Book Your Shoot

Fill out the form below or email me at hello@janaka.com.au if you’re interested in a photoshoot or have any questions.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work and passion. Your interest and curiosity mean more to me than words can convey.

Booking and Payment:

To secure your desired date and embark on our creative journey, a 50% deposit of the total project budget is required. This deposit is non-refundable and marks the beginning of our collaborative process. We'll use this time to exchange ideas and ignite inspiration.

The remaining payment is due on or before the scheduled shoot date. If you require an invoice for your records, kindly let me know, and I'll ensure it's provided promptly.

Shooting Date:

Once we settle on a date, it's firmly locked in. While we're committed to capturing images in the best light, we do understand that weather can be unpredictable. In such cases, we allow for flexibility to accommodate changes due to weather conditions.

Weather and Water Conditions:

The magic of photography often hinges on perfect weather conditions, however, nature's whims can be beyond our control. We'll discuss the artistic vision for your project, but altering the shoot date solely for weather preferences might not be feasible, unless it poses safety concerns for us and our equipment. For underwater photoshoots, we will plan the photoshoot around the best tide and clarity conditions, however if you need to guarantee water clarity or temperature, then we can discuss finding a suitable swimming pool to hire.

Swimming Ability:

When envisioning underwater photoshoots, it's vital to openly express your genuine comfort levels when it comes to swimming and embracing the underwater realm. The ocean, in particular, can bring forth currents, waves, and cooler temperatures that may pose challenges if one isn't entirely at ease in aquatic environments. Rest assured, I'm here to offer dedicated guidance, sharing techniques to enhance your underwater experience and yield remarkable results. However, if uncertainties linger about your comfort in the ocean's embrace, then we can opt for a controlled swimming pool environment. Your peace of mind and comfort is my priority, and together, we'll curate an experience that resonates harmoniously with your preferences.

Photoshoot Locations:

Crafting extraordinary visuals requires the perfect backdrop. I diligently scout and select locations that align with our artistic goals. Certain locations may not look the same at different times of the year and this is out of our control. We will always find a way to produce beautiful results. You are welcome to suggest locations and discuss logistics with me prior to booking.

Nudity:

If your vision involves nudity, it's essential for us to engage in an open dialogue beforehand. Clear communication ensures that intentions and creative visions are aligned. Your comfort is paramount. Images intended for sharing on social media can be provided with appropriate blurring to make them meet community guidelines.

Editing and Retouching:

The images I deliver undergo meticulous post-processing, including stylising, colour-toning, cropping, and minor object removal. I maintain a commitment to authenticity, avoiding excessive alterations that deviate from the natural beauty of subjects. Impermanent blemishes may be retouched, but I steer clear of unrealistic body manipulations or alterations.

A Final Message:

With 20 years of experience, my skillset has evolved through numerous projects and collaborations around the world. In every situation, my aim is to uncover the beauty that lies within, regardless of external conditions. Your journey with me promises a harmonious and meaningful experience, and I'm dedicated to making it memorable.
