What is the difference between digital and film?
Besides the base price.  Digital is best for images that are intended for internet or websites. Digital images can be immediately transferred to disk and you have the option of ordering prints (prints are not always available instantly).  Film is best for print ads or enlargements.



Is there a quality difference between digital and film?
The quality of these images are virtually the same in most regards.  However digital  images can not be enlarged beyan 11 x 14 in size, instantly. If you'd like a larger image film is recommended instead of digital.





How long does it take to receive my photo package?
Typically digital images are available instantly at the end of your photo session, but do allow 2 to 3 days for the CD and the prints to be ready for any retouching that need to be done. Other services including prints up to A0 size on paper or canvas please allow 1-2 weeks.



I'm nervous enough about having my picture taken; how will I feel if I'm in lingerie?
Many people can be, at least initially, uncomfortable in front of the camera; it's 100% normal. But my experience has shown that my professionalism will guide you through the process. Plus working in a familiar environment (rather than an unfamiliar studio) can help put you at ease.



Is my privacy and my photographs secure?
We maintain the security and privacy of all clients photographs. After shooting and viewing we remove all photographs from our computers. The photos are then stored in a safe location, where they cannot be accessed by anyone, apart from ourselves. Unless we are instructed by the client after he or she has received the images to destroy our copies, they will remain in our safe location for the period of two months then will be destroid. No clients photographs can be used by Top Gallery Studio without formal consent in the way of model release forms signed by the client.





Are the photography services for women only?
Yes, Top Gallery photography studio is designed and operating exclusively for women or joined male partners in a photo shoot, we do not except male clients or male cross-dressers.



What should I bring for my session?
That answer depends on your photo needs, We do provide glamorous wardrobe and the props, but you may bring along any clothing, props and outfits that you may want to include in the photo shoot. Also you could bring along some ideas and samples if you know exactly what you want or have a certain look in mind, even though we see it as our duty to come up with creative ideas and poses, your specific ideas are always welcome, The more ideas we have, the better the results, guaranteed! Also bring a few underwear sets of different colours or bikinis.



Can I bring a friend?
Of course you can bring a friend! Is important that to feel comfortable and safe whilst you are working with us so please feel free to bring a friend along for your own safety and support. We do not advise bringing boyfriends or male partners along as they do tend to come along for the 'wrong' reasons and this can become very uncomfortable for both the model and the photographer. However please feel free to bring any other male or female friend along bearing in mind that some degree of nudity may be involved.





Is the studio fully equipped, and does it offer props and wardrobe?
