Your originals and your privacy
Your originals are handled with care, kept safe while in my possession and never discarded. Your photographs are private: they are used only to produce your scans and are never published or shared without your explicit permission.
If I come across images I’d love to feature in my portfolio or on social media, I may ask whether you’d be happy for me to show them. This is entirely optional. Saying no makes no difference to your service or price, and I will only ever use an image with your clear consent (an email or message is fine), which you can withdraw at any time. Apart from any images you have agreed I may keep for this purpose, your digital files are deleted from my computer after delivery, once you confirm you have received them.
