and now MORE About ME

Wallis Photo LLC is in fact Jason Wallis (with an "is" not "ace" at the end). I have lived in the OC for the last 10 years and shoot for a lot of magazines (Orange Coast, Damsel, Blisss) and advertising clients (Juxt Agency, HP, Qualcomm and Cisco).

Yes I photograph real people also and even do weddings (shock! horror!) and families. We are in a recession after all and this is not NYC. No one can just do fashion here. Weddings and families pay the mortgage and allow me to do the more creative shoots.

Yes, some of the models really do "look like that"... most don't (Photoshop). Does my wife get upset? No we have been together a long time.

No I am not from Australia -and don't worry, that doesn't offend me... I am from New Zealand. Why would I leave "such a beautiful place"? California is the land of opportunity and I love the weather and access to the surf!

If you would like to enquire about photography and get a quote call me anytime (949)307 3833 or email me! What do I charge? It depends on the shoot. What will you get: the high resolution images and usage rights for your needs. I always guarantee my work and will re shoot or refund if you are dissatisfied.

On the technical side: I went to Brooks and I shoot all digital and operate a full-service photography studio in Orange County which is also available as a popular photo rental studio in Costa Mesa (Click here for directions).

Rates:

What I offer:

I will come to you or you can come to my studio. I bring all the lighting equipment and backgrounds and will shoot high resolution digital images.

The proofs will be posted online for viewing within 24 hours or less.

The editing will be done overnight. The images then will be put on cds/dvds with previews (72 dpi) and high res (300 dpi) versions.

I always guarantee my work.

 

Understanding Usage and Fees:

I do not charge on a day rate or hourly basis. Each project is unique, and time is only one factor I consider when determining my price for a specific assignment.

Photography is a creative process and production time is rarely an indicator of value.

“Why do you need to know how I am going to use the photographs?”

Photographs are intellectual property, and licensing their use is how I generate income. The fees for a specific project are based on the use of the photographs because the more the images are used, the greater value they have. Since they’re worth more, they cost more.

For example: a model should not have to pay the same rate as a company with a huge advertising budget and reach...

You mean I pay you and I don’t own it?

Photographs are the intellectual property of the creator.

Much like software or a book, you can purchase the use, but the creator still owns the material. I own the rights to my photographs, but I can write a license that will let you do whatever you need to do. My price will reflect the value of that license.

If you do not want to come back to you each time you need to use these picture then I am more than happy to license a package of rights for these photographs, but you may be paying for uses you do not really need. I am service oriented and accessible if additional uses arise. My goal is, of course, to build a long-term business relationship, so tell me what your plans are and we can work out an equitable license.

 

You can email me or call me (949) 307 3833 for a no-obligation estimate!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Licensing and stock photography

Bored of cheesy, stale, unoriginal and unimpressive stock photos from the big web sites?

Don't want the expense and time of an entire photo shoot when you only need one or two images for your web site or advertising?

I have a large collection of fashion images that can be licensed (including out takes from fashion editorial shoots) for your business and magazine providing an equitable agreement can be reached with the model agency and myself. After that you will have a model release and photography release to use the photos.

Licensing fees depend on usage. Photographs are the intellectual property of the creator (for more information click here). Much like software or a book, you can purchase the use, but the creator still owns the material. I own the rights to my photographs, but I can write a license that will let you do whatever you need to do. My price will reflect the value of that license.

I also have out takes and other stock images available for licensing on request

In 2009 I will be launching a stock web site.
