The Great Pricing Mystery Solved!

I'm always asked - "Tim, what are your prices?"

Seems like a fair enough question right? Sure! If I was looking to buy something, my one of my first points for comparison to make a choice is probably going to be based on the price tag!

I have a large variety of AMAZING ways for a client to display their final images. The products I carry all require an amount of personalization, and many of the products are so unique and beautiful that there is no way to fully describe them that can match what it is like to hold and inspect it personally. For these reasons I don't have any packages set in stone (although I do sell images on stone), which means I honestly can't give a price quote because a client won't know what they want until they come and find out what it is that they really want.

I encourage prospective clients to come to the shop and poke around! It is super fun to take something off the wall of my shop and check it out. This is where clients learn the prices of things. Everything in the shop has a tag on it, and is available in a size that will make them happy.

Once a client has come to the shop and figured out what they want in products, we talk about their shoot and I give professional advice to taylor the session for their needs, then we figure out which session they should choose. Each session's fee is determined by time commitment.

This is the BEST way to figure out a final price for a photo session and printed products. Once clients are educated in what is available, and they find the specific things they want, they know what to budget for their shoot - and everyone is happy :)

So You Want To Be A Photographer?

Are you interested in becoming a photographer? Do you want to turn your passion for creating images into a source of income to support yourself and your family? Tim Walck Photography will soon be offering online courses in photography training, and portrait business training. Each course will span 4-8 weeks. Every student who participates in all classes will gain the tools necessary to succeed in the wedding and portrait photography business. ---- I started my photography business with only $2,000, which I had saved from working as a tele-marker, social services provider, and substitute teacher, all while being a full time graduate student at Mansfield University. That was enough to buy a camera, lens, and flash. I poured my heart and soul into photography, read everything I could get my hands on, and began to build my business. After 3 short years of juggling multiple jobs, and being a photographer on the side, I made the leap into phot...

Black and White - Conversion VS Infrared, See the Difference.

Digital Black and white photography can be created through many techniques. You could use the Instagram app and click a pre-made filter, use a more advanced software program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, convert it directly inside your camera body, screw on an infrared filter to the front of your lens and convert it to black and white post production, or convert a camera to only capture infrared light. Today I'm just going to explore my two favorite methods: 1) Using an infrared converted camera. 2) Converting images in Adobe Lightroom. So what is the difference between the two methods? A color image that is converted to black and white allows you lots of control over each color channel. This is handy if you want to make different colors stand out by being brightened or darkened in your final black and white image. An image that is captured from infrared light has much less control over colors as the only colors captured are tones of red. Ho...

Most Important Gear.

I am often asked, "Tim, what is your favorite piece of gear?" Well - yesterday I got asked a new one! "Tim, what is your most important piece of gear?" So, I thought about it for a minute. I realized that there is no camera, lens, flash, or light modifier that is more important than one thing. That thing is me . NOT that I'm implying that I am a tool ;) (Though I do have a ridicules shirt that says "Tim's tools, if you need a tool, grab Tim's!") I could use a polaroid camera, disposable film camera from the local pharmacy, or even my iPhone, and I know that I could make great meaningful images. There is just no piece of equipment more important than the artist's vision, and skill for creating it - which comes from lots of hard work, experience, and dedication. I may pack a bunch of gear, and have many tools at my disposal, but ultimately the image is made by me, not a camera. With all that being said - there are som...
