Frequently Asked Questions

  • All proofs will be posted to the respective show folder at www.juliannajones.shootproof.com within 24 hours of the show. At larger shows I will have booth staff sorting photos and proofs will be uploaded each evening so you can view them from the comfort of your trailer, or come say hi to us and view your photos right at the booth!

  • For your convenience, there is an online store on every horse show gallery where you can purchase prints or digitals. Payment options include credit/debit via PayPal or e-transfer. Alternatively, you can come see us at the show and pre-pay via cash or Square and select your images later.

  • This really comes down to two main reasons: first and foremost, until you buy your images and the final version ends up in your inbox, they are legally property of JJP - even if it’s you in the photo! Screenshotting and posting your proofs online, without explicit consent, is image theft. Of course, if you need to screenshot them to zoom in and check that you aren't making a crazy face or want to send them to your friends to help decide which one to buy, you go for it - I do it too!

    The second reason is because like the majority of other horse show photographers, I am not paid by show associations to come shoot their events. Image sales are the only income I get from most shows, and before I pay myself, taxes and business expenses like equipment, gallery hosting, software, travel, food, and staff wages are the first to come out of those earnings. When screenshots of watermarked proofs are posted instead of purchased images, it’s not free advertising, it’s a very direct loss of income. Aside from the cost involved, it’s hours upon hours that are spent shooting, culling, sorting by back number or rider, uploading, and editing images, just so we can continue to provide an excellent standard of service for exhibitors. I promise we are not all out here getting rich on shooting horse shows or trying to be mean or petty by asking you not to post watermarked proofs online - we shoot shows because we love it, and at the end of the day, we just want to be fairly compensated for our work too.

  • Social media digitals are intended for just that - social media! They are a smaller file size at a slightly lower resolution and will have a small, non-obstructive watermark on them. They’re perfect if you don’t plan on printing your photos on a large scale and just want something to post. High-resolution digitals are the full size file with no watermark and will retain their quality no matter what size they’re printed.

  • Yes, I can! This isn't always possible for every image, but most of the time I can straighten a tail, close a mouth, or do an ear or face swap from another image. Just make a note in the comments when you go to order your photos or message me before you order so I can make sure I can accommodate your request!
