This beta version of FotoSets has limited functionality as follows:

-The website does not currently support phone screens. Most of the site will work fine on a phone but the order forms must be viewed and used on a desktop or tablet. We recommend using a desktop computer for the best experience.

-Do not use your browser's BACK button to navigate the order forms. Use the PREVIOUS button on the order form. Using the BACK button may cause you to lose the data you have already entered into the form.

-We plan to make shipping much easier in the future but for now it is up to the user to prepare and pay for shipping. Packaged can be shipped to FotoSets, 1355 NW Everett St. Suite 100, Portland OR 97209.

For users in the Portland area packages may be dropped off at the same address Mon-Fri 10am - 5pm. Drop off is located up the stairs at the front desk of Centrl Office.

Where do I get the images I ordered?

Your image galleries will always be accessible from your FotoSets account page so you can always return and download images later.

When will I get the images I ordered?

This depends on when we receive your package of products and props. We will let you know via email when your package has been received and your order will be placed into the shooting schedule. Your images will typically be ready in 2-3 business days and you will receive a link to your image gallery where you can purchase individual images.

What is a shotlist?

When you order images from FotoSets you specify how each image should be photographed. When you finish this process for each image you add it to your shot list. You can think if it as your shopping cart of images that you want.

We will shoot at least one image for each item on your shot list but chances are we will shoot a couple, or even several depending on the situation. You can then make your picks and purchase the ones you like best.

Will my images be retouched and color corrected?

All FotoSets images are the result of a photographic, retouching, and color correction process. We do light cleanup for dust and other distracting elements. We use industry standard color balance techniques to make sure that your products come out looking like they are supposed to.

Yes! Complex retouching requests are handled by our sister company K/POST Media. You can request a retouching estimate by contacting us directly.

Who processes payments for FotoSets?

All payments for FotoSets are handled securely by Stripe.

Should I use props in my images?

We highly recommend supplying your own props if you are looking to make your images unique to you and your brand. Props can provide brand context and generally make any product image stand out more.

If you are after standard product shots for a store or website you may not want any props interacting with the products. Either way all of the FotoSets are designed to look good with or without props. We got you covered.

What can I send to use as props?

We do not offer any complex prop styling such as, hand models, rigging, custom lighting, smoke/fog, liquid environments etc… Try achieving some of these effects with our custom background options. 

We try to honor all reasonable styling requests but if the requests are too complicated we may have to provide a custom quote for your images.
