I need money for equipment and other expenses like bills and whatnot, yes, but I will not force you to pay if you come to me as an individual person who is unable to, or a model/make up artist looking at TFCD (trade free, CD) for portfolio building. I will never charge for a charity event.

 

As a rule, I try to go on a case by case basis when it comes to payment. My general rates are $100/hr for photos only. I will charge for photography coverage of up to 5 hours, with a charge of $50/hr after the 5th hour. Delivery of the photos will be on the day itself via Dropbox. Post processing comes at an additional $100, and delivery will take 7 working days via Skydrive/Dropbox. Pushing me for the edited photos will come at an additional $200 (e.g. if you want the edited photos any faster than 7 working days, you'd pay $300 instead). I regrettably do not provide printing services.

 

I am willing to negotiate if you say you are willing to pay me but don’t have sufficient funds to pay my rates, but bear in mind if you do ask me again when you have enough to pay my rates, I expect to be paid by my rates.

 

If you require a studio, I will book the studio but I expect to be refunded for the studio booking.

 

Payment should be done either by cash/cheque on the day of the shoot itself (only if you don’t use DBS) or by bank transfer if you use DBS. If you use DBS, I'd appreciate it if you to Whatsapp me a picture of the receipt at most 3 days after the shoot.

 

 

For privacy reasons, I’ll not give out my handphone number and bank account number unless you ask me for it personally.
