Commissions & Pricing
Architectural & Commercial Photography Commissions
Thoughtful photography begins with understanding your project: the spaces, details and ideas you want to communicate.
I work with architects, interior designers, builders and other creative businesses to produce carefully composed, professionally finished photographs that give their work a lasting presence.
Choose the time your project needs
Half-day commission
From NZ$1,500
Up to 4 hours on location · 6 finished photographs
Full-day commission
From NZ$2,200
Up to 8 hours on location · 12 finished photographs
Both commissions include preparation and shoot planning, professional photography, standard editing and finishing, and a usage licence for one named business.
Final photographs are supplied as high-resolution JPEG files. TIFF delivery is available by agreement for larger reproduction requirements. Additional photographs, longer commissions and moving-image clips can be included in your quotation.
Working together
1. Discuss your project
We talk through your objectives, location, timing and intended use of the photographs.
2. Agree the details
You receive a clear quotation outlining the photography, finished images, usage rights and additional costs. A booking agreement confirms the arrangements before work begins. A 50% deposit secures the agreed booking.
3. Photograph and finish
I photograph your project, guide the final image selection and personally edit the agreed photographs for delivery. Where an advance site visit would help assess light, access or preparation, this is quoted separately as a half-day or full-day scout visit.
Images you can keep using
Your included licence gives your named business ongoing use of the agreed photographs for its website, portfolio, ordinary social media posts and unpaid project promotion, within the agreed scope and for the duration of copyright.
Paid advertising and sponsored posts are licensed separately, with 12-month, 24-month and perpetual options available within an agreed scope. Perpetual means for the duration of copyright. Your licence begins once full payment has been received and the final images have been delivered.
Sharing a commission
An architect, builder, landscaper or other project partner can share the cost of one commission. Photography is charged once, with a separate usage licence for each participating business. Each business is named in the agreement. Additional photography, editing and advertising rights are agreed in advance.
Clear costs from the beginning
Travel kilometres and time, accommodation, meals, equipment hire, additional editing and other project requirements are itemised where applicable.
Your quotation confirms the final price before booking. Additional images, travel, scouting and other project requirements are quoted separately.
All prices are in New Zealand dollars. No GST is charged.
Your photographs, carefully finished
You receive the agreed finished photographs and permission to use them as specified in your booking agreement. Under that agreement, I retain copyright for its legal duration.
RAW files, proofs and unselected photographs are not supplied. I personally handle all image alterations and retouching; please contact me whenever you need a crop, colour adjustment or other change.
Tell me about your project
Share a little about your project, its location and preferred timing, and I’ll prepare a quotation suited to your needs.
