Rates

Models portfolio work and actors head shots:  $250  in our studio;  $350 for a location shoot.

This includes  1 sitting with multiple outfits.  The shoot will take approximately 2-3 hours plus makeup time.

This does not include the cost of a makeup artist or hair stylist. You should budget between $100 and 125 depending on which hair and makeup artist is booked.

All head shots and fashion work is done with a professional digital slr camera (5.6 mega pixel) for the highest quality images.  Since we use digital the turnaround time to see your pictures is very fast.

You receive a CD with your high resolution and low resolution  images and two touched up 8.5x11" (hard copy) prints. You can order more prints at additional cost ($15/print).  You get the advantage of having low res. images that you can immediately upload to a website with out any time consuming alteration by you.  We use Photo Shop and Nikon Capture to optimize the images for the web. We have found that both of those programs provide excellent quality web images.

Day of the shoot: You will bring at least 6 outfits to the location or to my studio.   Location shoots are at an outdoor urban or rural setting  Click on Shoot preparation for additional information on how to prepare for the shoot

Comp cards and head sheets

We also make comp cards in house.  This allows us to control the quality of the comp card and the time for production.  We can provide as few as 25 cards.  This will help you as a "leave behind" when you visit agents, photographers or art directors while looking for work.
