I am not just a photographer but rather a painter of light. I do not take pictures, I create art and memories. Just as my work is unique for each client, each client has unique needs, for that reason I do not believe in setting one price for every person. When contacting me for my services I will tailor a package suitable to your needs and will give you a quote based on what you are commissioning me to do.
At times I will offer special mini sessions and those will be priced out at a flat rate based on what services are included.
I do offer digital negatives, however these are not free. Sometimes it is hard to understand why a photographer doesn't just include the negatives for free... but there are a couple reasons for that.
Firstly, each image is edited individually, I do not mass edit (batch edit), Each image is given special attention, editing can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 20 minutes depending on what I am trying to create. When you put that into perspective, in a 1 hour shoot I may have up wards of two hundred imaged to proof down and edit usually around 20-40 images. For a wedding the number of images goes up 10 times. That is a lot of time spent in post processing, and this can not be done all at one time...too long with the computer screen and your eyes start to play tricks on you!
Secondly, well the secondly is better explained by another photographer “I charge in the same way that a painter would charge for a one off portrait.” - Abi Campbell
