Available for Photoshoots, Portraits, Birthdays, Weddings, Club Nights, Model Portfolios, DJ & Artist Portfolios.
Photoshoots can be shot in a studio, out on location or at one of our venues, its your choice.
Prices for photoshoots range from £150.00. He feels every shoot is different but a basic shoot should last no more than two hours. In this two hour period he should be able to take a varied range of shots that most clients will be happy with and can then use for self promotional purposes, such as portfolios, websites etc.
For this basic package you would recieve a disc of images from which you pick your best 10-20 to be edited for your portfolio. If you require additional printed copies this can be arranged, but this would accrue additional costs.
Martin feels many photographers that advertise free photoshoots should make clear that you will be asked to pay over the top for your images. Usually £30-70 per image. This is an area he as a photographer, would like to move away from. He believes you should know exactly how much you are going to pay before your photoshoot commences and therefore should be no confusion with regards to costs when payment is required. Under no circimstances will there be any hidden charges.
Bookings for photoshoots are usually taken 1-2 weeks prior to your photoshoot and a confirmation email will be sent to you.Payment will be taken on the day of which you have chosen to have the photoshoot. Your images should take no longer than 5 days to be completed and returned to you on disc. Any further images that you should wish to have would take roughly the same time again. Printouts and framed images may take longer.
Obviously, any photoshoots which would require longer bookings, different locations etc and are different to the basic shoot package as described above, would need to be negotiated and arranged through our agent, as availability and additional costing would need to be taken into consideration.
