Commercial Photography Rates

This is a guide to our standard rates for professional photography services. These are guideline prices. Exact figures depend on many factors including how many images you want, how you want to use them and the nature of the images themselves.

We always provide clients with a full breakdown of our rates in a written quotation before beginning work and clearly explain the options available. If you require the services of a professional photographer or require a written quotation, please contact us. We aim to provide a service that fits your needs - we pride ourselves on not only supplying the photos but also the expertise you might need to get the best out of them.

Prices are valid as of March 2007 and are for guidance only. No VAT to pay.

Note: we have specific packages for weddings and stock / product photography.

Delivery Time
Photos are usually post-processed and available to clients within 48hrs.

Images can be sent via email, but for large numbers of high resolution photos sending a CDR through the post is the most practical solution and delivery time must be taken into account (usually an extra 1-2 days).
