Professional photography experience I provide in my studio is totally different than the one you have when having your passport photos taken. It requires lot of my time and involvement to ensure we get best possible results.
Let me tell you what goes into it:
BEFORE THE SESSION:
- Time to get to know you and ensure we are got fit for each other
- Booking you in – setting date and time, sending initial information
- Confirming your booking (upon payment of booking fee, rest is due at session time) and sending follow up, detailed info
- Follow up – exchanging ideas, discussing your outfits, help with choosing them, help to book make up/hair stylist, if required, deciding on backdrops and overall vibe of the session
- Make a detailed plan of our session together
- Setting up the studio
So before I even have you in my studio I spend 1-2 hours on “prep work”
DURING THE SESSION:
- I do take care of everything during your time in my studio: I will ensure to create nice relaxing atmosphere with background music, I will guide you throught all the poses, so you only need to show up and the rest will be done by me. Even if we working with only one look, I will use various posing, styling and lightening techniques to ensure that your gallery contains variaty of images to choose from
Usually sessions take minimum of 30 mins and depending the number of looks we will be working on, can easily go to 2 hours.
AFTER THE SESSION:
- Clean up of the studio
- Preselection of images: discarding all images cosidered “unusable”
- Upload of your gallery and sending detailed instructions
This takes between 1-2 hours of my timing, depending on the amount of images we took during our session
- Once you select your final images (I also offer help with selecting best looking images), I will start with editing (gallery gives option to add comments in regards to special editing requests)
- Editing of the images
- Preparing the files – high and low resolution, and also black and whites
- Delivery of the photos
This takes significant amount of my time as I am very particular with my edits and average editing time is 45 mins per photo.
So as you can see executing session from A to Z takes significant amount of time, session itself being “the shortest part”.
Let’s not forget about additional factors, which have influence on my current pricing structure. To name the few:
- Cost of running legal business in Qatar
- Maintanance of the equipment
- Purchasing new equipment to improve with each photoshoot
- Upgrading computer & storage solutions
- Software subscriptions (Lightroom, Photoshop, Website hosting, Booking system etc.)
- Constant training and education
I hope after this breakdown, you will be able to understand why I charge what I charge
