Architectural Photography Day/Hourly Rates

I want to help make budgeting your photo shoot and marketing straightforward, so I include unlimited use of your photographs with every commercial architectural shoot. As for the shoot, I have two simple prices for photography: $1500 per day or $250 per hour.

Daily Rate: $1500/day

My base rate for photography is $1500 per day. What counts? I don’t count driving to the first site (if within 30 minutes of Sioux City), but any travel thereafter counts into the rate. I count a day as an 8-hour package. I know that sometimes you may have to break up a shoot–maybe 2 hours in the day and 6 hours at night.  That’s fine. We’ll just add it up to 8. After 8 hours, we’ll continue at the hourly rate. We’d be happy to provide an estimate and tour the property (when appropriate) free of charge.

Hourly Rate: $250/hour

I start my photography pricing at $250 per hour. As with my daily rate, I don’t count driving to the first site (unless the location is more than 30 minutes outside of Sioux City). (Travel thereafter counts as time spent shooting.) If the shoot adds up to 6, 7, or 8 hours in a single day, we’ll automatically drop the rate to the daily rate. Any consecutive work performed in a single day will be billed at $1500. Once the eighth hour of work in a single day has begun, an additional $250 will be billed and $250 will be billed upon the commencement of each hour thereafter.

Out of Town Photo Shoots

These will be looked at on a case by case basis depending on the time spent driving and shooting.  Please inquire with questions regarding your out of town shoot for custom quotes. Mileage will still apply.  Hourly rates for time spent on the road may also apply.
