Property Photography Rates

  • My property photography rates are based on my regular day rate. However each property and reason for photographing the property is different, so the time on location may be vary for the same size property.

    Reasons for photographing the property: For Sale, Rental, Magazine, Website.

    Each of these will result in the time varying. For example, if it is simply for sale, you may want only 4-5 wide images taken per room. For a magazine, high end rental or to promote your business, you may want a more artistic style with lots of detail shots. This will obviously take more time.

    So the rates below are just to give you a general idea. Each property will be quoted differently.

    • Day Rate: CHF1800 (Up to 8 hrs)

    • Half Day: CHF1080 (Up to 4hrs)

    • Outside of Hours: CHF280hr (Before 8am and after 6pm)

    Please note that for an hourly shoot there is a minimum charge not including travel time

    • 1hr is CHF420, after that CHF270hr

    Please note that if you would like more than one property photographed in the same day, additional time will be added in to cover the travel and set up time in between.

    The rates above are basic day rates. They do not include the re-touching costs and licensing rates of the images which are calculated individually for each project based on length of time of usage, global location, placement etc. Please mail: contact@melodysky.com for more information.

  • I am very happy to work within your budget. So if you want time taken and lots of images, I can. In some cases, clients want daytime shots and evening shots of the entire chalet, so this may mean coming back on two separate photo shoots.
