FAQ
What's a revision session?
A revision session in the context of food photography is a meeting or communication where we review the initial edited images and discuss any changes or adjustments you'd like. This can include:
- Adjusting lighting or colour tones
- Cropping or resizing images
- Removing or retouching elements
- Enhancing specific details
The purpose is to ensure the final images meet your expectations and requirements. It allows you to provide feedback and request modifications before the final delivery.
