Frequently Asked Questions

This area will help answer common questions that we receive from time to time. If you do not see a question that pertains to your needs, please review the services section, as we have tried to explain the services completely. If you still need help, please call us at (614) 519-4739 or email us at mattgoff@creativexposurept.com and we will be glad to help.

1. Who will be the photographer during my session?

During your 'personal touch' photo session, my wife Yvonne and myself will be the only people in the room with you and one guest of your choice. Our photo studio is located within our home separated from all other rooms and your privacy will always come first. We will try to accomodate your wishes at all times. Yvonne will help you with posing ideas and wardrobe placement while I'm adjusting the lighting and setting camera angles for the optimal exposure.

2. From the gallery on this site, I see nudity. Is nudity optional?

Nudity is always optional. We will never ask you to do anything that you may be uncomfortable with. This service is provided to individuals who want to be creative with their mind and body. Some models prefer to wear seductive undergarments or drape silky fabrics over certain body areas. And of course, some models love the freedom and excitment of nudity and the feeling of creating the highest form of self esteem.

3. How does a typical session work, what should I expect and what are your rates?

A typical session will last for 1-3 hours depending on many different factors such as wardrobe changes, posing styles, props used and resting periods. When you arrive at our home the first thing we will do is establish a level of comfort by explaining our service in detail, if you wish, and answering any questions. We will show you our comfortable studio and offer you different choices for the many types of coverage, lighting, posing and wardrobe options you have. If you don't already have your own ideas, thats OK. We will help you with turning a concept into reality.

During the image gathering process, Yvonne will help you with posing and creating a sense of confidence. I will listen to your wishes for lighting, and create mood and contrast by using angles, colors and shadows to help accentuate the features of your choice. Some customers like high key low contrast artistic prints, and others prefer the low light high contrast figure images. There really is no limit to being creative with the human body.

When the session has ended, we will explain the process of viewing your proofs. Within five days of your session, we will send the enhanced proofs to you VIA email. We will make changes and adjustments to the images for optimal results with artistic style. You may then request further enhancements and/or create an order from the gallery. After we receive the order and create the prints or CD, we will call to schedule delivery. Thats it! Very easy.

4. Why does Creative Xposure use the digital format instead of film?

The film format has always been the preferred method of photo development for as long as pictures have been taken. In recent years the digital camera industry has been making great strides in improving picture resolution and clarity. At this point in time, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the two formats. As a result, the flexibility of the digital equipment along with new conceptual photo techniques have now made the digital format more efficient and cost effective for the customer. Also, the chemicals required for film development are considered toxic and are very expensive.

5. How far will Creative Xposure travel?

We no longer provide our mobile service.

6. Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes. We will try to provide a timely service as soon as possible. Our lead times change constantly, but it usually doesn't take longer than a couple weeks to schedule a one of a kind session for you!

7. How long does a session usually take to complete?

We recommend allowing 2-3 hours to complete the photography session. Of course it could take longer, but during your appointment process, we will try to estimate the time needed, so you are better prepared.

8. How long will I wait for my prints?

Once the photography session is complete, we will create a personal online gallery for you to view and order prints within 3-5 days. Once you decide on the format and print selections, we will begin the printing process and the final fine art prints will be ready for pick-up or UPS shipping within another 3-5 days.

9. Can I order more prints later?

Of course you can! Just give us a call and we will resend the gallery to you. Once we receive your request for an order the prints are usually ready within 3-5 days. We will call you when they are ready for pick up, or we can ship them to your door. (postage not included in print pricing)

10. Can Creative Xposure enhance prints digitally?

Yes we can! Please see our gallery sections for samples of enhanced prints from gray negatives to high key adjustments, we have you covered. This service IS covered under our session fees, no extra charge!

12. Can Creative Xposure protect my images and privacy?

We will make every effort to protect a customers' images and privacy concerning any of our services. All photo shoots are recorded on CD ROM and filed with the customers' information. If a model release is signed for the discounts on prints, the images may be posted on our site, but the names and personal information will NEVER be posted. If you decline the model release, your images will be posted in a personal gallery protected by a password, so only you and the people you wish, can view and order them.

13. What are your hours of operation?

At this point in time, we are currently accepting appointments Sat-Sun starting at 11:00am. Please allow a 1-3 week lead time for appointment set-up.
