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:


Examples of Mark Zaretti Photography's Professional post production Photoshop 
attention to detail

"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."
