Pricing
I have structured my pricing to not only reflect the time skill and effort given to each images, but also to give maximum flexibility to my clients.
The tiered pricing rewards clients that purchase more at one time, thus benefiting my cashflow. However, as the images stay online for at least 12 months it still allows for single purchases spread over time, thereby helping your cashflow.
Studio Setup Fee
£100 + VAT
(£120 inc. VAT)
This fee secures the studio for your chosen day and covers the overhead costs, administration, travel, research and setup time involved in preparing the studio, or location, for your shoot.
Where there are additional locations or multiple shoots i.e. on separate days then this fee may increase. However this will be discussed and agreed at the consultation.
For returning customers this fee is reduced by £25 every session e.g. a client returning for a 3rd session only pays £50.

50+ Images
The reason for this is to discuss complexity, duration and delivery. As each image can take an hour (or more) to edit, there needs to be clear understanding of the timescales involved versus the urgency of need.
The greater the flexibility, on the part of the client, the greater flexibility I can offer on pricing.
Team/Group pricing
What if you have a team or multiple band members? No problem, the same pricing applies.
The only thing that needs to be considered is the size of the studio compared to the number of subjects. The more people, the more time it takes and the less variations may be possible. For ‘teams’ larger than 6 or 7 we may be restricted with how we can pose everyone, unless we work outside or locate a larger space (rental charges may apply). Of course we may be able to shoot everyone at your premises if you have an available space.
For Bands the limit may be the size of your instruments when set up.
Having said all that, I can always shoot smaller groups and combine the images together in post production to create a complete team.
These are all things that will be discussed and agreed during the consultation. My promise is that you will never have an unexpected cost.
Bespoke project pricing
There may be many circumstances where the above pricing structure is not the best approach.
The most obvious example is where your business not only needs to promote you, but also your products or premises. One example could be a Boutique Cafe or Restaurant. You want to project a trusting and welcoming image, as the owner as well as show your range of food and drinks. In addition you may want images that show your establishment, both inside and out, as comfortable and welcoming.
Being able to combine, portraits, products and premises into a single marketing package makes sense. I have extensive skills in all these areas, so I can offer a bespoke package price to cater for your, specific business needs.
These are all things that will be discussed and agreed during the consultation and planning meeting. My promise is that you will never have an unexpected cost.
