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 the photo shoots I use a Nikon Z8 camera with a 45.7 megapixel full frame sensor tethered to a laptop via Capture One. For lenses I use a Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 ED and a Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 ED. I edit my images on a BenQ monitor that is regularly calibrated with a spectrometer.

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.

TURNAROUND TIME AND IMAGE DELIVERY

  • The client has 15 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.
