The $640,000 question! Honestly, every shoot is different so you'll get the most realistic quote directly from me - use my contact form and I'll usually get back to you the same day. Most events and headshot sessions start at £400 plus VAT, and small PR shoots from £500 plus VAT. If I'm over budget don't despair - it can be helpful to let me know in case I can make it work.

All quotes include a basic round of editing to correct for colour, tone, and exposure, and that's all most images need. If you need something extra just let me know and I can offer a price.

All quotes include a travel fee to and from your location. For most London shoots I'll use public transport if possible. If I need to drive or take a taxi the fee covers fares, parking, Congestion Charge, etc. Outside of London the fee is based on time and mileage, subject to additional expenses on the day.

For events there's usually around 60-80 photos per hour of shooting, depending on guest numbers, venue size, schedule, etc. For PR commissions I'll provide enough edited photographs to meet the brief. For headshots just let me know what you need.

Every quote includes unlimited personal use, in-house use, credited editorial use, and organic PR use. Dedicated PR shoots usually add advertising licensing in all media. If you need anything else just ask.

As per UK copyright law I retain the copyright in my work, and clients are licensed to use the images however they need, so you only pay for what you need. Full buyout is available at a significant markup, but rarely needed.

Usually within 2-3 days, Monday to Friday. Sometimes it's the day after the shoot if I'm available to edit, but it's not guaranteed. You can add guaranteed same-day or next-day delivery of the full shoot as an extra, subject to availability. Usually it's charged as additional shoot time by the hour, plus the basic shoot/edit/license fees. If all you need is a few key images quickly and the rest later I can usually do that for you at no extra cost. Just let me know when you're booking so I can prep in advance.

I usually deliver edited, high-resolution JPG files, and generally don't provide the unedited raw files. If you need access to them for a project-driven purpose let me know and we can discuss the options available.

For new clients I'll send a booking page that includes a quote, a brief questionnaire, and a booking agreement we'll both sign. New clients booking more than 8 weeks in advance may also need to pay a non-refundable reservation fee upfront, deducted from the balance. For regular clients I can usually book you in manually once we've agreed the details by email. Payment is via bank transfer (BACS) and you'll receive a receipt by email. My payment terms are 30 days, after that I release the hounds.

I specialise in photography, and don't provide dedicated videography, photo booth, or on-site printing services. For booked clients I may be able to recommend some suitable videography and photo-booth services I've worked with.

However, you can order prints from your gallery, with a customised discount code for your event. For small events I also offer a simple 'vox pops' video service delivering uncut video clips of 1+1 or 1+2 on-the-spot interviews, either graded or LOG, for your own team to work up; I provide the camera and sound; you provide the interviewer and guests.

At least 95% of the time it'll be me - Owen! If I'm not available for your date when you get in touch then I work with a small group of excellent associate photographers who fill in for me with regular clients, or who I'm happy to recommend to new clients. You'll always know who you're booking.

I have an annual allowance for charities that have impacted my family directly, and beyond that I don't officially offer discounts. If the budget's especially tight and it's for a good cause please do let me know how much you're working with and I'll make the best offer I can.

This is handled on a case-by-case basis. For event cancellations specifically a reservation fee of 40% may be payable upon cancellation (if not paid already), plus up to 100% of the balance may be due depending on the specifics, especially the notice given.
