Ranges between $600 and $1200 depending on length of coverage, location, make-up, wedding album, and number of processed high resolution images. Let me know what you need and well find a photo package to fit your budget.
For retouching additional and/or other photos my rate is $25 per image (removing blemishes, under eye circles, stray hairs, making colors pop, etc). Heavier retouching is priced at a per image basis. I ask for payment up front when i receive the images in order to put them in my work queue. If you’d like another photographer’s photo retouched, please be sure that you have his/her permission to do so.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
In terms of wardrobe – the basics are to avoid any tiny patterns (stripes, small plaids, etc) and to avoid any and all logos on clothing. If you’re using them for acting work, it’s good to provide a neutral canvas so that you don’t influence what “type” they think you are by the clothes (white, grey, black, beige t-shirts, generally)
It’s good to have your headshot look like you as you walk in the door (maybe the best version of yourself, though) – so wear something you wear and feel comfortable wearing. If you already know your type or are using the shots for a more personal reason – pick clothes that will make you look and feel the part you want to play.
WHERE DO WE SHOOT?
I like backgrounds of subjects to match the coloring and personality of each individual. I work with day light, studio light, and a mixture of the two. I’m currently based in Brooklyn, open to exploring the city, and I’m available to make housecalls.
If there’s a spot that strikes your fancy, we can shoot probably shoot there. For my aesthetic taste, basic white background studio shots have a way of looking uniformly impersonal. EVERYTHING about your shot should be about capturing your unique personality.
DO YOU OFFER HAIR AND MAKEUP?
For the most basic adjustments, I can and will be on the lookout to make you look your best. For an additional $50 on your session, I can bring a kit for make-up changes alongside your session. If you’d like to book a make-up artist, I know several talented people to bring to the session. Please note that they have an additional day rate that is due at the shoot.
HOW DO I PAY AND WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE?
Payment is due at the end of the session – when an event finishes and/or we are satisfied with the results from your session. You can pay by cash, or check, or credit card via Paypal to SKETCHARTISTS[at]GMAIL[dot]COM
CAN I RE-SCHEDULE?
Certainly – if you need to change the date and give more than 24 hours notice. PLEASE NOTE: SHOOTS CANCELLED OR RE-SCHEDULED WITH LESS THAN 24 HOURS NOTICE ARE SUBJECT TO A 25% KILL FEE (some weather exceptions).
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SHOOT?
Roughly 1-3 days after the shoot, I’ll send you the link to a private online gallery with all uncorrected images from the session. Have a look through and let me know your favorites. I’ll process some of my favorites, and narrow down selects. Full size images can be sent to you via FTP or available on a disc. If you’d like to license more images, there is a per image processing/re-touching fee.
DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
Discounts are currently only offered to repeat clients – just ask! I also occasionally take on charity and make-me-an-offer projects – drop me a line and hope your idea intrigues me!
