Package Descriptions

The Portrait
Description: Face only, head and shoulders, or full or partial body shot in a situation with costume or with props to help capture a sense of personality and life. Examples might include playing an instrument, reading a favourite book, being with your car, dressed up for a special occasion. The aim is to capture, or create, a sense of who you are, or who you would like to be.

Time: 1 to 2 hours

Price: £150

 

The Fantasy Portrait
Description: Like The Portrait, but with plenty of computer manipulation to create something no camera could capture. Whether you wish to have a new body, green skin or pointy ears. The only limit is your imagination.

Time: 1½ to 2 hours

Price: £175

 

The Professional Portrait
Description: Photographs of you in your work environment. Ideal for promotional and publicity material such as leaflets, brochures, websites, banners and press releases.

Because you get a CD of the images, you can reuse them as often as you like without incurring further charges.

Time: up to 2 hours

Price: £225

 

The Portrait Photography Experience
Description: Up to three hours of posing, playing, manipulating images and having fun. Singles, couples, families or groups (and not uncommonly, pets). I bring my laptop along so you can see the photos taken and direct me to straighten teeth, remove moles or turn your skin purple. The disc will include web-ready versions of the final images so you can email your friends and relatives or upload them to your own website, Facebook or other social networking sites, as well as high-resolution, printable versions.

Time: up to 3 hours

Price: £250

 

Emergency Photography
Description: suddenly find yourself needing to have professional images of your product emailed to a client by the end of the day? Your daughter is dressed up ready for her school prom night or graduation party and your camera is broken? For those last minute, unforeseen crises, give me a call and I'll do my best to help.

Time: up to 1 hour

Price: £95

 

Performance and Event Photography
As this depends entirely on the particular circumstances, such as where, when, how long etc. Prices will need to be worked out on an individual basis, but will be made clear in advance, with no hidden charges.

Preparations

To make the most of the time, it is worth having some thoughts about what kind of photo(s) you would like to have by the end of the session, what you are going to use them for, and who you are likely to share them with.

Things to consider:

Location - indoors or outdoors (not forgetting the weather), at home (which rooms?), work or public places.

Clothes - for example, formal, casual, uniform, fancy dress.

Props - instruments, books, models, hobby items, food, vehicles, hats, toys etc.

People - single, couples, family, friends, work colleagues, band members, fellow enthusiasts or any other combination you can think of.
