FAQ-Event-Photography

EventsEvent photography questions? We’ve got answers.

How long have you been an event photographer?
I’ve had the pleasure of covering a variety of events for more than two decades. In that time I’ve photographed everything from sales conferences and conventions to awards dinners and all kinds of private events.

What kind of equipment do you use? 
I always want to have the best possible equipment for my shoots, and use all professional Canon gear. Also, I still use at least two cameras for events. This allows me more flexibility in making those great images you are looking for and ensures that I always have a backup.

How many photos will you take at my event? 
This number varies depending on the event, so it’s hard to give an exact number. That said, my associates and I do not put a limit on the number of images shot; my team and I will shoot as much as it takes to make sure that you have everything you need.

How do you charge for event photography?
I typically charge hourly for event coverage, though this may vary with your individual needs and the types of services you are looking for. I can make an exact estimate for you once I get all of the details of your particular event.

Can these images be used on my website and in publications? 
Absolutely! You want everyone to know how great your event was, and so do I. The fee for my event shoots includes licensing for both print and web usage. This includes your website, LinkedIn profile, Facebook page and any other social networking sites you may be using. In fact, I regularly deliver images onsite for use on social media, so just let me know what you need! 

Are you insured? 
Yes, I carry full liability insurance and can provide proof of insurance upon request.

When will my photos be available? 
I will have high-resolution event photos online within a week of the event, and usually get them out faster than that. I also offer next-day or same-day turnaround upon request. Just let me know when you need your photos by, and you will have them!

How do I get my images? 
All images will be available for high-resolution download through ErnestPrice.com an online, password-protected gallery. I typically keep galleries open for 6 months and can extend this time frame upon request. I can also deliver photos via Dropbox, FTP, email, or however works best for you.

Do you travel for event photography? 
I travel regularly across the US for my event photography work and can capture great moments for you wherever you may be.
