PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS

When capturing your project for your portfolio, it’s essential to plan meticulously to produce a series of images that effectively convey your intended message and accurately represent both your project and brand in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

We will engage in a comprehensive discussion about the project's purpose and how individuals interact with the space.

After thoroughly exploring and understanding the project, we will develop our shot list together. This is a collaborative effort where we exchange ideas, and I share my perspective on your project as I perceive it through the camera. We'll also take into account the time of day and how lighting will vary for each shot. Once we finalize our planning, we will have a detailed shot list that includes the ideal times for each photo we intend to capture, and I’ll get started on the shooting. It’s going to be an exciting experience!

ARCHITECTURE & INTERIORS PHOTOGRAPHY RATES

CREATIVE FEE

The Creative Fee encompasses the time and expertise necessary to complete the project, which includes pre-production activities such as meetings with the Client, preliminary site visits, specific site preparations, and the provision of all essential photographic equipment. This fee is quoted on a daily basis and typically results in 15-20 images that capture various lighting conditions throughout the day.

POST-PROCESSING

Following the photo-shoot, I undertake a thorough editing process to elevate the images to portfolio-quality standards. This process includes:

Manual blending and lighting adjustments, color correction, perspective enhancements, and selective contrast modifications. It's not unusual for the post-processing to take as much time as the actual shoot.

Additionally, post-processing involves the storage, backup, culling, digital delivery, and archiving of the final images from your session.

PHOTOGRAPHER’S ASSISTANT

Having experienced help on the day ensures a smoother workflow, enabling us to accomplish more in less time, ultimately resulting in better photographs. It’s a win-win for everyone.

STANDARD USE LICENSE

All final images will be accompanied by a standard boilerplate license for photo usage. This standard license typically meets the usage requirements of most clients, and additional usage licenses can be made available upon request.

COST SHARING = RATE DISCOUNTS

Cost sharing is a common approach in architectural photography. By adding just one more party to the shoot, you can save more than 30% on the overall cost of capturing your project. The savings increase with each additional participant involved in the photoshoot.

For example, if the estimated cost of a photoshoot is $5,000 and one additional party is included, the total cost would rise to $6,500 ($5,000 + 30%). This brings the cost per party down to $3,250, resulting in a savings of $1,750.

Typical parties that may seek access to the photos include: architects, interior designers, landscape architects, construction firms, subcontractors, materials vendors, furniture vendors, flooring and window suppliers, as well as owners and tenants.

Third-party usage is not permitted unless properly licensed.

EVERY PROJECT IS UNIQUE: Various factors can influence the price of your photoshoot. Therefore, each project is quoted individually based on its specific circumstances.
