After selecting several potential candidates, I plan to scrutinize the terms and details of their offers. It is important to clarify such things as the cost of services, duration of the photo shoot, number of processed photos, formats and methods of delivery of the finished materials. It is also important to discuss possible additional services such as retouching, album creation or photo printing. If there are any special requirements or wishes on my part, I will be sure to clarify them with the photographer before concluding the contract.
