FAQs

The Headshot Plus package also allows more time for your session. Payment is required upon booking for both packages. We accept BACS, card payments, and Klarna.

You'll receive a web gallery of all your images and select 8 images for retouching. A £100 non-refundable deposit is required to book this package.
3. What is the Exclusive Branding Experience?
The Exclusive Branding Experience is our most comprehensive package, featuring 15 high-end images with a session lasting 6-7 hours. This includes multiple outfits, locations, and creative setups. The package features a pre-shoot consultation, professional hair and makeup and high-end retouching. You’ll also receive optimised images for social media and various platforms and custom branding materials. A £300 non-refundable deposit is required.
4. How far in advance should I book my session?
It’s best to book your session at least 4 weeks in advance. For peak times or special requests, booking 5-10 weeks ahead is recommended. I operate a waiting list for lastminute cancellations, and booking early ensures you get the date and time you need.
5. How should I prepare for my headshot session?
Preparation tips will be provided in the info sheet sent upon booking. Generally, ensure you get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy makeup or fake tan. Clean and style your hair in a way that makes you feel confident. For detailed preparation advice, refer to the info sheet.
6. Can I request additional retouching or urgent turnaround?
Yes, additional retouching is available at £50 per image. For urgent needs, express turnaround is available for an extra £75. This must be arranged in advance and is subject to availability.
Do you offer sessions in locations other than your studio?
Yes, I offer on-location sessions. For locations outside Nottinghamshire, a travel fee of 45p per mile applies. I am based in Nottingham and am available for national commissions.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel, please provide as much notice as possible. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice incur a £75 fee, and those with less than 24 hours' notice incur a 50% cancellation fee (£195). In cases of illness or urgent conflicts, please contact me immediately.
9. Do you provide recommendations for hair and makeup?
Professional hair and makeup services can be provided upon request with good notice. For a natural look, minimal makeup is preferred.
Will I get to see images during the shoot?
Yes, we will review images on camera during the shoot to ensure you are happy with the look and the way I’m shooting. You can sign off on the final shots before we finish.
What are the image license terms for your headshot packages?
Images included in headshot packages are licensed for personal use only, including portfolios, social media, and personal websites. For any commercial use, such as advertising or media publications, please contact me for a custom quote. All images remain the property and copyright of 'Ryan Hall Studios' and must be credited appropriately.
Can I split or share a session with someone else?
No, I don’t offer split or shared headshot sessions. Each client requires dedicated time for the best results.
Can you accommodate specific requests like full-body shots or editorial style images?
Full-body or editorial style images are available with the Branding and Exclusive Branding packages only. For these requests, please book the appropriate package.
