An NFT, or Non-Fungible Token, is a unique digital asset stored on the blockchain. For photographers, creating NFTs for their photos ensures proof of ownership, authenticity, and protection against unauthorized use or claims. This technology helps safeguard creative works and can enhance the value of original photographs.

By converting my photos into NFTs, I establish proof of ownership on the blockchain. This process helps protect my work against theft and ensures that I can verify my rights if someone attempts to claim my photos as their own. While I also create NFTs for client photos, these are not sold and are solely for ownership verification purposes. This approach has been crucial in safeguarding my work, especially after previous incidents where individuals attempted to sue me by falsely claiming ownership of my photos.

At the moment, I only offer NFTs and digital downloads of my work. However, I am exploring the possibility of offering physical prints in the future. Please stay tuned for updates on this service.

Client photos are handled with the utmost care and security. We use secure, encrypted storage solutions and create NFTs for proof of ownership without selling them. This ensures that your photos remain private and protected from unauthorized access or claims.

We use the Polygon POS chain, a layer 2 solution for Ethereum, to create our NFTs. This choice allows for lower gas fees while maintaining robust security. The images are uploaded and stored on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), ensuring decentralized and secure distribution.

Additionally, we use OpenDrive as a backup service to store images in the cloud. OpenDrive provides quick and easy end-to-end encrypted storage, adding an extra layer of security for your photos.

By using blockchain technology and creating NFTs for all photos, I ensure that there is indisputable proof of ownership. This helps in quickly resolving any disputes over photo ownership and protecting my work from unauthorized claims. If a dispute arises, the blockchain records serve as a verifiable source of truth.

Currently, I do not offer photography services worldwide. My photoshoots are exclusively available within the United Kingdom.

I kindly request that anyone present at the shoot who has not been hired by you or is not assisting me refrain from taking photos. This is to prevent any interference, such as getting in the way or causing issues with lighting, which could affect the quality of my photographs.

If the weather is unfavourable on the day of the shoot, we will need to reschedule. While this is an act of nature and beyond our control, please be aware that rescheduling may take weeks, months, or even up to a year due to availability. This rescheduling comes at no extra charge.
