Delivering a Quality Service
Planning
The creative process starts when you contact Mark Zaretti
Photography and in a friendly conversation discuss the details
of what you want. He will then provide a simple quote with no
hidden extras and a date for the shoot is set. You can
then relax assured that you are working with a reliable professional.
Preparation
Before your shoot all the equipment - every single lens and light sensor is
delicately cleaned using special professional cleaning equipment - a process
that literally takes hours.
The Shoot
During your shoot, whether it is in a studio or on location, Mark Zaretti
works in a relaxed and professional way putting everyone at ease. With an eye
for detail and top of the range lighting, lenses and cameras -
like an artist having the right brushes, paint and lighting creativity flows without
restriction. He gives constant feedback during the shoot and invites you to see the
preliminary shots as things progress maintaining communication as appropriate with
you.
Post Production
This attention to detail and creativity are carried into the next stage
where Mark will spend on average two hours in post production for
every hour of studio time manually going over every single picture
to make a great picture even better. Every single picture Mark delivers has
gone through this process:
"This 'high key' fashion image was created using powerful lighting from multiple
sources with the right backgrounds to capture the detail in the dress, hair
and make-up. During the post production phase the
make-up was enhanced and the image was manually adjusted taking it further
towards the energetic, high contrast and deliberately stylized look shown
on the right. Even in more candid or natural shots such as at weddings and
corporate events I take the same level of attention to detail and care on
every image."

What is the price?
Maybe you've heard the saying "There's a big difference between price and cost
- 'price' is what you pay for something
and 'cost' is how that decission affects you."
- A good example is buying a car - choosing a cheaper car will save you money
in the short term compared to a better or newer car, however the long
term 'costs' include: higher maintanance fees, the stress of worrying about
breakdowns, lower 'status' and I'm sure you can begin to imagine other 'costs' too.
Now consider photography. Working with a professional means increased quality,
which means having the best quality images to enjoy and use and making the best use
of your valuable time and as my clients will tell you, great photos pay for themselves...
"Wow I'm totally blown away by the quality of your work - this is like
something from Vogue Magazine!... I've used three other photographers before but your
work is many times better! It's the best money I've ever spent on photography...
thank you so much!

Excellent Value
Compared to certain high street studios where you can easily end up paying £800
for a single framed print! Mark Zaretti offers extremely good value for money. Another thing
that is unique is his pricing -
"Every job is unique and varied so the price will vary. Some
photographers offer packages which mean they have to factor in an extra margin to
cover those jobs that demand more. Now I'm guessing you don't want to pay that extra amount?
and that is why I keep it really simple - once we have talked
and I understand your needs then I will provide you a no-obligation quote based only
on your requirements, giving you value for money."

Example Prices
To provide you with a rough idea of his pricing here are some typical scenarios. The
actual price will vary and may well work out even less depending on factors such as
travel, equipment needs, duration and expenses incurred. In some cases a discount is available
for multiple bookings, charities and non-profit organisations. A no-obligation quote is
easy to get simply contact Mark Zaretti
