Before you gift
The questions I get most
How is the gift card delivered?
+
By email, the moment your payment goes through. You always get the code yourself, to hand over in person, and if you add their email they get a designed card too, straight away or on a date you choose.
Which amount should I choose?
+
If it's for their first proper portfolio, £480 covers Portfolio Builder, the shoot most people book. Not sure? Type your own amount, anything from £20 to £2,500. If the session costs more, they pay the difference, and anything left stays on the card.
Can I choose a custom amount?
+
Yes. Type any amount from £20 to £2,500 in Your amount above, or tap Other in the checkout.
How do they use it?
+
They book like anyone else: pick a session, tier and date, then enter the code at the payment step. It comes straight off the price. If it covers the whole price, they pay nothing at all.
How does it work with the deposit and Shoot Now, Pay Later?
+
It pays the £75 deposit first, then comes off the rest. If it covers the whole price, there's nothing to pay. Shoot Now, Pay Later splits whatever is left, so every payment is smaller.
What can it be used on?
+
Anything. Photoshoots, dance reels, vocal reels and Polaroid Day, at any tier. If the session costs more than the card, they pay the difference. Anything left over stays on the card for next time.
Where is the studio?
+
Photoshoots, vocal reels and Polaroid Days are at The Brazier Studio, 490 Larkshall Road, Highams Park, London E4 9HH, on the Weaver line (Overground) from Walthamstow Central or Liverpool Street. Dance reels are filmed at a professional London dance space, and the address comes by email with the booking.
How long is it valid?
+
Twelve months from the day it is bought, long enough to plan the shoot around their casting season. Then it expires. If they're struggling to find a date, they can message me before then and I'll help them get booked in.
Can it be swapped for cash?
+
No. It's valid for 12 months on any photoshoot, reel or Polaroid Day. That's in my booking terms.
They're under 18. Is that OK?
+
Yes. A parent or guardian can book and pay, and is welcome for the whole session.
