About Our Costs
The cost of doing business
Some have wondered why our photo sessions, image review sessions and professional prints seem to be costly. Our response is straightforward it comes down to both soft and hard costs.The soft costs are the intangibles and they are the most complex. They include the decades that it has taken Lord Byron to create his astute know-how and professionalism. Soft costs also embrace the deep – seated charisma or aura of our founder that makes it incredibly trouble-free for his clients to invite him and his team back time & time again into their very personal spaces and lives to create enduring images.
His confident, yet unruffled, persona and artistic workmanship liberates people to be photographed assertively in the full range of artistic photography. It takes noteworthy expertise to bring all of these pieces together and our brand, Lord Byron Photography, has done just that.
The hard costs are easier to appreciate but they include the cost of the space, the professional lighting equipment, light modifiers, the cost of backdrops, the specialized cameras and lenses, the Mac computers, the adobe software and all the peripherals required to create and redundantly store digital images safely. Not a one of these tangibles comes cheap and regrettably none of them last very long so the replacement costs are part of our on – going expenses.
We have built our pricing based on a number of factors and measurements and deem them sustainable, competitive and profitable. As a consequence we therefore, consider our prices achievable, fair and worth every penny!
