My work is built around three connected areas: live event coverage, publication-ready portraits, and commercial brand imagery.

LIVE EVENTS

LIVE EVENT coverage starts at $2,500

Great event photography is about more than quick reflexes. It is about reading the room, understanding the pace of the event, and knowing where to be before the moment happens. That instinct comes from experience, and it is something I bring to every event I photograph.

I know how to move through a space without interrupting the flow. I am not stopping people in the middle of conversations or getting in the way during important moments. Whether it is a corporate panel, backstage prep, or a busy red carpet, I stay out of the way while capturing the coverage you need.

I also shoot with purpose. Before the event, I think about how the photos will be used, who they are for, and what they need to communicate. That way, the final images are not only strong, but useful, relevant, and ready to support your brand.

Portraits for publication

Publication Portraits starts at $1,800

I collaborate closely with the featured artist, management, and creative team to make sure every detail supports the right look and feel, from lighting and color to styling, props, and overall mood. The result is a portrait that not only looks strong, but feels true to the story you want to tell.

commercial branding

Commercial Branding starts at $3,000

I create commercial branding images for products, apparel, merchandise, artwork, and talent that are built to support real marketing campaigns.

Working closely with art directors and creative teams, I use mood boards, style guides, and brand direction to make sure the final images stay true to the company’s look and feel. From lighting and styling to props, composition, and environment, every element is shaped with the brand in mind.

I am also experienced in working with established intellectual property, creating imagery that feels fresh, polished, and campaign-ready while still honoring what makes the brand instantly recognizable.

Good photography is complicated enough.

Pricing doesn’t need to be.

Tell me what you’re planning. I’ll make the numbers make sense.

My starting rates are a pretty good guideline for most assignments, and many projects do land close to those numbers. Every job is a little different though, so the final quote depends on what you actually need.

Things like the length and scope of the shoot, location, final deliverables, turnaround time, and how the images will be used can all affect pricing. For example, If you have a multiple day event, the price will be adjusted accordingly. Some assignments may also require additional crew, such as a photo assistant, or Digi-Tech, permits, travel, location fees, or maybe additional insurance requirements.

If you need same-day selects, extensive retouching, a larger final image library, or broader commercial usage, I’ll factor that into the quote as well.

I try to keep all of this straightforward. Once I understand what you’re planning, I’ll put together a clear proposal so you know what’s included and what it will cost before the shoot.
