Commercial Photography Prices

We've put together some guideline prices and fees for our commercial photgraphy services to give you an indication of our commercial photography rates.

The exact figures depend on many factors, such as how many images you want and how you want to use them.

We always give clients a full breakdown of our rates and costs in our quotations and will clearly explain all the available options that might best fit your requirements.

Our aim is to provide a service that fits your needs. We supply digital images for commercial organisations and pride ourselves on not only supplying the photos, but any expertise you might need to get the very best out of them.

Commercial digital imaging services

We can provide digital photography services at an Hourly rate (minimum 1 hour)

  • 1st hour £90
  • Additional time £75 per hour or part thereof
  • Day Rate (8 hours) £510
  • Half day £270

Note: Minimum half day for photography services outside of Glasgow and South Lanarkshire.

Precise rates vary with the number of images required, and their anticipated usage.

We are always happy to quote an "All-inclusive price" which includes all charges for us to take, process and supply images for specific usage. The details on this page are for your guidance, since we don't like hidden costs ourselves, and don't see why you should either.

Expenses

Travel is charged on a mileage basis, except in the local (Glasgow) area where this is usually waived.

Accommodation and overseas travel is by special arrangement

Your photos...

We supply images in digital form on CDs. We will usually supply high resolution files in TIFF and JPEGs, other format files and other resolutions are no problem.

  • CD writing cost (per CD) £13 
  • CD based 'Web gallery' of all images (inc. CD) £21

We have a 'processing' charge that covers preparation of images after capture. This varies with the type of work (and quantity) undertaken, but usually between £15 and £130. As with all our prices we will quote this in advance.

Additional specialist image manipulation is by prior arrangement and depends on the type of work undertaken. It is charged on an hourly basis at £60 per hour or part thereof.

Prints of images are available to special order.

Photo Usage rights

This is where you license a specific image from our gallery collection for a particular use.

There are several different categories of image use such as:

  1. as a one-off in a leaflet, newsletter, press release or in-house magazine; and/or
  2. kept on file to appear several times in different publications; and/or
  3. over an annual or biennial cycle, including use in brochures, websites and exhibition stands.

The rates above reflect category 1 (single or limited use in the table below)
