You have questions?
Below you'll find the questions I get asked most often. If you have a question that I do not answer here, feel free to reach out to me at aronshoudini@gmail.com and I will do my best to answer it quickly.
How Much do you charge?
It varies and depends on the job. Typically my flat rate fee is $200/hr. - With that said I have minimum fee's depending on the job. Other things also factor in such as do I need to travel, get a hotel room, feed myself. What kind of equipment do need I to bring and use. These are all deciding factors on my rate.
Do you travel?
Yes. I will travel to you, but most of the time this must be scheduled in advance. So it's best to reach out with as much notice as possible.
How fast do we get our pictures?
It really depends on how busy I am. Best case scenario you get the the next day. Worse case scenario you get them within two-weeks. Typically its within five days.
Do we get all our pictures?
Yes, you own them. Occasionally I will ask you for rights to showcase the photo(s) on my website or somewhere with my logo attached.
Can you photoshop things into our photos for us?
Most of the time yes. I also need to know this in advance so we can use a backdrop, background or scenery that will fit whatever it is you're wanting to be photoshopped in.
Do you have a crew or is it just you?
It's just me. Photography is tricky and I have trust issues. Plus it's cheaper this way, I promise.
Do you do Pro Bono work?
Yes, all the time. Usually I will ask for the rights of the photos to use in a portfolio or to post/sell them online.
Can I give you a list of specific shots we want?
Yes, of course. I work for you and I will do my best to make it happen.
Do you print the photos for me?
Yes, I can print photos for you. However, its so much cheaper for you to get them printed yourself. I have a list of websites and companies that will print all your images. I will even help you submit them.
How did you get into photography?
I've always loved taking pictures. Before our phones had such great cameras, I would buy the disposable cameras and take pictures at school of all my friends and family. In high school I was on the yearbook team and all I wanted to do was take pictures. In college I was the sports photographer for the University of Louisville's Cardinal Newspaper. Mostly it was just a hobby. Then when Covid happened I found myself behind the camera much more often.
