GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT EVENTS
› Photography coverage rates vary depending on the type of event, the length of coverage, and the travel distance.
› I typically work with one camera, several lenses, and a portable flash, primarily using natural light. This costs US$75 per hour. Some events also require a photo studio setup, complete with studio lights, modifiers, tripods, stands, cables, batteries, etc. This costs US$125 per hour.
› My minimum photography coverage time is 2 hours; you can add more hours of coverage on the same day. A full-day event (8 hours) will give you more photographs than a shorter event. For every hour of my work, I will deliver up to 30 photos.
› I am able to travel to any location. Travel expenses should be factored in, especially if the distance is significant. Simply define your dates, and I will confirm your reservation. › I typically work without limiting the number of photos I take, but I always deliver a selection of my best photos in digital files.
› I personally perform “Photo Editing” on all the photos I deliver. This editing involves changes to the entire image, such as cropping, adjusting exposure, sharpening, color correction, contrast, and saturation. This work is included in my hourly rate.
› Some jobs require the addition of “Photo Retouching.” These retouchings involve changes to specific areas within the image, such as: skin smoothing, removing blemishes, wrinkles, and imperfections, teeth whitening and hair retouching, removing reflections from glasses, enhancing facial features, and removing unwanted elements. This work is not included in my hourly rate and will be an additional work requested by the client.
› Some jobs require the addition of “Photo Montages.” These montages involve combining multiple photographs to create a new image, or processing multiple visual elements to achieve a new photographic effect. This work is not included in my hourly rate and will be an additional work requested by the client. These montages require several hours of additional work per image.
› The Client has the option to purchase Albums and Prints for an additional cost depending on the size, quantity, type of material, and framing. › Let me know your needs and you will receive a detailed estimate of my services, contact me at: tulio.sampayo@gmail.com
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Photos taken with natural light can flatter skin tones, while studio lighting can create dramatic effects. The choice between natural and studio lighting depends on the situation, style, and desired look.
Natural light flatters skin tones, is easy to use at home, and can be less overwhelming for children. I typically use a handheld flash to fill in shadows and balance exposure.
Studio lighting is great for creating precise lighting effects, such as dramatic shadows and soft highlights. Studio lights are not ideal for outdoor photography.
Yes, some photo shoots require more than one photographer. I can add more photographers to your service, or I can work with anyone the client requests. It’s normal for other people to have a camera or cell phone with them and to have the necessary authorization to take photos.
Everyone is welcome to take photos, but they may not use my equipment. You can hire other photographers who will work with their respective equipment.
No, but I can offer you an independent quote with a professional who will handle the video, or I can also work with whomever the client desires.
The photos you receive are your own. You can print, reproduce, copy, or enlarge as many photos as you like, wherever you want.
I can offer an additional service: printing your images with color management and correction, ensuring the quality of your photos. I have extensive experience in image printing, substrate and material selection, and framing. I can also create and print albums for you.
The equipment I normally use is my Nikon D850 camera with lenses (Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8, Tokina 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8, Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6, Vivitar 35mm f/1.4, Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4, Nikkor 55mm f/1.2, Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 and lenses of my own creation). I also use Nikon portable flashes and Alien Bees studio lights. The equipment I use depends on what the photographic coverage requires.
No, I’ll take care of my own stuff. I’ll probably ask for a safe place to store my equipment and help me get power from the walls.
I have the ability to travel wherever needed. Traveling is my other passion, and distance is no obstacle.
