- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
------------- IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!! ------------- Our minimum rate for projects START at $250. Anything lower than that will not be accepted - we cannot answer inquiries that have a total rate of lower than $250. PLEASE FIND YOUR PROJECT IN OUR PHOTOS/VIDEOS SECTION TO SEE THE MINIMUM PRICING LISTED IN THE JOB BEFORE CHECKING AVAILABILITY AND SENDING A INQUIRY. We have TWO pricing packages: 1. FLAT RATE PRICING - If your project is estimated to take more than 6 hours of work, you can ask for a FLAT RATE pricing for the entire project. 2. HOURLY PRICING - Small projects will start at $250 for the first hour. After that we increase by $100-200 / hr of work, depending on the nature of the work involved. WHEN MAKING HOURLY ESTIMATES, PLEASE NOTE THAT EACH HOUR'S WORTH OF WORK INVOLVES EDITING, DESIGNING, DIRECTING, ETC, NOT JUST PHOTOGRAPHY. For example, if a shoot takes an hour, and the editing takes 30 minutes, the charge will be for 1 hr and 30 mins of work. We can only respond to clients who are very certain of their pricing and requirements, so that we can book you immediately. ------------- IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!! -------------
