Cost

When you hire Tim Boyd Photography, you are purchasing my photographic style, vision, experience and quality service.

The cost to hire Tim Boyd Photography is based on the three factors below:

Production fee
Usage fee
Expenses

After discussing your project with you, I will research and provide you with an estimate. After we agree on a price, a contract will be sent to you, along with the details of the project for your approval. Once approved, any changes must be approved in writing by Tim Boyd Photography and an authorized representative from your company. Additional charges may be applied for any extra photography or services. Following the shoot, you will be sent an invoice which will be payable 30 days net unless other payment arrangements are agreed upon in advance of the assignment.

As in any business, fees and contracts can be negotiated. Generally, however, the cost of my expenses for your project are fixed and not subject to negotiation.

When asked “what do you charge?”, my usual answer is “between a few dollars or more, and tens of thousands.” The range is great because no two jobs are the same and the costs to photograph any particular job vary a great deal. In general, a small business owner who only has a single subject to be photographed and only needs the photo for a short amount of time in a local market will pay a relatively small fee. This is contrasted with a large multinational corporation which may need many subjects photographed and will use the photos for a long time in a national ad campaign. The larger company will be expected to pay a proportionally higher fee for my service. In either case, the quality of of my photography will be the same and the service will be outstanding.

I have a separate fee structure for meeting and event photography which falls under the public relations photography category. The cost of wedding photography is set and I have another fee structure for this.
