Aerial Professional Photography

• Please note that we have penalty surcharge clauses for this discipline, which are connected to the quality and stability of aircraft you expect the photographer and assistant to fly in and complete the shoot. These rates will be discussed once we have seen or know what type of aircraft is at our disposal.
• For example, if you require a photo shoot from a Robbie R44 or lesser aircraft, we will levy a fee of, 200% (Fee doubled during flight) for the photographer and assistant rates. If we are to fly out of a turbine powered helicopter example a Bell 206 the airtime rates will be levied 150%. Should we be in a Bell 407 or better, the rates remain normal at 100%.
• This is all based on safety and stability of the shoot platform. In a R44 we have to shoot at least two times the amount of images we would need to shoot in the Bell 206 then again you would have to shoot double the amount of images out of the Bell 206 that we would have to shoot out of the Bell 407 or larger aircraft due to platform stability.
• Another point to bear in mind is that a Bell 407 is twice the speed of a Robinson R44, so in actual fact we could do the same amount of flying in half the time, so when you consider that a R44 would be an hours work, it would be half an hour in a Bell 407, so in fact your charges would be almost the same.
• Another very important point to remember is, that in these small aircraft (R44) we are unable to have a company representative who is going to determine what final images they require for the project we are all working on. However in the larger aircraft the key people on the project are able to accompany and communicate with the photographer whilst the shoot is ongoing. This is a very important factor in getting it right the first time.
• The company (Sundowner Studio CC), its members, staff and agents are not responsible for images that do not comply in your mind to the brief that we’ve had to interpret, because your company is trying to save money and hires an aircraft that could not carry the company representative, in the form of your art director all relevant individual.
• Another important point to keep in the back your mind, is that designing campaigns based on a person’s perception of what it should look like from the air without actually having been in the air generally causes problems. And this is when it pays dividends to have the person who designed the campaign and is responsible for the final product in the aircraft so any last minute changes can be done without misunderstanding , assumptions and conjecture.
• Please bear in mind that our rates do not include the rental fee of the aircraft or pilot. The rental fees would still be invoiced to you directly. If you prefer that we do the aircraft booking on your behalf ,we levy a booking fee of 10%.
• All our fees are subject to negotiation based on the type of contract and its longevity, so drop us a line and let’s discuss your requirements.
• All images that are photographed from the aircraft will require a higher level of Photoshop work depending on a lot of variables, such as positioning of the sun in relation to scheduled flight time, minimum and maximum flight altitudes ,which our dependent on the area we are working over, prevailing weather conditions like clouds and the shadows they cause, dust storms, pollution, smoke from veld fires or industrial fires.
• This type of shoot needs to be carefully planned and executed well in advance, because if the conditions are unsuitable the pilot might cancel the flight. On the other hand the conditions are perfect at the airfield so we take off and fly from the relevant airfield, and on arrival over the target area that we need to photograph find that the conditions are unfavourable for photography the shoot would need to be cancelled we would need to return to the airfield. The cost of the flight still have to be paid for.
• We therefore request that a knowledgeable individual be placed on the ground at the target area, so when we are ready to take off and fly to that area they can give us feedback on the weather conditions.
• Aircraft bookings and weather patterns. This is a very important point and requires planning. You cannot book and aircraft in one or two days with flight clearance and flight planning. Planning for aerial shoots needs to be done at the least two weeks prior to expected flight time. We suggest that one or two alternative dates be pencilled in just in case the weather conditions change and ground the flight. I have seen severe weather conditions come out of nowhere, without warning and ruin shoots at the blink of an eye,
• I’m talking in a matter of hours. The type of weather that makes the pilot put the helicopter down anyway to avoid flying in those conditions. However these occurrences are rare.
• Never assume anything, always check first.

Albums & Books

Should you require a photo album or bound book of selected printed images, please chat to us, as we provide these services.

For those of you that have a fine art or maternity shoot in mind, we have a series of books that we print and bind in our offices so your privacy and anonymity will be intact and protected.

Framing

Having access to a top drawer framing business was only a logical step for us to take in order to offer a well rounded off product.

Due to the complexity of choices in framing for example, you have wood or plastic frames with a myriad of designs in each material time, not to mention all the different colour card combinations and sizes that you need to choose from.

We thought it germane not to provide any prices, but take your work with you to the showroom and let you choose what best suits your environment. The framing facility and showroom are only accessible during normal working hours.

So whether you are hiring us to do your framing only or you are a photographic customer using our framing facility, you won’t be disappointed.

Make-Up & Styling
Our basic contract artists rates are by quote only.

Make-Up Artist – Whatever Quality you Need	Half Day	By Quote
	Full Quote	By Quote

Should you require a hair stylist, please call us for a quote, due to the nature of this work costs will vary tremendously.

Notes

1. You would need to choose between the Recommended and Optional Make-up artist and the Recommended and Optional Stylist. The difference between recommended and optional, is that the recommended artists are already at the top of the trade and are recognized throughout the country, whilst at the optional choices are skilled people who are still building their reputation in the fashion industry of South Africa.
2. If you have your own Make-up Artist and Stylist, then that’s fine as well.
3. We do have access to Make-up artists and Fashion Stylists that are starting out, and they are generally a bit cheaper.
4. Should you require any service or product that does not appear in this section or pricing, please contact our office to verify whether we provide this service or product and request a quote if we do.
5. Please read our terms and conditions section.
6. Please use these prices as a guideline. Terms and conditions apply.
7. Remember, never assume anything, please ask!

These categories of photography cannot have pre-set prices based on the varying complexities involved in each genre, not to mention props, material and additional services. Of course you also have to take into consideration the individual requirements required by different companies and individuals that are involved in each assignment.

Please contact us for a quote, and please remember to provide an exact job requirement, including the desired results and the type of elicited response you wish your final images to achieve.

Based on this type of shoot, we concentrate on a select few images that have the quality to be printed and bounded in a book form or framed for hanging. (Ask Robert to show you examples)

Do you have a designer type home? Then this would be a perfect setting for this type of shoot, so bear that in mind. It might be germane that we visit and look at your home prior to this type of shoot. Usually these type homes have some amazing locations to shoot in.

Note

1. Please bear in mind that if we are doing a half or full nude session, we request that you wear no undergarments and only loose fitting tops and bottoms. This will eradicate all of the lines etched into your body by the elastic of your undergarments. These lines add time to the Photoshop editing which in turn elevates your bill.
2. For this type of shoot you will receive a disc of low res images, from which you will choose the agreed amount of images you want to have printed and framed or printed and bound in one of the beautiful books that we produce. The number of images you choose is directly related to the amount of work you wish to pay for.
3. All of the options available to you will be discussed at the pre-shoot meeting. At this meeting we will show you a vast range of images we have photographed already.
4. Please use these prices as a guideline. Terms and conditions apply.
5. Speculative Fine Art Shoot (To generate images for sale to our clients).
6. We will pay you 20% of the net value of the images we sell with you in them, as and when we sell the images.
7. We will only shoot models that we believe will generate an image of distinction.
8. We will meet before the shoot to determine whether the shoot will go ahead. You will need to email photos to us before we set the meeting.
9. Should you wish to have any images from the shoot we will charge you for the editing of the images you choose, and they are only for your personal use and not to be used for profit.
10. We will be the only source for prints of these images, this is not negotiable.
11. The Copyright for all the images from these shoots belongs to Sundowner Studio CC without question.
12. When we book this shoot, this is all we will be shooting. We will not do any other type of shoot during this time.
13. Our time, studio, lights and other equipment are free to you for half a day
14. Make-up artist: This is to be discussed at our pre shoot meeting, and is based on requirements and skill sets.
15. Remember, never assume anything, please ask!
16. Over time or the next hour. When we go 5-10 minutes into the next hour, it starts the next billable hour.

We have been used by calendar companies magazines and book production houses to work in the wilds of Africa and cover a large range of photographic projects and assignments, ranging from professional hunting to anti poaching, nature conservation, translocation projects, and calendar photography.

We are still being used for this, even with the huge amounts of photographic library stock available.

The simple reason for this is that photographic stock libraries cannot personalise or achieve specific results with your company in mind.

So should you require the services of an exceptionally experienced photographic unit please call us and set a meeting so we can discuss your requirements.

Some quick notes on the complexities of determining a fairly accurate estimate on this type of shoot.

1. Being as tricky as it is to determine an accurate estimate for this type of project, it is exceptionally important that every single requirement, such as time-line, date, expectation, end result and anything that is germane to the project be written down in order that the pre-shoot meeting has any resemblance of success.
2. There will be a number of pre-and post shoot meetings, so they need to be planned for.
3. A good estimate of time, would be that these projects usually run 90 days plus. So please start planning and talking to us well in advance of your scheduled due date.
