T&C and FAQ

How do I book?
Used to be strictly by referral.

Currently accepting only angels.

You are supposed to send me a private msg over facebook after adding me to your facebook account. I need to verify that yours is a genuine enquiry because I really prefer to take in bookings from people/friends who knows my work after they have gone through my portfolios. Quotations given are only valid for 1 month from date of enquiry. I reserve the right to reject any customers whom I can feel is unsuitable to engage my service and dishonest in the process of friendship verification.

Marketing Right
Niko Tay / Ting / A Nictay Production will hold the all rights of your photos and by engaging me, you give me permission / rights to post in all my sites include FB, to use your photos for printing of my own portfolio books or other promotion materials that might be implemented. I will resize the photos uploaded to smaller resolution but I can not guarantee the pictures will not be print screened and/or misused.

What if I do not want my photos to be posted online or for printing for your marketing fair use?
There will be a marketing right fee that you need to top up.

Choa Chu Kang - Do not expect a glamourous studio. It is not.
For outdoor shoots, we will still meet at CCK for Makeup and Styling.

Officially I have
1) Soul mates

5) Transformation (qualifying required)

This is flexible. You can design your own theme and let me know what you want. We can try to make it closest to your wish.

* Special Artistic render
Some who received artistic editing in their albums, it is a given and not sold. It is not in any of the package to make it compulsory that I make an artistic edit for your photoshoot.  Some of the backdrop/texture images are not my work.  Credits to the respective contributors in free / paid stock websites. If I used your image and you want me to delete it please email me at anictayproduction@gmail.com.)

Which days can you book?
I am accepting bookings for all days except Saturdays, however subjected to availability.

How long will you need to wait for my pictures to be ready?
I am doing everything myself, so with the normal queue, you should expect to wait at least 1-3 months for photos to be ready.

This is especially so because I am a stay at home mum and I need to look after my son as a priority.

Collection?
You will collect your edited soft copies with your 8gb thumbrive when your pictures are ready. Please come with appointment. Please collect your soft copies within 1 month of notification. Otherwise, I will not be liable for compensation should there be loss of files due to malfunction of the hardware.

What will you expect when you come for the shoot?
Nothing! Come with an open heart! Give me your trust and I will make sure you will be happy with what I will produce for you. :) Do not book if you have not heard or witnessed about my work. I discourage people who has very strong self scrutiny and expectations to book with me. Because a session with me is to discover another you whom you never knew!

2) Big Eye Contact Lens (if any)
