I always bring an assistant with me if possible. There are occasions when it is someone I know or it is very simple and I will come by myself. Like when I am taking photos of a car or a building. I charge $15 per hour for a photo shoot (with assistant) and $0 per hour without an assistant, with a $15 service fee and $0.50 per mile (total driving distance to and from) plus hotel costs if necessary. So if the shoot took an hour; was 30 miles away; required an assistant, the cost would be: $15 - one hour photo shoot $15 - service fee $30 - travel (30 miles x2 (there and back) x0.50 per mile) Total would be = $60.00 or the shoot took 30 minutes, was 10 miles away, did not require an assistant, the cost would be: $0 - 30 minute photo shoot (one hour charge minimum) no assistant $15 - service fee $10 - travel (10 miles x2 (there and back) x0.50 per mile Total would be = $25 or the shoot was 90 miles away took 3 hours, with assistant $45 - 3 hour photo shoot $15 - service fee $90 - travel (90 miles x2 (there and back) x0.50 per mile Total = $150.00 or the shoot is at my location, takes 2 hours with an assistant: $30 - 2 hour photo shoot $15 - service fee $0 - travel Total - $45 Photo shoots are a separate entity from the normal artwork process and charge. For the artwork I offer payments or bartering (see faqs) but for a photo shoot, I require full payment at the completion of the shoot and no bartering or payments. There are times when I will waive the service fee and driving fee, but if I have an assistant I will always require the $15 per hour at minimum. Most photo shoots take only an hour. Typically animal photos take an hour. Some multiple subjects or multiple item photo shoots can take longer. I will give you an estimate prior to the shoot.
