Pricing & FAQs

Every shoot really is different, but most of my photography pricing starts at around £350 - £450 plus VAT. For a personal quote use my contact form and I'll usually get back to you within 24 hours. If I'm over budget but you love my work it can be helpful to let me know what you're limited to in case there's something we can do to make it fit.

All quotes include a basic round of editing to correct for colour, tone, and exposure, and that's all most images need. Headshots include professional retouching so it looks like you on a good day, avoiding heavy skin smoothing etc. Re-editing can be requested, typically charged as an extra depending on the details.

Yes, once I have the date and location a quote will include the travel to and from your location. For most London shoots it covers public transport costs. If I go by car or taxi it covers mileage, fares, parking, Congestion Charge, etc.

For most London event photography engagements I'll typically deliver around 60-80 photos per hour of shooting, depending on guest numbers, venue size, schedule, etc. For PR commissions I'll deliver at least enough edited photographs to meet the brief, and typically a few more on top. For headshots my standard package includes your choice of 2 edited headshots per person, and it's no problem to arrange a bespoke package depending 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.

Most London event photography shoots are delivered within 1-3 days, Monday to Friday. Often it's the day after the shoot if I'm available to edit, but please note another booking may come in for the next day so that's not guaranteed unless we book a priority editing slot. 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. Other shoots may take a little longer to deliver depending on the editing required, but the overwhelming majority of shoots are delivered within 5 working days.

First get in touch with the details and I'll send over a quote or estimate. When you're happy to book, for new clients I'll send a booking page that confirms the package and details, then we'll both sign a booking agreement. New clients booking more than 8 weeks in advance may also be asked to pay a non-refundable reservation fee upfront, deducted from the balance - this won't be a surprise, I'll let you know in the quote if it's required.

For returning clients I can usually book you in manually once we've agreed the details by email.

Payment is via bank transfer (BACS) within 30 days (or immediately where a deposit is required), and you'll receive a receipt by email.

I don't provide these professional services myself but for booked clients I'll be happy to introduce you to some recommended suppliers I've worked alongside.

However, I do offer a simple 'vox pops' video service delivering uncut video clips of 1+1 or 1+2 on-the-spot interviews, either graded in-camera or LOG format, for your own team to work up. Please let me know in advance if you need this so we discuss the details.

99% 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. Cancellation fees may be payable depending on the shoot and the notice given.
