SWIMWEAR DESIGNER PHOTO SHOOT PRICING
 
Up to 3 swimsuits, shipped to me on loan or to keep and use, incorporating your brand into my shoots for model, makeup artist, hairstylist and my own photographer feature is a $300.00 flat fee service. It does have limitations however, so it's best to contact me to discuss.
 
Any shoots where you are expecting all the images for your use, all the rights to the images, a "say" in model, muah artist, or location choices will be a paid shoot (ie you'll be paying me) Rates depend on how much of your line I'll be shooting and what rights you're expecting and how much control of the shoot you're expecting. 
 
A **typical** magazine feature is multiple pages/photos in length. It contains a biography on your company and/or it's lead designer (your choice of which or both). Also within the feature are your website, email, telephone and skype (if applicable) links. In the digital magazine version, those items are all "LIVE" (meaning when the reader clicks on them, they will go to your website, or will be able to email you directly for asking questions). 
 
I say **typical**, as I have had both larger and smaller features, depending on how many samples a designer sends me. Should you choose to send only one piece from your line, I don't see the need to send in 15 shots of one item. In that circumstance the feature is shorter in photo/page length. That is the only difference. By contrast I've also had much longer features (46 pages/photos has been the most). It's really up to your company.
