A professional photo shoot is a great way to capture the highlights of your life, replenish your family album and have a lot of fun in the process. But you have to pay for the pleasure.
How much does a photo session cost?
The cost of a small hour-long photo session on average falls within the range from one and a half to three thousand rubles. Such shooting is carried out on a solid background, the model remains in one image. Based on the results of such a photo session, you can get up to thirty photographs in your hands, a small part of which will be professionally processed in a graphic editor.
A photo session for a portfolio will cost from three to seven thousand rubles. As part of such a photo session, at least ten shots should be obtained, showing the model from all sides. Typically, a portfolio kit includes several portraits, several full-length and seated photographs. If such shooting is done for an acting or modeling agency, the photographs are processed minimally. If a portfolio is created “for oneself” for some reason, the photographs are usually retouched. The duration of such a survey is about two hours.
If you have any creative idea, be sure to tell the photographer about it, so your collaboration will be much more successful.
A photo session in nature can cost from three to eight thousand rubles. It all depends on the duration of the walk, shooting conditions and the number of participants. The average duration of such an event is three hours, the average price is four thousand.
A complex studio photo shoot will cost five to ten thousand. This term usually refers to indoor or aqua photography. In large studios, you can find interesting backdrops and objects that the model can interact with. Such a photo session lasts up to four hours, during which the model can usually try on several images.
Why so much?
The prices for a photo session are formed by several factors. First of all, this is the work of a photographer. Moreover, we are talking about working in the studio and further work on the images, which always require processing, even if minimal.
Be sure to chat with the photographer before your photo shoot. Communication should be comfortable, this will allow you to feel more free in front of the camera.
Renting a studio is a significant part of the budget, especially if you need a studio with an unusual interior or technical equipment such as water sprinklers for unusual filming.
The work of a make-up artist (in some cases, a stylist and dresser) also requires payment. You should not skimp on his services, since the right makeup and hairstyle can literally transform a person. Makeup artist will make your face more expressive. In addition, many people feel more relaxed in front of the camera after applying makeup.
