Q: What is an Exclusive/Custom Shoot?

A: An Exclusive/Custom Shoot is a photo or video shoot you request us to do according to your directions and choice of models which we will provide for you to select from. Photos from these shoots are licensed for commercial use.

Q: How much does a full production shoot cost?

A: Our Production Shoots cost around 10K to 20K per session. VJ Dunraven Productions LLC or Period Images finances all film production and custom shoot production costs so you don't have to. This includes Hair Stylists, Makeup Artists, VFX Artists, Wardrobe Designers, Wardrobe Stylists, Production Designers, DPs, DITs, SRs, Casting fees, Model/Actor Fees, Photographer fees, Studio or Location fees, Props, Custom-made Wardrobe, Editors, Production Assistants, and Shoot Coordinators. You only pay for the Exclusive License to use one or more photos in one particular genre and one particular pose.

 

Q: How much will a custom photoshoot Exclusive Licensing cost me?

  • $450.00 for one model (Male or Female) in a single pose (License Rates may vary depending on current model rates.)
  • $550 and up for two models (Male + Female) in a single pose (License Rates may vary depending on current model rates.)

Q: What important details should I know about Custom shoots and Exclusive Licenses? 

A: Buying an Exclusive/Custom License means you'll have an image shot to your specifications in your book cover.

  • It allows usage to an UNLIMITED number of books (audiobooks, eBooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, etc.) including web and print promotional materials and trailers.
  • All photos from a custom shoot are licensed for commercial use.
  • Please note, an exclusive/custom license is not the same as copyright. Period Images still owns the copyright for the images.
  • You are not allowed to share the image or images for others to use.
  • If you are an author and you have a publisher, you can either have your publisher buy the exclusive/custom license, or have your publisher get an "Extended Use License" (If you, the author, already bought the Exclusive/Custom License). An "Extended Use License" allows your publisher to use your Exclusive/Custom Image for your books printed under their label. The cost for an "Extended Use License" is $75.00 (After the Exclusive/Custom License cost)
  • We believe in Creative Inclusivity. Poses are universal to all creatives worldwide and cannot be made exclusive.
  • Models are people who work for a living just like all of us. They cannot work exclusively for your custom shoot only, nor forbidden to work in other Period Images shoots.
  • The wardrobe provided is the property of VJ Dunraven Productions. These are original designs custom crafted by our wardrobe team and will be used for other shoots as well.
