-
How is commercial photography priced - per day, per hour, or per project?
Commercial photography pricing is tailored to the scope of each project. Factors that influence the quote include the number of final images required, the complexity of the shoot (location, props, styling, crew), post-production requirements, and the intended usage of the images. We typically price per project rather than per hour, so that you know your total cost upfront. Contact us to request a quote or book a pre-shoot consultation to plan your budget.
-
Are image usage and licensing fees included in the shoot price?
For commercial projects, the creative fee (the shoot itself) is typically separate from the licensing fee. A license determines how, where, and for how long your images may be used — for example, social media use only versus a regional billboard campaign. We discuss usage rights transparently as part of every consultation and quote. Visit our Licenses page for a full overview of the licensing options available.

The Basic Photography Workshop is an in-person, hands-on session held in Punda, Willemstad, Curaçao on selected Saturdays. Each session runs for approximately five hours and is designed for beginners and hobbyists who want to understand their camera and improve their fundamentals in a practical, real-world setting.
Groups are kept small (maximum 5–6 participants) for personalised attention. Pricing starts at $126/Ang. 230 (without lunch) and $145/Ang. 265 (with lunch included). Check our workshop calendar to see upcoming dates and book your spot.
-
Do I need to complete the online course before attending a live workshop?
We recommend completing the EltonBP Photography Foundations Course before attending a live workshop, as a Certificate of Completion is recommended preparation. However, the workshop is designed to be accessible regardless of prior experience — complete beginners are absolutely welcome. The in-person workshop works best as a complement to the online course, putting theory into practice in the field.
