FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies depending on the vision, needs and quantity of photos. The most modest prices I have can be a 1 hour/ 1 look/ 1 retouch. That could start at 100-200 depending on my availability. Some groups have gotten together and we worked out a deal like that. The shots that will be used for commercial, editorial or marketing would get more expensive and on a case by case basis.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to find out their vision, if any, and manage expectations and work with them to get exactly what they want. We work out a schedule that works with both of us and I require a deposit in case of last minute cancellations. I will then bring all my gear to them and we will make a shoot happen. I come prepared with a laptop and iPad so you can see the images as they pop up to make sure we are all on the same page creatively. Once done I upload all the images to have selects made by the client and then we retouch the amount of images we had negotiated. If more shots are requested to be retouched we can also handle that.
