Cost of professional photography

[Matblack]

Our MINI club is investigating the cost of some photos of members cars and recieved the following quote

Thank you for your email requesting a quote for photographing your members cars in our studio.

As you will have seen from the Downsmail we have a drive in studio, which will take a mini with ease. The studio has been designed to undertake this type of work, and we have even taken photographs of a 1950's Rolls Royce just recently.

It is a little bit difficult to give you an exact price for the shoot as I am not totally sure quite what your members are looking for from this shoot?

1. Normally if we are mainly photographing the exterior of the car (both as a whole and close-up) I would recommend about 3 hours time, this allows lighting to be setup for the shots and any background change to be made. This would normally cost £165.00 + vat (total including vat £193.87).

2. If a client requires both the exterior and interior of a car photographed we would normally recommend about 4 hours, which would normally cost £ 210.00 + vat (total including vat £ 246.75).

As you are looking to book in a possible 10 or more members cars, we will need to do this over a couple of days (Maybe across a weekend - there will be no extra charge for working on Sunday for this group booking) and we will offer the following package to your members:

1. Each member will be allocated 1.5 hours studio time for exterior and a few interior photographs per car
2. A selection of photographs will be taken of the member and their car
3. A link to the website containing each car will be sent to you to pass on to all members
4. A CD-ROM will be supplied to each member containing all their images (low resolution files for viewing on screen only)
5. Your members will receive a 10% discount on all prints ordered after the shoot

The cost per member will be £80.00 including vat (Not including any prints) which is payable by your member on the day.

I hope that this helps you, and should you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly.
Kind regards

Now my understanding is that that the cost of prints won't be included in that, the guy who got the quote is going to speak to them about prints but how much would one expect to pay?

If one of you Pro/ Pro-ams want a crack at the contract that might also be a possibility
