As an introduction to our pricing:
Our standard commercial rates for planning, design, shooting in the studio and editing are R5000 per 8 hour day, plus costs of materials (e.g. paper backgrounds, paint, gels, theatrical smoke), model hire, clothing stylists fees, makeup artists fees and hair stylists fees.
Only edited Images are provided on CD to my clients for commercial use, while I retain the copyright to my images.
The above pricing provides unlimited images without the photographer's watermark on a time based rate.
For model portfolio shoots, we currently offer a significantly discounted rate, on the basis that we get high advertising coverage out of them. Unless otherwise negotiated and priced for, all images are for exclusive use in the model's portfolio (online or printed in comp cards and portfolio books) and each image is to clearly display the Peter Sealy-Fisher Photography copyright logo and web address www.psf.co.za. Where the shoot is brokered by an agency (including payment), the agency's logo may be included on the images used by the agency (e.g. agency comp cards or agency web site), provided the Peter Sealy-Fisher details are not interfered with.
NB. If images are to be submitted to agencies requiring unmarked images, please request a specific quote, as the discounted pricing below applies only to watermarked images.
We offer the following range of photographic services to models.
1 Hour "Test" shoot (60 minutes photography & changing time; 60 minutes editing time)
Models need to make their own makeup and hair arrangements, or makeup artist (MUA) fees will be additional, and will depend on the artist available for the shoot.
This includes one hour of studio time, including changing and image selection. Typically one or two outfits are feasible, including some head shots and a different lighting setup for some full length shots.
The shoot fee is R500, and the model pays pro rata per image ordered, starting at R100 per image (PSF watermark included). e.g. the shoot and 4 images work out to R900.
The images at this price are tone adjusted, and may be colour or monochrome, and include only minor retouching. The work involved in retouching skin and clothing is highly variable, and is charged at R500 per hour. We will gladly quote on retouching specific images after the shoot.
2 hour Portfolio Shoot (2 hours inlcuding changing time)
Models need to make their own makeup and hair arrangements, or makeup artist (MUA) fees will be additional, and will depend on the artist available for the shoot.
This covers 2 hours of studio time, including changing and image selection. Typically two or three outfits are feasible, including some head shots and a different lighting setup for some full length shots, with the possibility of more dramatic lighting for moody or figure shaping shots.
The model needs to provide suitable clothing for the shoot.

Full Portfolio Shoot (approx. 10-12 hours in front of the camera)
The most comprehensive is the full portfolio shoot, which comprises detailed planning of a range of styles that the model will benefit from in his/her book for a commercial portfolio, in order to really get ahead in their chosen field of modelling.
Within this, there are various degrees of complexity, but for the most part, the shoots are conducted over several days in my studio. A makeup artist and clothing stylist are included in the consultation and shoot.
Planning and styling consultations take 2 hours, makeup and shooting takes two full days, and editing of a selection of 20 top images takes another 10 hours at 1/2 hr / image.
One of the shooting days is in our studio, and the other may be on location. Portable studio lighting is used on location.
Clothing needs to be arranged and obtained by the model.
All images are signed and carry the photographer's copyright notice. They are provided in print (8x12") and on CD in printable high resolution (12Mpx) and 400x600px web sized formats.
Non signed versions for commercial purposes (other than model's portfolio) may be purchased separately, and are subject to a usage agreement.
Prices for full portfolio shoots from R12 000.
