Common questions
Is a request on the site already a booking?
No. A request asks whether a date is free. I reply with availability and terms; the date is held once the deposit is paid.
What language can I write in?
Russian, Kyrgyz or English — whichever suits you.
Do you hand over the RAW files?
The frames in the gallery are there for selection. Handing over RAW files is agreed separately and is not included by default.
Do my photographs have to be published?
No. Publication in the portfolio is a separate consent and you can decline it. It does not affect the shoot.
Do you travel outside Bishkek?
Yes. Travel terms depend on distance and length — send the date and the location.
