How much will it cost?

Many factors come into play when determining the cost involved in doing a shoot. For every 1 hour of onsite photography there may be as much as 3 hours or more time needed in post production. Many photographers charge by the hour, as well as creative and photographic fees, all of which can be confusing and very expensive.

We tried to simplify the pricing structure as best  possible. In doing so we avoid many of  the add-on costs and will invoice a “standard job” on a price per finished pano. 
Exceptions to this standard include, but not limited to:

• additional interior lighting
• delayed entry into shoot location
• travel time beyond 30 miles
• hosting
• special post production and or publishing  needs

The client will be notified before hand if additional needs are required at an onsite shoot.

Normal costs:
Photographer Fee (PF): $75 hour
WAIVED ON STANDARD SHOOTS
This is the photographers base fee paying for his time and talent. Depending on the job the fee can be based hourly @ $75 hr. (1 hour minimum). We absorb drive times to site locations within the Greater Phoenix area. Outside this radius drive time applies one-way.

Post-production (PP) costs : $75 hour
WAIVED ON STANDARD SHOOTS
After the images are shot post production come next. This is the most time consuming portion of the project. It involves expertise and computer time for the  editing and assembly of each panoramic image as well as publishing in the proper format for the client. We adjust brightness, contrast, color balance, and retouch as needed.
