Photographic Sessions
Photographic sessions are priced at $180 per hour (minimum 3 hours). This includes initial editing and delivery of all successful images. Initial editing includes: exposure adjustment, sharpening, clarity, cropping, vignetting, colour correction, lens corrections and noise reduction. This also includes an unrestricted reproduction licence for all images and two copies of the digital image master files (a high resolution version for printing and an optimised version for use online). Please note retouched or finished digital image files from photographic sessions can be purchased separately (see below). Retouching or Finishing of Images
Retouched or finished digital Image files can be purchased independently from shoot sessions and packages. We offer two levels of retouching: Tier 1 retouched images are $30 per image and include blemish and spot removal, skin smoothing, eye enhancement, teeth whitening, lens correction, local colour adjustment and b&w or sepia conversion. This level of retouching is suitable for headshots and portraiture. Tier 2 retouched images are $60 per image and includes all retouching as per tier 1, plus extensive Photoshop work such as airbrushing and dodging and burning. This level of retouching is appropriate for magazine work, pinup, boudoir, and some instances of portraiture and model portfolio work. All retouching includes an unrestricted reproduction licence and two copies of the digital image master files (a high resolution version for printing and an optimised version for use online). Urgent Images Request
Editing is completed on a first come first serve basis. However, it is possible to request urgent finishing of a number of images when deadlines are required to be met. Non-retouched images can be fast-tracked at an additional cost of $10 per image and fast-tracked retouched images can be requested at an additional cost of $20 per image. This fee is in addition to quoted pricing (unless included in the initial quote) and does not increase the total of images that form part of the quote or package. Please note, the amount of images that can be fast-tracked will be dependent upon demand at the time of editing.Printing
