• 3. Budgets and Responsibilities

  Qompendium is a synergy project which functions as a platform by giving the participant the possibility to multiply its input. We do not carry any costs of production and have no budgets for expenses, e.g. travelling, models, material, post office costs, scans, retouches, etc. The photographer/artist is responsible for his shooting and all the necessities for the shooting/artwork, i.e. the photographer/artist is in charge of the models, the artists, the catering, etc. and the costs related to this.

  Qompendium is neither responsible for the fashion, clothing, styling, technical devices and styling props borrowed for the shooting nor for any damages or costs concerning the above mentioned objects, etc.
