F.A.Q.

  • To book your session just click this link and fill out the form with your request and the preference of the dates you would like to schedule your photo shoot.

    I will contact you back as soon as possible to arrange our photo session.

  • I’m ready to travel wherever you need me. I love to travel and I did it also for long periods (in last few years I have lived 6 months in Australia, 2 months in Tenerife, 3 months in Egypt, 4 months in Asia between Thailand, India and Vietnam). The distance is not a limit for me. To discuss travel pricing please get in touch.

  • My approach is documentary, which means I will never ask you to pose. I love capturing authentic and spontaneous moments, my focus is always on emotions, expressions and gestures. I don’t look for perfect pictures, I look for real pictures that can arouse emotions.

  • This is the worry of many parents, but I can assure you that during my photo sessions has never happened to have such problems. This is because thanks to my documentary approach, your children will always be free to play, move, run and explore. I will never ask them to stand still or look straight into the camera. I will be moving around them. I am very good with children, I can get in tune with even the most shy or introverted ones often to the great amazement of parents who at the end of the session tell me "We didn’t expect that!".

  • No worries, I speak English 🇬🇧.
    If you don’t speak English or Italian there are no problems.

    Traveling around the world I realized that sometimes speaking the same language is not necessary to live a beautiful experience. Somehow we’ll make it!

    All you need is to live your life authentically, and I’ll do the rest with my camera.

  • Of course, to book the photo shoot you only need to pay a 50% deposit. The remaining 50% can be paid later by the date of the session.

  • There is no right moment, there are moments and memories that we can choose to guard for tomorrow. Imagine yourself for a moment in the future: in 20 years when your children are grown, would you like to have pictures that tell the story of your family at this time of your life? If the answer is yes, I can’t wait to creat new memories for you.

  • The number varies from session to session.It is difficult to indicate a precise amount of final pictures because it depends on various factors. My goal is to tell your story regardless of the number of final files. What I can tell you is that I am very generous about this and the galleries I deliver never count less than 75 files.

  • After a long thinking, I chose not to set a limit on the number of files you can download from the gallery. Sometimes it happens that you only have 15 files included in the price of the photo shoot, and if you want to have more, you have to pay extra.

    It is a fair policy, which I myself have adopted in the past but which I have chosen to abandon. All my packages now include downloading the entire photo gallery because I believe a lot in the value of my photographic storytelling and I don’t want to limit your archive to a small number of images.

  • No. I know it’s an unpopular choice, but I prefer my shots to express authenticity, to show all the beauty of reality, the real one.

    The only alteration I make on the images (included in all my services) is the editing with professional color correction, which I apply to make the tones and colors of the photographs harmonious.

  • Usually a few days later I deliver a small preview with some pictures.

    The delivery of the complete gallery can take 4 to 12 weeks.

    I know, it seems a lot, but delivery depends on many factors including the creative nature of the work, the type of service and package chosen, the uniqueness of each session and the amount of work I have in that particular period.

    In any case I always do my best to deliver as soon as possible. I know your desire to see the final result!

  • Dear daddys, you can relax because I will never ask you to pose. All you have to do is play with your kids, I’ll take care of the rest.

  • It’s a widespread fear, but from my experience I assure you that once you break the ice you will feel comfortable, and we will spend time together relaxing and having fun.

    All you need is to be yourself 🙂

  • No age limit for your little ones. You won’t have to do anything more than you do during your everyday life.

  • Of course, the photo session can last as long as you wish.

    For more informations just email me at info@martinadepascali.com

  • Sure, I often photograph extended families. Write me all the details and the exact number of people and I will suggest you the right solution for your photo session.

    Photo shoots with 5+ people require more attention and more time to be able to photograph all without neglecting anyone.

    We will discuss all the details together.

  • The price of the photo shoot does not include:

    • TRAVEL (domestic or overseas): for travels longer than 40 km from Scorrano (where I live) the fee is 1€/Km for car travels. For travel by train or plane the fee is equivalent to the cost of the ticket + accommodation

    • PRINTS (albums, prints, photo box, canvas, etc): if you wish, I can provide you with all the information with the respective price list.

    • ALL KINDS OF PHOTO RETOUCHING: I love authenticity, I prefer not to use Photoshop.

  • The key thing is that you can feel completely comfortable with what you wear. It makes no difference to me. I love to focus on emotions and expressions, you are free to choose your outfit according to your personal taste and your personality. I would just avoid neon and flashy colors to have a better harmony of tones.
