PRICING AND FEES
Professional Photography is an Investment in Success
Great photography imparts a sense of quality and value. Snappy George's fees are determined by a project’s scope, together with its complexity, usage, and timing. Fees are competitively positioned among similar services offered by other professional photographers.
Considerations when booking:
Depending on workload, bookings are normally scheduled one to three weeks in advance of a camera session.
Shared project invoicing is available for an additional fee.
Post-project shared image usage is available for an additional fee.
“Work-for-Hire” arrangements are available for an additional fee.
Assistants, backdrops, studio lighting, models, props, special equipment, staging, location fees, rentals, etc. are available and in most cases such costs are included in the quote.
Project dates are confirmed when the client has approved the Photo Agreement and paid the advance invoice.
Costs for regional travel are based on distance and drive time and are included in the quote.
Costs for travel greater than 300 miles round-trip are based on time and actual travel costs and are included in the quote.
Cancellation fees apply in accordance with the project’s Photo Agreement.
Turn-around varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. For routine photo projects, finished files are usually available within 48 hours of the camera session. Custom architectural and commercial photo projects may require more time.
Rush Service is available for an additional fee.
Unless otherwise specified, still image files are delivered as 300 pixel-per-inch high-resolution sRGB JPEG files in horizontal (landscape) orientation at a 4 x 6 aspect ratio. Video footage is delivered as 30 frames-per-second 1080p MP4 files in landscape orientation at a 9 x 16 aspect ratio.
Post-Processing involves adjusting the photographic properties of an image file. This includes color balance, tonal values, fine-tuning of verticals, cropping, and HDR (high dynamic range) or flash-ambient artistry to bring out highlight and shadow detail.
Editing goes beyond post-processing by altering the physical content of an image, such as eliminating debris, signage, utility poles, automobiles, people, animals, shadows, reflections, lens flare, electrical cables, electrical outlets and switches, wall or floor vents, etc. It may also include adding elements not in the original view, such as correcting landscaping flaws and other faults, adding flames to fireplaces, replacing skies, or making other creative changes to the image.
Except for aerial footage and interactive virtual tours, all work is performed with Nikon full-frame 35mm digital cameras of 45 megapixel sensor resolution mounted with professional grade Nikkor lenses.
Lighting solutions include: ambient, on-camera speed-lights, radio-controlled off-camera speed-lights, and radio-controlled portable studio strobes with appropriate modifiers such as soft-boxes and umbrellas.
