Scott Thompson specializes in the following commercial photography services:
Advertising and Marketing Photography- I can help businesses photograph their store fronts, products, staff and more.
Weather it's for a billboard, magazine ad, or web site, I can provide you with a picture that is worth a thousand words.
Event Photography- I can help events organizers capture their sports, social, or business event and provide prints and downloads to them and their attendees at great prices.
My Rates- My rates are $125 an hour for all commercial photo services with a minimum of $375.00. This is for both photography time and for image processing time in Photoshop. It usually works out to about 2 hours of processing time for every hour of photography. Weekend and Holiday shooting rates are $175 per hour. Estimates are available but I will need a detailed shot list and job description.
My Experience- I have been shooting since 1996, professionally as Scott Shots Photography since 1998. I have worked at camera stores, printing labs, and for other photography services. Please view my slide show above for some samples of commercial photography I have shot.
My Equipment- I bring very high end equipment to your shoot. I use Canon's top two 21.1 megapixel cameras, a 1DS MarkIII and a 5D Mark II. I use L series lenses (Canon's best) , top of the line flash unit, white balancing tools, many lens filters and other miscellaneous equipment. When my camera bag is fully packed, it is worth about $18,000. I also use a Mac Book Pro with an 8 gig processor to help make processing time as fast as possible. For printing I use an Epson 9900, Epson's top of the line 44" wide archival printer. In total, I have over $37,000 worth of equipment to get you extremely high quality photographs for you and your photography needs.
Image Delivery- After your photos are shot and processed, I have a great solution for delivering images to you and your web/print designer. You are sent an email with a link to either a gallery or lightbox where you can easily download either the original file or smaller .jpegs for quicker downloading. The high quality original files are best for large prints but they can be huge files and take a while to download. If you are only using the images for the web, the smaller file sizes will be perfect and require less time to download. The gallery option for viewing can be a little more aesthetically pleasing to the eye and can be publicly shared. But the lightbox option makes it easier for you to share your thoughts and choices with your web/print designer by using the 5 star rating system and comment box that you both can view. Image delivery may take up to two weeks after the photoshoot, but usually will be ready within a couple days.
Insurance- Insured by Zurich, for your protection.
Schedule- Please plan on scheduling your photoshoot at least a couple weeks before the date you need. I am a very busy photographer and last minute photo shoot requests might not make it onto my schedule and RUSH fees may apply.
