What are your rates?
All commercial photography and videography projects are different, so my rates vary depending on the requirements, starting from £1200/day. I also offer half day rates for shorter projects. Depending on the scale, commercial photo shoots may be subject to additional editing fees, licensing fees, production, equipment rental, stylists, assistants and travel costs - get in touch with your brief and I will happily craft a quote and solution to fit your needs and budget.
Do you offer aerial photography and videography?
Aerial (drone) photography and videography projects all fit on a spectrum of complexity and while some projects can be achieved simply using myself and existing equipment, other projects may require extensive production and crew.
Do get in touch to discuss what you need and we can make a plan.
What equipment do you use?
Currently I use mirrorless Sony with G-master lenses with Rotolight and Profoto lighting systems. I own all my own kit but will occasionally hire specialist equipment as and when a project calls for it.
What are your reschedule/cancellation/payment terms?
Please ask for a copy of my Photography Services Agreement which has all that fully explained.
What are the deliverables?
Unless agreed otherwise, I will supply edited images as high resolution (min 300dpi) JPEGs. I don't usually supply RAW files and if I do this will normally be for an additional fee. I edit and retouch my own work unless we agree otherwise.
What about copyright and licensing?
In a nutshell, unless special circumstances call for it, the photographer retains copyright of the images and will issue the client a license to use their imagery in accordance for where and how the images will be used and for how long. In the vast majority of cases, owning the copyright to your images is not necessary nor worth the considerable financial buyout fee.

What insurance and/or professional memberships do you have?
I'm fully insured with public liability and professional indemnity insurance and am an Associate member of the Association of Photographers (AOP)
