What fees are involved?

We charge a flat fee for each day we shoot. Consecutive shoot days are prorated according to their number. Any additional expenses such as travel, location scouting, stylists, models etc. are billed at cost and predetermined prior to shooting.

What say do I have in the images that are created?

We will help you define the types of images you need and the general content therein – a wish list. When we come out to shoot we can work alone or with a member of your team to fulfill this wish list and we generally shoot additional images based on inspiration of the location itself.

How many images do I get?

This depends on the complexity of the shoot and how many different areas and scenarios are to be covered in a given day. It will be defined prior to shooting and a typical shoot will result in 20 – 40 images per day.

How long does it take to get the images once they are shot?

It takes approximately 7-10 days from the completion of a shoot for your library to be created.

Do I need to install any special software?
