| Digital Photography Overview The 5 components of an Estimate/Contract/Invoice are, Pre-Production, Photography, Processing, Licensing and Expenses. Using digital capture still requires a careful, rigorous approach to each project. You still have the same challenges on location, but with digital you get additional technical tools built right into the camera to compliment the inner creativity of the photographer that is so important to each project. Digital capture is not an easy fix for poor photography, it’s just an additional tool that saves time by not having to send film to a lab for processing and waiting for it to return to do edits. With digital, the photographer is now the post-production processor and output technician, so there’s more technical knowledge required to be productive in a digital workflow and with that knowledge and proper tools, the photographer is able to produce outstanding results for each client. Thanks to the wireless lighting that can be used with colored gels, clients who want a creative approach can have their assignment done with standard lighting and gels with minimal setup time. Prices for digital photography are negotiable depending on your scope of work. We enjoy developing lasting relationships with clients, so please call to discuss your project needs.
