The Photographer will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the Client's agreed-upon creative direction and requested shot list but cannot guarantee any specific photograph, pose, composition, or aesthetic result unless specifically agreed to in writing.

9. CLIENT REQUESTS & SHOT LIST

The Photographer is not responsible for poor photographic results caused by conditions that Client controls, including but not limited to damaged products, unavailable products, unprepared spaces, inadequate wardrobe, missing props, inaccurate information, or failure to obtain necessary permissions.

Upon full payment, Client receives a license to use the delivered final edited images for its own business and marketing purposes, including its website, organic social media, email marketing, promotional materials, and advertising, subject to any additional restrictions specifically agreed upon in writing.

Client may not sell, license, transfer, or sublicense the photographs to another business or third party without the Photographer's written permission.
