CREATIVE LICENSE POLICIES
Proofing gallery images are selected by the photographer based on lighting, composition, and expression. Not all images from the session will be included in the proofing gallery.

The client will choose their designated amount of images from the gallery which are then edited to the photographer’s standards. The client has the option to purchase additional images from their proofing gallery at a cost of $25-$30 each. The photographer will edit and deliver only those images chosen and paid for by the client. RAW or unedited images are not available for download or for purchase. Images are edited to remove minor blemishes, smooth the skin, correct colour and exposure, crop, and prepare for print and presentation. The photographer reserves the creative right to edit and release only those deemed creditable as professional quality and within the photographer’s artistic standards. Image standards are based on creative vision as well as technical standards (exposure, white balance, crop, etc) and not on personal appearance, the direction of the subject’s gaze, facial expression or mood. The Client agrees and understands that the type of work provided will be of similar style and caliber to the images shown on Photography by Oksana (www.byoksana.ca) website.
