Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, while we are based in Lancashire, we frequently work across the North West and travel nationwide for projects throughout the UK. Travel expenses are typically calculated from our studio and included clearly within your initial quote.

  • Absolutely. When capturing industrial and production environments, safety is our priority. We own our own high-visibility clothing, safety boots, and hard hats to ensure we comply with your site's health and safety regulations.

  • In line with standard UK commercial practice, Rifkin & Livesey retains the copyright, but we grant your business a usage licence. This licence allows you to use the imagery for your marketing, advertising, and social media purposes for a specified period (usually indefinitely), ensuring your brand is presented professionally.

  • For most commercial and advertising projects, we aim to deliver the final high-resolution files within 7 to 10 working days following the shoot. If you have an urgent deadline for a specific marketing campaign, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate a faster turnaround.

  • Yes, all our imagery is "considered". This means every photo undergoes a professional editing process to ensure colour accuracy, clarity, and a high-end finish suitable for advertising and marketing use. Complex "high-end" retouching for product photography can also be provided upon request.

  • We are very comfortable collaborating with creative agencies and marketing departments. We can work to a strict brief or "look book" to ensure the visuals we produce align perfectly with your broader brand strategy and campaign goals.
