Photographing Paintings for Artists

I’ve shot for a fair few artists over the years, and have had to quote for each individually.  I am now shooting straight into the computer so as to be able to check results onscreen as shot, and if necessary correct colour individually while the painting is still available to view.  This sophisticated technique is not cheap and setting up for one painting is as costly as for 4 or 44. 

 While I am very happy to continue to give an entirely bespoke service according to need, I also want to be more open about charging and simplify the process.  I am therefore adding a simplified and standardised  structure of costing for artists which will be of benefit for those more prolific in their output, and with an option for those with one or two paintings only – often not worth it on their own.

 New charge structure :

 1-4 paintings                £120

 5-10                             add £24 each

 10 or more                  add £15 each

So one painting will be charged at £120 as will 4 paintings.  Five paintings will cost £144, 10 will be £264, and 11 will be £279.  All prices include VAT added at the prevailing rate, 20% in 2011.

Cheapest Option

If you or I can combine a number of artists with one or two pictures only, then I will happily shoot at the appropriate multi-image rate.

Drop-In Days

If interest is expressed I will try to run 'drop-in' days quarterly, designed for those with one or two paintings only, where I will dedicate a day to shooting art and whether you have one or 11 they will be no more than £25 each.
