6.1 Photographs taken during the course of the session/event will be at the discretion of the photographer although every effort will be made to comply with the clients requirements.

6.4 At certain venues, the photographer’s movements are sometimes restricted by the official in charge. The area from which the photographer is able to cover the event may not be the photographer’s choice and the photographer cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case.

6.5 On location or events due to a variety of uncontrolled lighting conditions and the limitations of digital sensors, some colours may alter throughout a set of photographs.

6.6 Although all equipment is checked regularly and reasonable steps are taken to ensure backup equipment is available, the photographer will not be responsible for photographs that are not produced due to technical failure.

7. Prints, reprints and enlargements.

I offer a vast array of print and enlargements sizes all with different aspect ratio’s. However on some of the enlargements sizes I offer image cropping may/will occur. Please ask advice before ordering enlargements.

8. Creative Licence:

Michelle Morris Photography shall be granted creative and artistic licence in relation to the choice of locations and poses used. Michelle Morris Photoraphy’s judgement on photographic style and the number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct. Some photographs may not be possible due to changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects. Michelle Morris Photography will do her best to honour requested photographs but does not undertake to guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement.

9. Copyright:

The 1998 Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act assigns copyright to Michelle Morris Photography unless at the time of booking a release is negotiated. By purchasing images in either print or digitally you are purchasing the right to the image, not the copyright and therefore have no rights to reproduce the image in or on any medium. You may not copy the photographs taken under this contract, or allow copies to be made photographically, electronically, or by any other means. This is a standard condition for professional photographers.

13. Postponement:

13.1 Should the cancelled appointment turn out to be a postponement, then, subject to Michelle Morris Photography’s availability, all monies paid may be applied to the new appointment.
