Assignment and Product Photography

One of the exciting aspects of being a photographer is going on location for a client.  I've accepted assignments for many things, from snowmobiling trips and horseback trail rides for brochure work to air-to-air photography in both airplanes and helicopters.  I've photographed hot rod shows, hunting camps, jewelry, art work, paintings, class reunions, retail products, quilts, sled dogs, and even Harley-Davidsons - so if you  need high quality professional images of your products, call 1-559-909-5208.  I have a complete system of camera equipment and portable lighting equipment to shoot on-location.

Travel, props, models, assistants and other related expenses are in addition to the shooting fee per hour.

$100 per hour fee for in-studio photography
$125 per hour fee for on-location photography
$425 Half-Day Rate (on-location, 4 hours)
$850 Day Rate (on-location, 9 hours)

The minimum charge for a commercial shoot is one hour.

Stock Library Images and Submissions

It would be impossible to put tens-of-thousands of images online.  While my site offers a taste of my stock library, success depends upon selling images, and that means getting those images into your hands for review.  While a stock subjects list is available online, that doesn't take the place of sheets of slides on a light table or digital images on your computer screen.  With that in mind, my policy is to fill every request for an image submission immediately.  To receive a slide submission, just make the request on your company letterhead, include a contact name and phone number, and the narrow scope of your needs.  This can be mailed, e-mailed, or called in to my studio.  Upon a receipt a phone verification of the order will be made and the submission prepared.  Immediate requests for slides will be considered individually. 

The cost for image use will vary with the type of use.  Editorial type image uses (newspapers and magazines) are less expensive than Advertising image uses.  A description of uses is required to furnish you with an estimate.
 

Editorial Use

All Magazines have standard pay rates they use for commissioning the photographs needed in each issue.  These rates are the minimum acceptable commissions for use of my images for editorial uses.  Editorial reproduction is limited to one-time rights unless otherwise stated by agreement.
