Questions
Before you ask.
Do you bring your own kit?
I work with my own camera and lighting for smaller shoots, and hire in for anything larger. Kit is quoted separately from my day rate so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Can you also edit?
Yes. See Editing & Post-Production. Many clients prefer one person across both, since the footage is shot knowing how it will cut.
Do you travel?
Yes, across India. Travel and accommodation are quoted at cost.
Next step
Tell me about
the project.
Quoted individually. The shoot is only half of it, the rest is where the work ends up and for how long.
