Cost

The basic package deal would be $500 for 1 full day of shooting and 10 processed images that you get out of it. We would shoot a minimum of 150-200 photos, from which you would get to pick 10 and I'll get them processed. That’s all included in the package price.

If you'd like to shoot some short 5-15 second videos of yourself running - stuff you could loop on your site or use in social media (e.g. Instagram) - we could do that as well. In that case, substitute 1 video for 1 processed photo in your package of 10 processed images. The video would be 1920 by 1080 pixels in whichever format you'd prefer. Generally .mp4 or .mov (in h.264 codec) works well on the web.

If we shoot for 1 day and from the photos we shot you decide you'd like to get more of them processed, each additional photo or short video after the first 10 would be $25/each.

If we decide that the amount of locations we want to hit and the number of outfits to try would require 2 days to shoot, to second day would be an additional $200. This exists so we don’t try to squeeze in an unfeasible number of locations in a single day, but if we really want shoot in a bunch of places, we have that option available.

Generally, to do a single location move from Place A to Place B would kill 90-120 minutes of shooting time. It is in the best interest to find either one location that will give us everything we want, or two that are nearby. Shooting at Sunnyside Beach and then going to Woodbine Beach would take up nearly 2 hours to pack up, drive over (hit traffic), park, change and setup.

Having said that, once we agree on and lock down we want to shoot within the 1 day and if some unforeseen external factor messes up our schedule on the day of the shoot - that’s covered by the cost of the package. In that case we'd pick up what we planned to have shot but couldn’t and find a time that’s suitable to both and finish the shoot then. The timing of it would be something we agree upon if that happens.

The final aspect is the cost of an assistant. Depending on where we shoot and what compositions we’d be going for, we might need an extra set of hands - holding things, keeping an eye on stuff, running to the car, adding money to the parking mere, etc. I can get someone to do that for $100/day. But if you have a friend who’s willing to come out and be a helper, that’s the cost we wouldn’t need to endure.

The payment plan would be: 50% upfront as a non-refundable deposit, once we agree that we'd like to work together and what we'd be shooting and 50% on delivery of processed visuals. Method: cash, cheque or Interac e-transfers. You'd get a receipt and there will not be any HST charged on this.

Examples of my work

Here are a few example of what I’ve done in the past.

You can see more examples of my work on neontie.com under Visuals, albeit those are catered more towards landscape, architectural, travel and street life compositions.

The walkers of Death (Valley)

This salt pan used to be the bottom of Lake Manly. It’s all dried up now. Hence, while we’re currently living and breathing at 86m below sea level, some 10,000-12,000 years ago there would we would have been deep-water diving with 180m of water over our heads. However, I’m not sure how many of the people walking on this dried-up lake bed ponder that fact. But even if they do, I don’t know what those 2 people in far BG are thinking - jogging when it’s +50ºC (122ºF) outside.

Le mur des je t’aime in Montmartre, Paris

I Love You: The Wall was the initiative of Frédéric Baron, built on a surface of 4m by 10m, composed of 612 tiles. On those tiles are the words “I love you” written in over 250 different languages. It’s inside a small, romantic garden (Square Jehan Rictus) right next to the Abbesses metro stop and it’s totally free to the public.

Awed by the gods

As you stand in the centre and look up, you realize you’re at the bottom of a perfect sphere, with a giant oculus letting in all the light (as well as sometimes rain). It’s conjures a feeling that’s the dictionary definition of “awesome”. If you want to experience the cognitive dissonance of feeling tiny and insignificant, while feeling blown away by the achievement built by Homo sapiens about 2,000 years ago, visit the Pantheon. Above the entrance to the Pantheon, there’s an inscription: “M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT”, which is a short for: "M[arcus] Agrippa L[ucii] f[ilius] co[n]s[ul] tertium fecit”, which translates to "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made [this building] when consul for the third time.” There’s a bit of a problem with the “this building” part of that statement. For one, Barbarians, petty thieves and the Vatican have pillaged the insides for the gold and outside for the marble. So the “this building” is not exactly what Agrippa had intended. Furthermore, what’s standing there today wasn’t even what Agrippa had built on the site. In the aftermath of the Battle of Actium (31 BCE), Marcus Agrippa commissioned an impressive building complex on his own property between 29-19 BCE, which included the Baths of Agrippa, the Basilica of Neptune, and the Pantheon, the last being intended to be his private temple. And it was indeed built. It’s just that archaeological excavations have shown that the Pantheon of Agrippa had been completely destroyed except for the façade. And what’s there now was rebuilt on the same site - starting in 114CE, under Trajan and completed around 118–128 CE under Hadrian.
