i am a amateur photographer and i have a vision that i want to produce as a passion project. i have my mood board set out, i know what nails makeup clothes lighting etc i want and to be honest i wouldn’t really call it a editorial. but i’m just wondering from lighting to props to hair and makeup, nails, stylist, models, casting, set design, location, permits, food, flights, lodging, etc what is the average cost of production? to give you more context on my vision my ideas are inspired by people like Gregory Crewdson, and William Mortensen. im and also inspired by artist Henry Tanner and sculptur Richmond Barthé.
Anywhere between whatever it costs to charge the camera batteries on up to several million.
Even knowing what sort of final photo you are aiming for is not helpful since any given line item can be either very expensive or free depending on how it’s done.
