Additional Fees
Studio and Equipment Hire
I own a range of professional equipment including a Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR and PixaPro studio lighting, which is suitable for the vast majority of photography requests I receive. In a small number of situations, I might suggest hiring equipment if you require services that go beyond the capabilities of my equipment. This would always be discussed and agreed before we go ahead with a photography session.
I charge any equipment hiring costs (including insurance for hired equipment) at cost value, in addition to all other rates.
I can photograph small items for individuals at my home. Alternatively, we can discuss setting up my equipment in your studio or workspace, providing it is suitable and there is sufficient space for photography. If none of these options are possible, we can look at hiring a photography studio.
I charge any studio hiring costs at cost value, in addition to all other rates.
Post-Production Work
Some basic edits are included in my standard rates for photography (for example, colour correction and basic cropping).
More detailed work (including Photoshop cut-outs, retouching or repair work) is subject to an additional rate for post-production of £30 / hour.
Travel and Accommodation
There may be travel and accommodation fees to pay for jobs outside of Edinburgh, depending on the circumstances of each job, the distance and the time involved. Accommodation may need to be paid for up-front or booked separately by the client or commissioner.
Wherever possible, I travel by public transport. Any train, bus and taxi fares are charged at cost value.
If I am driving, I charge a flat rate for mileage of £0.50 / mile for all journeys more than a 15-mile radius from my home in Edinburgh.
Delivery Fees
Images via WeTransfer: free of charge
Images on DVD-R: £10 per disc
Images on USB flash drive: costs vary depending on storage capacity
First-class, signed for postage must also be covered for USB and DVD-R deliveries
