  • All photos taken at public events are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND).
  • This means you can use and share my photos freely, as long as you:
    • Credit me as the photographer (“Photo by blumlaut”).
    • Do not use the photos for commercial purposes.
    • Do not edit or modify the photos, cropping is OK for Avatar use.
  • If you need a custom license or a watermark-free version, please contact me via email or Telegram for further discussion.

Private Photoshoots

  • Photoshoots are delivered privately to the subject.
  • The subject receives a full, non-revocable, and non-expiring license to use their photos freely.
  • This license does not extend to third parties unless explicitly agreed upon.

3. Photoshoot Appointments

  • Clients must arrive on time and be fully prepared at the scheduled time.
  • If a photoshoot has been booked for a specific timeframe, then only that timeframe will be used for photography, the client must ensure they are ready and on-time for the shoot, any time where no pictures are taken are billed as normal.
  • If you need to reschedule, please inform me at least 48 hours in advance, i may reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee (including costs for any special equipment) based on the financial or mental burden caused by the cancellation.

3.1. Photoshoot Pricing

There are 2 pricing options when booking my photography services:

Hourly Rate. 100€ / hour flat rate.

  • Predictable cost, and potentially more photos.
  • Higher cost for long sessions, and less control over the photo count.

Photo-Based. 15€ / edited photo.

  • Cost-effective for shoots under 30 minutes, flexible time frame, predictable photo count.

  • Potentially higher per-photo cost, and the photo count has to be estimated upfront.

  • When picking Photo-Based Pricing, any photos which haven’t been delivered (due to a lack of time or quality) will be refunded.

  • Additionally, I charge a 35c/km travel fee when travel is further than 15km by automobile, this does not apply for conventions or other events which I’m attending regardless already.

4. Cancellation & Rescheduling

  • I reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a photoshoot at any time.
  • If I cancel a shoot, a full refund will be issued.
  • If I reschedule a shoot, I will try to offer an alternative date that works for both of us.

5. Photo Editing & Delivery

  • Editing and post-processing take time. Final edited photos will be delivered within 3 months after the shoot.
  • No raw/unprocessed images will be provided.
  • If you require urgent processing, please contact me to discuss expedited editing options (additional fees may apply).

6. Liability & Responsibility

  • I try my best to deliver high-quality photos, but I am not responsible for unforeseen circumstances such as bad weather, venue restrictions, or personal dissatisfaction with the final images.
  • If you have specific requests, please discuss them with me before the shoot.
  • I am not liable for any loss or damage that may occur due to the use of my photographs.
