Rates for Photography and Digital Services

Model Photography - Qualified Mondo Models receive all services FREE of charge and FREE portfolio. Others pay the prices below.

Photography - Generally $450 to $600/hour because each hour of photography typically involves 60 to 120 images. Many of these are discarded. Then the rest require sorting and roughly ten to 30 hours of professional digital processing depending on quantity shot. So essentially an hour of photography means 10 to 25 hours of work and these rates are thus not expensive;

Photography without digital processing - Rough estimate $75/hour with two hour minimum.

Digital Services - Roughly $45 to $60/hour if not with photography.

Wedding Photography -Contract rates start at $1,500 or preferably $2,500 and are detail negotiable. Terms: One third down payment two weeks in advance. One third on arrival of photographer. Final third upon completion of contract.

Commercial Contracts - All services are flat rate negotiable.

Prints - We do not provide prints unless it is a wedding or significant contract. Our printing is done by outside sources who we normally will refer you to. In most cases we will release the actual digital files on CD to the customer. Many photographers will not release digital images until they have made a lot of extra money selling you prints. We'd rather that you owned them once they are ready.

Turnaround time - Digital processing generally takes a few weeks if there are hundreds of images for one client. The priority and speed will also depend on the size of the contract and the order it occurred. We can stipulate to an exact deadline in writing.
Rates may vary according to overall demand, mileage, outdoor or indoor shooting conditions, type of photography and any other factors.
