Questions and answers
Everything you might want to know before booking a shoot, from practical details to how portfolio and commercial usage works.
It’s me, Fluffy Riot. I’m a furry otter and a puppy. Based in the North West of England, with a background in video production and IT that eventually led me back to photography. I’m here to capture your fun and energy, whether that’s portrait work, couples, packs, or solo sessions, NSFW or SFW.
I work with individuals, couples, groups and packs. I’m based between Manchester and Liverpool, around Warrington area, and I’m happy to shoot in my home studio, at your home or at outdoor locations. I cover portrait, full-body and lifestyle work, both SFW and NSFW.
I’m often at events around Manchester and the wider UK, including MancFurs, Kennel Klub, Club Animalz, Doggy Weekend, and Pawsome. If you want to meet up, check my calendar using the button in the bottom right corner,
Yes. I’m open to discussing business and creative collaborations, especially when they align with the community and the work I want to create. I’m also happy to support emerging businesses with promotional photography where it makes sense. Please submit business enquiries through the dedicated form on the bookings page.
Head to the bookings page and complete one of the forms there. I’ll follow up with you using your preferred contact method to finalise the details, timing and location.
Absolutely. I’m often around events and I’m happy to do shorter sessions if the timing works. Drop me a message through socials and I’ll let you know what’s possible.
Of course! If you’ve got questions or just want to talk through what a shoot involves before booking, message me directly on my socials and I’m happy to chat it through.
No deposit is required to book. My cancellation policy is flexible - I rely on people respecting my time and letting me know as early as possible if plans change.
Every event I attend is 18+, with the venue checking ID on the door. For my own shoots I follow the UK’s Challenge 25 approach - if you look younger or I have any doubt, I’ll ask for age verification through an app like Yoti or Post Office EasyID, or a physical ID.
Yes, absolutely - you’re welcome to bring someone with you for support, as long as they’re 18+ too.
This is a tip-based service - you’ll find suggested pricing on the pricing page, linked from the bookings page. I’m also happy to arrange barter options for creators and businesses.
No - pricing at events is usually around 10-20% cheaper than my standard rates, since I can shoot a higher volume of people in one place. The exact price for a specific event is confirmed directly in the booking form for that event.
Monzo.me and PayPal - those links are shared directly once we’re in touch, since they’re tied to my identity outside of photography. Cash works, and I also can accept GBP bank transfer, Ko-fi is always available too, though I use it less since the fees are higher. Other arrangements like crypto or international transfers in other currencies can be agreed directly.
No. The important thing is communicating the mood, setup and style you want to achieve. Shooting with minimal or even zero gear is possible if that’s what you’d like.
Sessions vary a lot. They can be as short as 30 minutes or stretch for several hours depending on the concept, outfit changes, location and energy level. I like to keep things relaxed and comfortable.
NSFW shoots are arranged around your own comfort level. My photography isn’t a sexual service, but rather a way to show your body in a safe and consensual environment. All kinks are welcome as long as they’re legal and won’t damage the photography equipment. Consent works both ways, and I reserve the right to decline any request.
Rain doesn’t usually stop a shoot - UK showers tend to pass quickly and I always carry an umbrella to protect the gear. We’ll talk it through before the booking, and if needed we can either wait it out on the day or reschedule for another one.
My main camera is a Canon R7, usually paired with a Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8, with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 as a secondary lens. For video I use a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Editing is done in Adobe Lightroom for photos and Adobe Premiere for video.
There’s no fixed turnaround time - it depends on my travel schedule and how many shoots are stacked close together - but I normally aim to get your edited gallery back to you within 48-72 hours.
Galleries are usually sent over as a ZIP file via Telegram. If you don’t use Telegram, I’ll send a OneDrive link instead, which stays live for 30 days. If you need a fresh link or archive after that, just ask and I’ll sort it.
You’ll receive edited high-resolution images, both watermarked and non-watermarked, and you’re free to use them for personal purposes. Commercial use requires written consent from me beforehand and may involve an additional donation.
It depends on whether the shoot is complimentary or tipped. Complimentary shoots help me build my portfolio, so those images are generally featured. Keeping your shoot private is one of the benefits of the paid session. If you'd rather not be featured, a tipped session lets you opt out and the images stay just with you.
Featured work can include a dedicated personal page on this website, portfolio use, and selected images shared on socials such as Instagram, Bluesky or Reddit. You can always ask for content to be removed later.
Sure - if I own the pictures from that event, reach out via my socials and I’ll remove them. Note that at some events the organizers own the pictures, in which case I may need to refer you to them instead.
