Here's a list of all the things you pay for when you're paying for your shoot:

(Of course, a few things vary depending on what exactly you require).

​

• £4000+ worth of gear:

- Canon 90D;

- Mavic Air Drone;

- Canon 1100D backup;

- 5 Lenses: Canon 10-18mm, 50mm F1.8, 24mm F2.8, 35-80mm, Sigma 70-300mm;

- Moza Aircross Gimbal;

- Various CPL and ND filters;

• Countless hours of learning and developing my photography/video/editing/graphics skills

• My time spent on the shoot

• Hours of editing time. Unlike many other photographers, I don't use presets, but I manually colour grade each photo in Photoshop, giving it that unique look. To speed things up, delivering the edits on time, I use the same settings and tweak them, on similar scene photos from the same shoot

• Time spent looking for the best value, suitable gear (which is actually many hours of research before buying something)

• Editing programs

• Transport, unless you cover it

• Camera car, if we're shooting rollers, and you don't use a friend's car

• For graphics, the time spent searching for suitable royalty free images and fonts

• Fees to run my website

• This is not a hobby, but a profession, so this is my way of earning my food and shelter.
