Shotsense Photography Blog

Picture this! The costumes you ordered  to celebrate this coming Aidilfitri are almost ready and to some, had been ready since months ago… (ahah) and the preparation hours for the joyous day will be quite hectic to squeeze into the fasting month this coming August, and you had your last Hari Raya family portrait done in a studio for perhaps, many, many years ago. And now, the new bundle of joy had just arrived, the kids have grown quite a bit,
your growing family’s idea of a nice collection of  a NEW family album is somewhat… COOL!

Then it’s time you read further on what Shotsense has to offer!

When was the last time you spent less than $1,000 and you can bring home a canvas print? Nevermind, let us rephrase the question again…
When was the last time you spent less than $500 and you can bring home a canvas print?…….
When was the last time you spent less than $400 and you can bring home a canvas print?? Ahah! (yes.. I like saying ‘ahah’ a lot…)

We have a great PROMO to offer for the whole family for this Hari Raya and the price is an irresistible OFFER of only $250

Yes, you read that correctly. No frills. Just thrills!!… $250 because:

• Having a 12″ x 24″ (30cm x 61cm) panoramic canvas print of your selected photo is way cooler than 8R
• The canvas we are offering has no borders as its wrapped around, hence lighter than framed ones, no need to match with furniture and easy to hang!
• not only you’ll get a long lasting professionally manufactured canvas print, we also give up to 10 selected photographs to print in 4R (4×6) size
• not only you’ll get the canvas & the 10 x prints in 4R , you will also get the 10 images in softcopy so you can print them again or show them off on the web
• the 10 images is not necessarily the one selected for canvas printing means you’ll get 11 x post-processed, retouched to our style images
• 1 hour of photography is enough to snap over 50 shots (about there… but it’s definitely more than 30) to choose from
• indoor or outdoor is just a matter of preference…
• 7 pax max per photo session is awesome!
• we understand Hari Raya season is a day of giving and we, as family people ourselves, know the amount of commitment for the coming season
• we have much more to offer!

Yes! (again… ahah) we have much more to offer! Correct.

If you think 12″ x 24″ (30cm x 61cm) panoramic canvas print is not the size you want because you prefer non-panoramic,

You can choose to have a 16″ x 24″ (41cm x 61cm) canvas print instead for only $50 additional. Means, $300, you’ll get all of the above with the only difference being the canvas sizes.

This promo offers to all who are willing to have their photo session within Singapore mainland. If you want to go Mandai Zoo and have us shoot your outing for the whole family, go ahead! We’ll do it! As long as you can bring the 2 of us in, we are IN for the idea. If you want to go to Sentosa, Pulau Ubin, St John’s Island, Kusu Island, Lazarus Island, Jurong Island also we are in as long as you can bring us in!

By now, a question must be lingering in your mind. So is it going to be indoor? or outdoor? or both? The answer is: UP to Your discretion! :)

Indoors, you can have the luxury of your own home. YES! we come to your place! (so must prepare goreng pisang or jempot-jempot! hehe…) Your kids or elders might feel more comfortable at home. The ladies need not worry about make-up because it’s just a room and a mirror away? You don’t have to sweat it out under the sun or get wet in a sudden rain. But of course, the trouble of housekeeping before the session is advisable.

Outdoors?

We love shooting outdoors! But if it rains and not going according to plan, another plan will be as great! Ladies, don’t worry about make-up, Lis used to make-up some clowns in the circus but really, if you need assistance, we are more than willing to help out.

But really, it’s entirely up to you. And if you want to have BOTH, for example, at home session with Mum, Dad, Husband, Wife, 3 kids… and outdoors, the elders opted to give it a pass, yes these things can be arranged and we can always discuss and plan.

Another question will most probably be, if I have additional headcount which is of course more than 7?

If there is additional adult headcount which exceeds our guided no.7,  $50 per additional head only.
Do let us know your concerns and we can discuss in more detail.

How about this scenario? I am a husband and I would like to have our family photo taken with my wife, my wife’s single mother,
my parents, and my sister and husband. All in all 7 members but more than 3 family nucleus. Am I legible for the package?

Answer: YES!!! As long as it is not exceeding 7 heads, $250 or $300 package of your choice it will be.

Another question: If I want to have the photo session with our 2 or 3 sets of costumes will it be the same price?

Yes and No. (huh??)

Yes if you could change on time within the designated time alloted. But if you think the allocated time of 1 hour might be stretched, because you want to have more than 2 costume changes, you want to have an indoor and outdoor session,… we can always discuss and we will manage the best plan for your session according to your needs. Because your satisfaction is our achievement.

Somehow the questions keep coming: I want a different size for the canvas and more prints.

Why not? We have an ala carte selection of prints and designs… We can even design a custom Hari Raya card for you if you want. You name it, if we have it, you can have it!

Question on images in softcopy: What is the resolution that we will be getting for the 10 images in softcopy and in what format?

1280px x 960px… about there. Ready to print JPEG format up to 5×7 (5R) prints.

Why aren’t you giving us the hi-res images or even the ones shot in RAW?

We hold photographer copyrights of our images unless our clients pay a premium for the hi-res images. The Digital Negatives can be purchased according to the no of images you request for. Once you have made payment for the Digital Negatives, we will co-own the copyright to the images and you can do whatever you please with the photographs.

Are there going to be watermarks (shotsense logo or name) on our prints and softcopies?

If you want to, we will be more than pleased to put but normally, we don’t. :) so rest assured, we will be invisible on the images.
