This extends to the subjects being on time for the photoshoot and any other external circumstances not related or controlled by Duyu Photography that may disrupt the appointment time and duration of the shoot. The subject is the clients' responsibility to ensure the photoshoot runs smoothly on the day. If there is a disruption to the appointment by the client/subject then Duyu Photography will still reserve the allocated time and may extend the scheduled finish time to accommodate for the lost time by the client.
