Logistics & Pricing

9. How far in advance should I book?
It’s best to book as early as possible, especially for peak seasons or specific dates. I recommend reaching out at least 6-8 weeks in advance.

10. What are your rates?
Rates vary depending on the scope of the project. Please get in touch with me directly with your project details, and I’ll provide you with a customized quote. Otherwise, prices are listed during booking for most photography projects.

11. Do you charge extra for travel?
Travel costs are typically included within a certain radius. Additional travel fees may apply for destinations further afield, which we’ll discuss during the booking or inquiry process.

After the Shoot

12. How long does receiving the final photos or videos take?
Final delivery times vary depending on the project, but typically, you can expect your edited images or videos within 2-4 weeks.

13. Will I own the rights to the photos and videos?
Yes, you will have personal rights to all images and videos delivered. Under U.S. copyright law, the creator (photographer/filmmaker) automatically retains copyright unless rights are explicitly transferred. However, as the client, you are granted a personal use license, meaning you can print, share, and display your photos for personal or non-commercial purposes. We do reserve the right to use them in our portfolio and marketing unless otherwise agreed upon.

Ownership and usage rights are structured differently for commercial and filmmaking projects. Each project is licensed based on its intended use, whether for advertising, branding, or distribution. Copyright and intellectual property laws govern directing, cinematography, and production, ensuring that creative contributions are appropriately credited and protected. Licensing agreements clearly outline how the final work can be used, including exclusivity, duration, and distribution rights.

If you require full copyright transfer or an exclusive license, we can accommodate that with a customized agreement tailored to your project’s scope and needs.

14. Can I request revisions?
Absolutely! Your satisfaction is my priority. I offer a round of revisions to ensure the final product meets your expectations.

Special Requests

15. Can you accommodate special requests or unique projects?
Definitely! We love taking on unique projects that challenge the norm. Share your vision with us, and we’ll create something special together.

16. Do you work with models, actors, or other creatives?
Absolutely! We frequently collaborate with models, actors, stylists, makeup artists, and other industry professionals to bring projects to life. A successful production is built on the right team, and we have access to top-tier talent to ensure your vision is fully realized.

If you need help sourcing talent for your project, let us know. We’ll connect you with the best creatives to make it a success!

Gear and Equipment

16. What gear are you using?
Our Gear, Your Vision. At JarinV Studios, we believe that the right tools bring a creative vision to life, and we operate with the best the industry has to offer. For photography, we rely heavily on Canon’s R5 Mark II, our go-to camera, for its incredible dynamic range, speed, and color science. When it comes to filmmaking, RED Digital Cinema cameras take center stage with their unmatched ability to deliver cinematic quality for high-end productions.

However, we understand that every production has unique needs. As professionals, we don’t limit ourselves to a single brand or style. Whether your project demands ARRI, RED, or something custom-tailored, we adapt our gear and techniques to align with your vision, ensuring the best tools are chosen to deliver the highest-quality results. From cameras to lighting, sound, and accessories, we cover every corner of the production process.

Our one caveat? Aerial Cinematography. We fully trust DJI’s Inspire 3 for nearly all of our cinematic aerial shots. Its innovation and cutting-edge design redefine what’s possible in aerial filmmaking, giving us the freedom to capture breathtaking, dynamic perspectives.

Whatever your production requires, we bring the tools, expertise, and artistry to create something extraordinary.
