What people ask before booking JPX Studios: how far ahead to lock a date, how a quote is built, how many images land in the gallery, how fast, and what happens on the day itself. Anything not covered here, just ask.
Booking
We do not charge an hourly rate. We charge per project. Review our photography packages and deliverables, then send over the details of what you are planning. You will get a quote built around the actual scope.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for events, and longer during fashion week and the December run. Portrait sessions are more flexible and can often happen within the same week. Requests made at the last minute are worth asking about.
Yes. JPX Studios is based in New York City and available across the US, including the Hamptons, New Jersey, and anywhere the event takes us. Travel is quoted with the project.
Absolutely. We cover everything from presentations, interviews, event recaps and many more. Photo and video come from the same team on the same night, so you are not managing two vendors.
Absolutely. Studio product work on clean or black backgrounds, plus lifestyle and street context frames. Recent product campaigns include 8Ball Energy and Roses Forever.
Yes. Large activations, venues with multiple rooms, and stadium shows get a second shooter or a full team, plus a dedicated video operator when the event needs both. The coverage plan and the edit stay under one point of contact.
Product launch coverage follows the product from the clean setup to the guest experience. Before doors open, Jenya photographs product displays, packaging, signage, and the installation without a crowd. During the launch, coverage follows the agreed run of show: the reveal or ribbon cutting, founder and talent portraits, demonstrations, press moments, and guests trying the product. Share the products, people, and brand details that must appear so the shot list reflects your campaign. AKT London’s SoHo pop up and Sol de Janeiro’s opening at Macy’s Herald Square show this approach in practice.
Photography includes an edited digital gallery, with full resolution and web resolution downloads. The launch schedule provides 20 priority photographs within 24 hours and the full gallery within 72 hours. Video can be added through the same team as a sizzle reel or recap film. Tell us whether you need vertical clips, a horizontal film, interviews, or product demonstrations. The proposal sets the agreed formats, film lengths, edits, and delivery dates. Delivery the next morning is available by arrangement; video deadlines are confirmed separately for the requested scope.
Send the launch date, venue or neighborhood, access times, coverage hours, and whether you need photography, video, or both. Include the run of show, guest count, reveal time, press schedule, and any founder or talent availability. A product list, brand guidelines, required logo placements, and a short list of essential photographs help shape the coverage. Tell us where the content will appear and when it must be ready. Include any venue requirements or filming restrictions so these can be addressed before the event.
JPX Studios quotes each product launch by its production scope. View event photography rates and booking details. Coverage hours, venue access, the number of rooms or dates, crew size, photography and video deliverables, usage, and urgent editing requirements all affect the quote. A short press preview and a launch with founder portraits, a retail opening, and a recap film need different plans. Send your brief and available budget for a written proposal setting out the team, deliverables, usage, delivery schedule, and total fee. Review the scope and booking terms before confirming the date.
Tell us how you plan to use the photographs when requesting a quote. Press announcements, brand websites, organic social posts, paid advertising, retail presentations, and partner distribution can have different requirements. The proposal specifies the agreed usage alongside the deliverables. Share any agency, talent, partner, or publication requirements before booking so permissions and file needs can be discussed. If the campaign changes after delivery, check the agreed terms before extending the use.
JPX Studios quotes portrait and personal branding sessions by the project. View portrait session rates and deliverables, then share your intended use, preferred setting, and visual references for a session quote. Studio rental, hair and makeup, additional looks, travel, rush delivery, and expanded retouching are quoted when needed. The written proposal confirms the scope, deliverables, usage, delivery schedule, and total fee before booking.
Send your preferred date, whether you want studio or location portraits, and how the photographs will be used. Include visual references, wardrobe ideas, and any required crops or file sizes. A Pinterest board is a useful way to share looks you like before the session. Tell us if you need hair and makeup, additional looks, or photographs by a particular date so these can be considered in the quote.
Terms
If your venue requires a certificate of insurance, send us the venue’s requirements when you book the date. We arrange cover ahead of the shoot so the requirement does not delay or block your booking.
Tell us how you plan to use the images so we can agree on usage rights with your quote. We write the agreed use into the quote and scope it to what your project needs.
We hold your date once we agree on the quote. Any deposit and payment terms are set out in that quote, so you can review them before you agree.
We set out what happens if your date moves or your event is called off in the same agreement as your booking terms. Moving a date is treated differently from cancelling outright. Get in touch when your plans change so we can talk through the next steps.
The Shoot
Yes. I will guide you through the process step by step, from where to stand to what to do with your hands. Most people relax within the first few minutes once they see the back of the camera.
Create a Pinterest board of looks you like and send it over before the session. We will talk it through and pick outfits that work with the location and the light. Bring options.
A portrait session starts with planning around the intended use, location, wardrobe, references, and visual direction. Jenya guides posing and expression throughout the shoot. Afterward, you receive a selection gallery to choose the final photographs before retouching begins. Final crops and file sizes are prepared for the agreed web, social, editorial, or press use.
Yes. Portrait and personal branding sessions are available in studio or on location in New York City. The work includes portraits against a black studio background and editorial street portraits at golden hour. Share the style, location ideas, and intended use you have in mind so the setting and visual direction can be planned together. Studio rental and travel are quoted when needed.
Deliverables
A retouched portrait session delivers around 10 to 12 images. An event is a different scale: you get 80+ edited images, and more for coverage lasting a full day or spanning multiple rooms.
Selects sized for social within 48 hours, with full galleries typically delivered within two weeks, depending on scope. If the campaign is running live, a selected set can go out the same night.
Usually a recap film in the 60 to 90 second range, a shorter cut for paid placement, and vertical versions built for the feed. Interview footage, longer edits, and raw files are available on request.
A standard portrait session includes 10 to 12 fully retouched portraits in full resolution. You choose the final photographs from a selection gallery before retouching begins. Final crops and file sizes are prepared for the agreed use. Additional looks and expanded retouching can be quoted when needed.
The delivery schedule is confirmed in your written proposal. Tell us when you need the photographs and where they will be used before booking. Rush delivery can be quoted when needed. Review the agreed selection, retouching, and delivery stages before confirming the session.
Prints
Yes. Street and night frames from the New York archive are released as limited editions, signed, and printed on archival paper. Sizes and availability vary by image, so inquire through the contact page.
