Pricing

Budgeting for any event is always important for my clients.  My policy is to be upfront with my customers so they will be better able to plan for their photoshoot or event.  As I have a diverse range of genres that I provide services for, I provide the following price lists for your information:

Wedding Photoshoots - August 2024 price list Weddings

Full price list detailing all of my services - October 2024 price list.

For those of you who wish to pay for a larger photoshoot such as a wedding I have provided several categories of wedding collections (two hour, four hour, six hour and eight hour packages).  All collections come with wedding albums incorporated (2 and 4 hours collections do not include an album).   The client will be provided with digital files that equate to 5 sides of an album per hour.  This equates to 20 digital files per hour.  The client will be required to select their chose images.  These images will be subject to post processing to ensure high quality of these files.

High resolution digital files that form part of the album will be provided to the client for their own use provided this use does not infringe on copyright legislation or the client attempts to make financial gain from these images.

All of my photographs are taken in digital RAW format. This means that all images are subject to post processing by Mike Potts Photography.  Once processed they are then converted into JPEG format.  This mean the client obtains high resolution JPEG digital files that don't suffer from issues surrounding compressed file formats like JPEG if the image is converted in camera to the JPEG format.

RAW files require individual processing out of camera, this enabling the personalised touch without degrading the image.

All of my Post Shoot Processing, Retouching and Restoration work is done using, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC, this offering advanced editing capabilities for your personal or commercial images. 

Commercial v's Non-Commercial Image Use

The definition of commercial use in terms of purchases from me simply means that the purchaser will be using an image or digital file for financial gain. If you are intending to use any image for this purpose then a copyright use agreement must be signed. In addition to this, if the image is in the form of a digital file then the cost of purchase of a digital file is more than for non-commercial use. If your organisation wishes to purchase a digital file for non-commercial gain, for example developing a road safety poster, then the normal price for the digital files will apply.

Copyright

Photographic images are the copyright property of the photographer however I will discuss options with you. 

As the photographer I will still reserve the right to use any image for my portfolio however images will only be used in my portfolio after your advertisement is posted for public/consumer display.
