Photography Rate

Everyone’s work is different, my rate is depending upon the type of work and time spent on photographing and editing. Below is a general idea on what to expect.  

You can contact me directly for an estimate. When inquiring about a quote, please tell me: the quantity,  approximate dimension of the work and a brief description of the material/medium. This helps me to estimate a more accurate quote for the job.

For all jobs I use a Nikon Z8 tethered to a computer screen via Capture One.

OBJECT PHOTOGRAPHY / CATALOGUING

This type of service includes photographing 2D (drawing, painting, photographs, framed prints etc.) or 3D (free standing sculptures, textile based work, jewelry, installations, etc). Each individual piece of art is photographed with professional studio strobe lights.

If a studio space is needed for the photoshoot, please contact me with the dimensions of your work to check the availability of my studio located in Midtown Sacramento. The client is responsible for transporting the work.

Artists / Curators / Collectors / Galleries:

  • Rate for 2D: $35 - $55 per image per work. (The final rate is determined by the size, medium and finish of the work)

  • Rate for 3D: $45 - $70 per image per work. (Photographing 3D work generally necessitates more time and attention to lighting in order to best accentuate the physical quality of the work)

  • Any additional image of the same work STARTS at $20 for 2D and $30 for 3D per image. 

  • Every image comes with a 6-8MB jpeg for viewing and tiff for printing up to 8”x12”.

  • A $50 fee is applied for any job less than $500 to cover equipment setup and admin costs.

ADDITIONAL FEES / FILE REQUIREMENTS

  • For any one way distance more than 20 miles I apply gas mileage  (70 cents in 2025) to my two way trip.

  • For customized image sizing/editing requirements there will be a 15% fee per image.

  • I do not provide RAW files to clients.


TURNAROUND TIME AND IMAGE DELIVERY

  • The client receives proofs in 5 business days. Proofs are the initial selection of the images with basic editing applied, they are for the client to finalize on the ones they would like to keep and are by no means the final images. 

  • The client has 30 days to respond/finalize the proofs. An invoice will be issued if no response is received from the client.

  • When full payment is received the client receives the final files with the watermark removed. This process usually takes between 1-2 business days.  

  • A rush fee of 10% - 15% of the job is applied for an urgent turnaround time. Please contact me prior to booking.

  • Clients receive their photos in a download link via Wetransfer that is available for 7 days. Download instruction will be provided.

  • Other questions please send me an email through my contact form here.
