Investment & Considerations
Travel / Mileage
Travel is charged for any commercial shoot outstide of the immediate West Otago area, and our rates vary depending on the brief and the package that you are going with. Mileage is charged at $0.83c per kilometer, however for long distances, there may also be a travel time charged, additional to the mileage.
Setting Up & Packing Up
When selecting which commercial package best suits your needs, please note that our time on site setting up lighting and backdrops is factored into the timeframe that you are booking us for. The time is for the complete job. For straight forward lighting, say a white backdrop and light for individual portraits, allow 10mins setup + light testing, 5mins packup. For more complex lighting solutions we will need more time.
Images, Editing & Turnaround Times
Images are edited and returned to you in high resolution digital images, along with a web ready version. We do offer a background removal service for portraits taken against clean backdrops, which are returned as PNG files. Our turnaround time is typically within 72hours. If there is complex editing requested, we ask for 5-7days. For urgent/next day turnaround, please advise us at the time of booking. This may incur a surcharge if overtime is required to meet your deadline.
