Virtual Tour & Video

With both these services there is a great degree of freedom for the client as to what they want to include and how they want to have the project develop. As such it is more useful to have an initial discussion to find out what is required and then an estimated price can be given. Please feel free to contact us for a no-obligation discussion; even if your project is only at an early stage we can help you think about some of the possibilities.

Stills photography work

Price guidance is given below.

Small business photo package

Individual items (no groups) on a plain background, carefully staged with specific lighting, use of reflectors and individual camera angles. This service is designed for high quality images with some degree of individuality in each image.

This service is mail order (or you can bring your products to us, if local). After discussing your requirements, we will produce the images and post back your products with a CD of high-resolution images.

• 1 image £90
• 2 images £90
• 3 images £90
• 4 images £120
• 5 images £140
• 6 images £160
• 7 images £180

The postal service, either with the Small Business package, or the full commissioned service, provides a convenient way of supplying us with your products. Of course, not all products are suitable for posting, but those that are are sent by insured post will be returned in the same safe way (with your images). We only charge the actual postage cost and use your own packaging.

For extra images above 7 or for images with additional creative elements, more advanced post-image manipulation or you require either personal art direction or to use our on-line gallery system, these would be done under the full commission rates. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and receive individual professional photography prices. Prices start from £250.

Cut outs with our small business photo package

Cut outs done in conjunction with the photography are charged at £30 per hour. We can give you a clearer guide to the cost of each image when we discuss your products as the complexity of producing good cut outs varies with each product.

Full commission rates

Prices start from £250.

Commissions are priced by the day or half day and prices are specific to individual commissions. Please contact us to discuss your exact requirements.

Although, with this level of service, you are welcome to come along to the studio to art direct personally, we also offer an on-line gallery direction service, allowing you to art direct from anywhere. Many of our clients (even some local to us) believe the on-line gallery works well and allows them to carry on with their work, while we proceed with their photography. Being present in the studio does, however, have the benefit of instant feedback, if you are able spare the time away from your workplace.

It is possible to bring a mobile studio to you. This will incur an additional payment to meet our additional set up time and effort. 

Copy Work

For photographing 2D work; ideal for high quality reproduction as a pre-sale record or for post cards, greeting cards and posters. The high resolution images can also be used for insurance purposes, as they are photographed with a professional colour match card and scale, if required, to show the size of the work. All digital images supplied on disc.

"As a local artist needing to make print runs from my larger paintings, I have used the copy service provided by Photography by Ward and found it to be of a very high standard. Each painting was carefully photographed in the studio and I was given a cd of the final high resolution files. The images consistently preserved the colour, vibrancy and minute details from the originals and allowed for an excellent reproduction at the printers. I found the service to be professional but friendly and, in terms of cost, very reasonable - the lowest quote by far - and would not hesitate to recommend this exceptional copy service to anyone."

• £20 per picture (minimum order four pictures).
