Frequently asked questions

FAQs

If you’d like to know more, have a look at common questions I have already been asked. Your query may have already been answered.

Do you have a more unique query? I'd love to hear it. You can get in touch with me via WhatsApp or email: samriosphoto@gmail.com.

What if the weather looks bad?

Most of the time, the weather can work to our benefit. If it’s cloudy and overcast, it will make for a dramatic effect with more freedom on lighting. Light rain can also be playful in photos - think dancing in the rain or running for cover.

A heavier downpour can be problematic, rescheduling may be necessary.

What should I/we wear?

I like it best when people are at their most natural, choose colours that speak for you and your personality. But also consider the weather and the environment, to ensure you’re completely comfortable.

As a rule:
White or neutral colours work best for most situations, especially the beach. Avoid clothes with massive branding and busy colours as it can distract focus from the image. Although, you have more freedom with sportive photos, as the focus is more on action and movement.

How can I choose the best location?

Please give me as much details as you can about your photo day in the booking form. I can then suggest the perfect location. However, I can easily travel to your location too. For longer days and areas outside of the district of Viana do Castelo, additional costs may be necessary to cover accommodation and travel. Get in touch to disccuss more.

Do you service areas outside of northern Portugal?

Absolutely. Depending on distance and length of stay, additional costs may be necessary to cover accommodation and travel. Tell me your idea and we can easily work it out.

Do you speak Portuguese?

I am from England and I have fallen in love with Portugal and it’s culture. Even though I am learning Portuguese, it may not be enough for us to communicate, if English is not possible. I can happily source someone to translate for us, depending on availability.

What is the payment process?

€75 deposit will be required before any work can begin. Once you have chosen your preferred photos from your personal gallery (after day of photography), the remaining amount is to be paid before final editing and delivery of your photos.

I accept MB WAY or transfers through Wise, Monzo and PayPal. Proof of payments will be given.

How do I book a session?

For photography services, please review my packages here and then proceed with the booking form. I will get in touch shortly after to finalise.

Do you offer charity discounts?

If you are a charity with a mission for incredible change, I will happily offer you a discount for your cause. Please enquire here with the name of your charity, it’s details, and your requirements.
