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
service (for shooting in my studio) and 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
£100
5-10
add 20 each
10 or more
add £13 each
So one painting will be charged at £100 as will 4 paintings.
Five paintings will cost £120 and 11 will be £233.
All prices need VAT added at the prevailing rate, 17.5% from January
1st, 2010.
‘Drop
In’ days for single paintings
For those with low output or ‘just needing one done for now’,
I will run ‘Drop In’ days on the 3rd Monday of every
month provided there are enough takers.
You will need to phone to book a slot (07771 542220), but if you
have one painting, then the rate for that day will be £25 (instead of
£100) as I would hope to shoot for more than one artist on the day and
will only have to set up once. This
will in fact be delayed until January 19th as I have a clash and will
continue Feb 15th, March 15th, and so on.
Winter
Warmer
To produce even more of that warm feeling and ease the VAT
transition, I’m offering a 10% discount for January and February.
