DP/
VIDEOGRAPHY DAY RATE

Rates vary widely based on your project (feature, commercial, industrial) and my passion for the work.  Currently, a feature film with a great script and a competent, collaborative team can enjoy a very good rate.  Commercial and industrial projects should expect a fair, competitive rate based on the challenges inherent in my contribution and the project's budget.  Long-term and portfolio-enhancing projects may also enjoy lower rates.

Everything is negotiable, so let's talk.

If you're renting lighting/grip, consider my one-ton package and camera support gear.  Using your rental budget to book my gear could result in a lower fee.

Check out my rental inventory or consider my 1-ton grip/electric package.
