File Size

Digital files are shot in Small Fine (1-2 MB). Small indicates the file size. Fine indicates the amount of detail (fine as in high quality). Small Fine files work for posting online or printing in standard sizing. The file will not work for billboard or extremely large format printing.

File size does not indicate resolution or quality.
If your file appears blocky or pixelated, your device, program or e-mail may have compressed the file. Compression squeezes the data to make it fit into the same file, but removes redundant information to save on space resulting in pixelation. Programs and websites will do this to make the program/website run more efficiently. Digital files are not sent compressed.

Gimme More Details!!!
Canon R5 Body or Canon 5D Mark IV.
85mm Prime or 24mm-70mm Zoom.
Small Fine JPG (PPI) DPI is used to prep files for print.

Retouching starts at $10 and includes further editing such as brightness and color.

*Additional Information/Policies

*Convention/event sessions are deconstructed versions of  studio headshot sessions. Event sessions are provided at no cost to you (the guest). The $250 value is an example and does not reflect an actual monetary value. Clients are not entitled to any compensation if they do not receive 3 digital files after sitting with Chelsea V Photography.

**Multiple visits are applicable for events where the organizer has permitted multiple visits for the guests. Chelsea V Photography reserves the right to refuse service to guests for multiple reasons including but not limited to using the service more than once when the organizer requires 1 visit per guest, the guest does not qualify to use the service (such as having a paid membership or their convention attendance status does not allow use of the photo service), unruly or abusive behavior from the guest. If you, the guest, are not happy with something, please present your issue in an orderly manner and Chelsea V Photography will try to resolve your issue within reason.

***For individual delivery, your e-mail is required for photo delivery. You must provide an e-mail that can receive attachments from a Gmail account. Do not use an advanced security/high filter e-mail. You must enter your full e-mail correctly. Please check your spam folder if you do not see the photo delivery. Photos come from ChelseaVinfo@gmail.com. If you did not enter a correct e-mail or an e-mail that can receive attachments, you will have to rejoin the line, enter a new e-mail and retake your photos. Individual delivery typically takes a few minutes (unless otherwise noted due to unforeseen issues), so if you do not receive your image within 10 minutes, please let Chelsea V Photography know as soon as possible.

****Retouching on outfits and hair will need to be assessed before proceeding. You will be notified via e-mail if the request is possible before being charged and retouching work is performed. Not every outfit or hair style can be retouched (patterns, the way it sits on the body, etc. will determine if the retouch is possible).

Once payment is submitted, retouching will be processed. Payments for retouching are nonrefundable once submitted. Retouched digital files are nonrefundable and cannot be exchanged.
