Event Photography
I
photograph press conferences, news events, embassy receptions,
weddings etc. in the Washington, DC
area with high-resolution Nikon D200 digital cameras.
Images can be e-mailed or uploaded to any Internet
address -- within hours or even minutes of the "shoot" -- depending on the quantity and
resolution of the images and their processing time.
I offer the competitive rate of $100.00 per hour making images or $700.00 per
day. The client may be unaware of it, but for every hour of making
images there are usually one to two hours of adjustment, processing,
website creating and posting, and burning CDs or DVDs. The client
only pays for the time actually taking pictures.
Images can be made in either color or B&W, up to 3872 x 2592 pixels -- high
resolution (15.8 MB NEF RAW images/ 28.7 MB TIF images/ 4.8 MB JPG
images) -- or lower resolution (less than 1 MB JPGs) for commercial
printing. I recommend photographing in color and then converting to B&W
if the latter is desired.
After shooting and editing I usually place a client's images on a "hidden
website"
available only to those who have access to the page's Internet address.
If the client needs to use these images immediately, he or she
can rapidly view all of the images on the website, pick the desired
images, email or telephone me, and I can quickly send the chosen
image high resolution via e-mail or post it to a website for FTP
download.
When more time is available for processing,
I process and color-correct the images in Lightroom and Photoshop
and after posting the website I "burn" them onto a CD or
DVD so the images can be easily accessed and/or copied from any computer.
Such CDs or DVDs contain two or three folders of the identical images in different
formats and resolutions. One folder contains the original images
in RAW format. Another folder
contains medium-resolution JPEG images that can be printed by the client
at photo stores, such as
Ritz
or
MotoPhoto.
These images are also small enough to email, although usually only
one can be sent per email. The last folder is the website,
from which pictures may be reposted to the Internet as the whole site or
emailed - several in a single e-mail.
The output of a "shoot" includes a
temporary website and two CDs or DVDs gratis.
Client pays for taxi transportation. Extra
CDs/DVDs and prints can be ordered.
