What is a Raw Gallery?

Our RAW Galleries feature unedited photos selected straight from the camera—no cropping, color correction, or retouching applied. After logging in with your email, simply favorite or star the images you love. This helps us know which photos to edit and add to your final gallery for ordering.

How do I order?

After the show, we’ll upload the day's photos (internet permitting) to a gallery titled “show name-RAW.” Enter your email to access the gallery and star your favorite images. When you’re done reviewing, let us know by emailing hoshikenphotography@gmail.com or texting 989-251-8181 (please include your email address in the text). Once your selected photos are edited, we’ll send you a direct link to your gallery, where you can order digital downloads, prints, canvas, and more!

How soon will show photos be uploaded?

Upload times depend on show size and available internet connection. We aim to upload photos as quickly as possible, often by evening. You can "preregister" for an event by selecting the gallery with the show name and entering your email. This ensures you’ll get an automated email notification once the photos are ready.

How soon are personal galleries uploaded?

Upload times vary based on workload and the number of photos and edits needed. I aim to have smaller galleries ready within 24-48 hours and larger ones within 48-72 hours.

How soon will my prints be shipped?

Our prints are crafted by top-quality printers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Once approved, they typically ship within 24-48 hours. If any issues or delays arise, we’ll notify you by email.

I found the show I'm looking for, but why are there no photos?

If you see the show listed but no photos are available yet, it means they haven’t been uploaded. When prompted, enter your email to "preregister" for the gallery. Once the images are uploaded, you’ll receive an automatic email notification.

How long will the images be available online?

Galleries typically stay online for about 1-2 months, depending on our show schedule. If you miss ordering, don’t worry! We have all shows backed up and can reload a gallery for you. Just email hoshikenphotography@gmail.com with the show name and date you’re looking for, and we’ll reload it.
