouching Non Inclusive.). Retouched images can be purchased at a subsidized rate of ₹ 1500/- each .
