Faq’s

We’re a group of creatives specialising in portraits, headshots and Reels.

Our shoots take place in our lovely studios at Mare Street Studios, Hackney & Industry City, Brooklyn.

Package 1 is 1hr & Package 2 is 1.5hrs. Reels package is 1.5hrs.

With package one, 3 final edits & with the package two, 5 final edits, with Reels, one edited.

Absolutely – any extras photos are £30 each in UK and $50 each in US.

UK – Afraid not – we don’t give out unedited/raw images.

US – The unedited gallery can be purchased for $295. (t&c apply)

You will receive your gallery of photos within 24hrs (usually later the same day/evening)

Final edited images will be delivered within 14 days of us receiving your selection/payment for additional shots, if applicable. Fully edited REELS will be available within 72hours of your shoot.

Yep! We offer an express service for £40 ($60) where you will receive the images 2 working days after the payment is received.

 

Photos – We find from past experience having more than one person in the studio can be distracting. So they’re more than welcome to wait for you downstairs in the cafe.

Reels – sure, they can stand in for you to deliver lines – unfortunately, we’re not set up to record them. We’re also happy for you to bring your acting coach if required.

Yes – both in US & UK

Of course – in the cafe area when you arrive & also on each floor where the studios are.

If you have time to spare before your session or simply fancy a nibble afterwards, the wonderful cafe is open Mon-Friday. In our NYC studio at Industry City, there are over 40 restaurant’s, cafe’s and bars.

Within 24hrs of making your booking, we require a deposit via stripe payment. The remaining balance is then required 72hours before your shoot.

Please, don’t be! All our YB Team are actors themselves so they know just how you’re feeling – they’ve been there before and know exactly what is needed for a chilled, fun shoot.

This is totally up to you and how many final edits you’d like and how many looks you want to do. If you are wanting to multiple hair/make up changes, then we’d recommend Package 2 so you aren’t rushing. If you’re planning on shaving mid shoot definitely go for the premium – no one wants a rushed shave!

Absolutely – we offer a custom packages – contact us for pricing.

We only shoot indoors at our studios.

We do indeed. Whether you’re a comedian, casting director or want more of a corporate shot for your job/business – we’ve got you covered.

Definitely, at the start of each session you and your YB team member will have a good chat to make sure you’re both on the same page. Also throughout the session, they will show you what the photos/reels are looking like to make sure you’re happy. It helps if you bring references of shots you like from our website/instagram. Then we can work together to achieve those looks.

We advise to come to your shoot with your makeup and hair done, however with the wonderful, unpredictable weather we’re aware sometimes you may need to re-touch etc. Within the studios there are small changing room areas with a mirror for this. You can bring a make up artist with you, but please bear in mind, that our package shooting time, is for shooting so any make up will need to be done before the shoot and they can do touch ups throughout the session.

You can reschedule ONCE up to 72hours before your shoot without losing your deposit. Deposits are none-refundable. If you cancel within 72hours a new deposit will be required. If you cancel within 24hours of the shoot you will lose 50% of your total session fee. If you cancel on the day of your shoot, the full fee will be charged.

Our editors will apply the distinctive YellowBelly style, as showcased on our website and social media (which we hope is one of the reasons you chose YB). We will also strive to follow any specific instructions provided by our clients when submitting their preferences. If clients request a review of certain elements, we will re-edit them once at no additional cost. Further re-edit requests beyond this initial revision will incur a fee.

 

Reels – Please make sure this is done within the first 7 days after your shoot, as these are such large files, we’re unable to store the files any longer so won’t be able to amend.

Unfortunately, we’re not set up to record a second person. We’re happy for you to bring someone in to direct your monologue to or your acting coach if required.
