Special Discounted Rates and Early Bird will be posted on Facebook to coincide with Cosplay Events around the year usually 8 weeks before the event and finishing 4 weeks out of the event. The usual Early Bird is to help travel out of Wellington and it’s the extra digitals, full payment paid before the end offer date is usually expected. Cosplay Bounty list.

  • Please note for every hour of shooting, there is at least half-hour pre-shoot preparation and 2-hour post-production.
  • Pricing includes GST.
  • Each event is different from the other, therefore the pre-shoot consultation will give the best indication.
  • Images will be delivered based on available timing from Capturing Cosplay. One sneak peek image (chosen by the photographer) will always be sent within 72 hours of the photoshoot. This will be posted on social media/print.

I guess this needs to be said. My rate is based on many things, including the amount of work I have in and around my content creation, visual storytelling and graphic design. Please note Capturing Cosplay is a sub-brand from my main brand (which includes commercial work). This is often my arena and testing ground to explore and be more creative with my visual storytelling. As a reflection the processing time and rate card are different.
