Quality Assurance
It is my responsibility to produce images consistent with my portfolio. I am confident and honest in my skills and abilities therefore I guarantee quality images that meet my current level of photography standards. Refunds and re-shoots are based on technical malfunctions only (equipment, storage, etc...) and not on creative differences.
