I'll
travel almost anywhere for special projects
and
assignments.
I've been involved in many
photographic
projects, including
aerial,
commercial, real
estate, sports,
product photography and
internet
work.
I've also photographed a lot of pets, children
and adults.
Sometimes I do large pet photo shoots, usually
fundraisers,
and I enjoy doing artistic work.
We distribute a line of cards with my photos
on them,
t-shirts and Photo CD's.

Most of my
business is now commercial in nature and almost all of it comes through
this website.
This site consistently
averages 150,000 to 200,000 or more visitors each month from up to 139
countries and is still growing rapidly.
It's currently ranked in the top 100,000 of all sites by
www.ranking.com
I still do portraits occasionally by special
request. There
are many styles of
portrait photography.
I prefer a simple style that emphasizes the
personality and expression of the subject.
Portrait photography is challenging and you need to have a
personality that is upbeat, lively, and sensitive.
Time Rates
For each hour of photography
there is typically at least an hour of two of
post production work such as editing, cropping, and creating a CD or
DVD.
Rates listed include that production work.
Rates are
project based and negotiable, but a guideline is as follows:
Hour: $ 100,
minimum 2 hours
Day: $ 800 plus travel and expenses
Week: $ 2,000 plus travel and expenses
Many customers are unaware of what a photo shoot entails,
how long it will take,
and how much it will cost. A good photo shoot is well
planned so that everything is in order.
This means any models, props, apparel, products, lights, backgrounds,
and so on must be
ready and immediately available.
A simple
portrait session can be
done within a half hour, plus a half hour to review results.
Product photography, on the other
hand, is much more complicated.
For each product, it's usually best to take multiple shots.
Sometimes it's also wise to
have an appropriate set to create an atmosphere.
That's easy for small products,
but for large ones, such as vehicles or furniture, it can take
considerable preparation. |
