Short answer: I quote every event individually, and the quote reaches you within 24 hours. I charge by the hour of coverage, so you only pay for the hours you actually need. Below are the four things that set the price, what is always included, and how to get an accurate quote fast.
What sets the price of an event photographer
- Hours of coverage. A two-hour launch and a gala that runs all evening are not the same job. I bill the hours you need, not a fixed day rate.
- The team. For a large event I add a second photographer, so two moments can be covered at the same time.
- Video. If you also want video, I come with a videographer; it goes on the same quote.
- The licence. Internal use, press and social media: the scope is written in the quote, so you know exactly what you can publish.
What is always included
- Venue scouting, the day before or that morning, to plan for light and angles.
- Wide shots and portraits: room atmosphere, speakers, informal exchanges, staging details.
- A selection within 24 hours for your social channels, then the full gallery within a week.
- Two Profoto B10X Plus lights when the venue’s light isn’t enough.
- An invoice in your company’s name.
Why I don’t publish a fixed price
Two events of the same length can need very different coverage: one speaker on a stage, or several spaces, a VIP corner and a logo wall. A fixed price would either overcharge the first or under-cover the second. A quote within 24 hours is faster than comparing packages that don’t fit you.
How to get an accurate quote fast
Send me the date and venue, the run of the event, the number of guests, the key moments (speeches, a product reveal, awards), what the images are for (social media the next day, press, internal) and whether you want a second photographer or video. With that, the quote is back within 24 hours. The full list is in my checklist for briefing an event photographer.
