The fineprint.

०१ · PRIVACY

What the house keeps.

The enquiry form asks for six things: the occasion, the month, the city if you know it, the scale of the gathering, your name and a way to reach you. They are kept in one ledger, read by one concierge, and used for exactly one purpose, to write back. Nothing is sold, rented, pooled or passed to an advertiser; the house has no mailing list and wants none.

The site itself sets no advertising trackers. What little it measures, it measures in aggregate, enough to know the photographs load quickly, and nothing about you in particular. Write to concierge@mehfil.house and the house will read back everything it holds in your name, or strike it from the record within the week.

०२ · TERMS

What is promised.

These pages are a portfolio, not a contract. Dates, capacities, venues and counsel appear in good faith and are confirmed only in writing; the calendar moves, and the calendar wins. A commission begins when both parties sign the house agreement: scope, schedule, retainer and the terms of parting, on paper, before the first drawing leaves the atelier.

The house takes thirty-eight builds a year and declines the rest. A reply to an enquiry is the start of a conversation, not an acceptance of a date.

०३ · PHOTOGRAPHY

Whose images these are.

Every photograph on this site belongs to the house and to the photographers it commissions, and each is shown with the hosts’ consent. Several works are not shown at all, for the same reason. Nothing here may be reproduced or re-staged without written permission. Ask first. The house usually says yes to students, and almost never to vendors.
