F R E Q U E N T LY   A S K E D    Q U E S T I O N S

How can I contact you?

Fill out the Shoot Inquiry form at the bottom of this page! I'll respond within a business day. You can also contact me directly on email or text - yash.mangalick@columbia.edu / +1-612-310-8891. You'll get your photos within 10 days of your shoot.

Why should I hire you?

I offer professional photography at a fraction of the cost you'll find elsewhere with no hidden processing or delivery fees, and have a happiness guarantee for every client! I am hyper responsive and obsessive about end product quality. Shoots are fun, relaxed, and tailored to every client. They also do good: 25% of proceeds are donated to effective charity funds. 

When are you available?

I live year round in the beautiful Bay Area, but am often back in NYC or Minnesota, and will fly out for a good photographic opportunity. 

How do I pay?

Payment can be made on Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal anytime after the shoot.

What if I'm not a fan?

We can redo your shoot! And if not, or if you still don't like your photos, I've got a happiness guarantee: full refund, no questions asked.

Can I make my own package?

Reach out with what you need and we'll figure out something that will work for you or find someone who can help.

In addition to portraits, I have experience with event, fashion, and real estate shoots. Please reach out if you'd like quotes or samples of past work!

What equipment do you use?

I use Nikon cameras and prime lenses and Adobe Lightroom for file management and processing.

How do you process photos?

I select the best and correct exposure, grading colors, and cosmetic details. Processed photos are delivered in Pixieset galleries where they can be viewed and downloaded at your convenience.

How soon will I get my photos?

Your gallery will be ready within ten days. You will receive a partial or full refund if there are incidental delays.

Can you get professional prints for me?

I can get museum quality professional poster, canvas, or metal prints for you as desired. Ask for quotes.

Will I own the rights to my photos?

You always own all rights to your photos and can use them however you wish. 

Tagging and credits are appreciated, especially on Instagram.
