On an average I charge approximately *information hidden*INR for 6-7 hours of shoot, particularly for simple portrait shoots at studio or outdoor locations. This includes photography, hiring assistants and equipments like lights etc. This also includes colour correction and editing of photos. If the requirement for hours go up, or change of location and clothes go up, the rates may increase.

I share my portfolio with the client and if they are satisfied with my work, we agree to discuss the client's requirements in details. Post that we discuss other details like concept, venue, number of people/ hours of work and come to an agreement with their budget and my cost for the shoot.
