/ Services & rates

What it
costs

Starting rates published in the open. Every project is quoted properly after a conversation, but you should not have to book a call to find out the order of magnitude.

Rates exclude VAT and any third-party crew, studio hire or usage buy-outs, all of which are itemised at cost in your quote. Travel within the UK is included on full-day bookings.

/ Process

How a booking runs

  1. 01

    Conversation

    A call, no charge. What the images are for, where they'll run, who needs to sign them off, and when you actually need them.

  2. 02

    Treatment

    A written treatment with references, a shot map, crew, locations and a fixed quote. Nothing moves until you've approved it.

  3. 03

    Shoot

    Tethered on set with a live gallery, so selects happen in the room rather than three days later over email.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Retouched finals in every ratio you need, colour-matched across print and screen, with usage licensing already written down.

/ Questions

Before you ask

How far ahead should I book?

Editorial and campaign work usually lands three to six weeks out. Portraits and headshots can often be fitted inside a fortnight, and there is a standing cancellation list worth asking about.

Do you travel?

Regularly. The studio is split between London and Lagos, and travel within the UK is included on full-day bookings. Anything further is quoted at cost with no mark-up.

Who owns the images?

You get a written licence covering the placements we agreed, for the term we agreed. Copyright stays with the studio, which keeps your licence cheap. Buy-outs are available if you need them.

What happens if the weather turns?

Every outdoor shoot is quoted with a contingency date built in at no extra cost. Studio fallbacks are held where the schedule is tight.

Can we see images on the day?

Yes. Everything is shot tethered to a live gallery, so you can select, reject and re-shoot while the set is still standing.
