My photo workstation is fixed, and the 80's prom photos are online!

From the SmugMug gallery, you can purchase prints (at very low prices), or purchase the high-res (printable) versions of the photos for unlimited personal use. Buying prints and high-res photos helps me pay the bills so I can keep offering my photo services to the nightlife community at affordable rates.

Feel free to use Flickr photos for personal MySpace pages, etc, but please credit me so I don't have to start stamping photos with silly water marks. If you wish to use the photos for promotion or commercial purposes, please contact me for permission, first.

My very first shots of one of Merryl at the decks. She's a legend around here. We love her. I was thrilled to find out she was spinning at Johnny's tonight. I love the crowd there. If you want to meet some of SLC's best DJ's, promoters, and scene supporters, Tuesday nights at Johnny's on Second is absolutely the place to be.

I didn't have a model today, but I wanted to shoot, so I took selections from the Dhammapada, and illustrated them with photographs. Enjoy:

This Saturday, 6-30-07

Blazed is a daytime/nighttime electronic music festival / BBQ featuring 10 DJ's playing 12 hours of music, fire spinners, go-go dancers, etc. The DeviantSociety models have been invited to come for a fun out-door photo shoot during the day. If you like, feel free to hang out for the bonfire and fun when the sun goes down!

Models are encouraged to come out early to prepare for the photo shoot. Me and Katie are planning to roll in around 3:00 pm to scout the location and set things up.

The party will be up American Fork Canyon, past Mutual Dell. There is a map available here. Come dressed to kill in your hottest summer fashions. Have fun, and get some killer portraits in a pretty outdoor location.

Eight camera raw exposure HDR merge. This photo was taken in the evening, just after the sun sank behind the opposite canyon wall, casting the falls into deep shadow. I shot eight exposures and merged them in order to get something close to the true sky color, while retaining the highlights and details of the waterfall.

Those cables you see near the top used to be a lift that would run up to a restaraunt at the top. While it was operating, it was one of the steepest lifts in the world. This waterfall has seen its share of rock slides and avalanches. It was decided that operating the lift was too dangerous. It hasn't been in use for years, but the cables are still there. Probably just to annoy photographers.

Photo shoot with Nivi. She's a great model, and a terrific asset for other models at photo shoots. I'm looking forward to a lot more shoots with Nivi, whether she's modeling or helping out behind the camera.

Well, I thought I was shooting graduation photos, but the weather didn't cooperate, so I ended up in Utah Valley with some free time and decided to pay an impromptu visit to my family with my camera gear. They weren't expecting a photoshoot, but we had fun with it, anyway.

No matter what field you're in, chances are, you could use some current headshots from a professional photographer. Corporate executives, business people, actors, models, or professionals in any field can use headshots to enhance resumes, provide visual flair for website biographies, and much more. Even if your only bio is on MySpace, how cool would it be to have the best looking profile image around?

The basic headshot package costs only $150 and includes:

• A variety of web ready sizes are included. Prints are available for a small fee, ranging in size from 4"x6" to wall-covering canvases.
• Royalty-free use for website bios, portfolios, MySpace, and event flyers. If you need a particular size for a print flyer, I can supply it for you.

NOT Included

• Magazine / Newspaper editorial use (press-releases are okay)
• Magazine / Newspaper advertisements
• Commercial direct mailers / brochures
• Any other advertising / commercial use that isn't explicitly granted above

I will retain all commercial rights to the images, but if you wish to use your headshots in corporate marketing materials, advertising, or editorial projects, additional uses can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Packages

Unless otherwise noted in writing, these license terms apply.

Pricing for photography generally falls into two different categories:

• Shooting Fees / Expenses, and...
• Use Fees

Shooting Fees

Shooting fees pay for the photo shoot, and cover expenses like equipment costs and overhead. Shooting fees do not cover extra expenses, such as pay for models, makeup artists, pre-production days, set design and construction, or catering.

Shooting fees range from $150 - $500 per photo shoot, depending upon the complexity of the job. Shorter time blocks do not always translate into smaller shooting fees. After all, it takes a great deal of skill and ingenuity to create a great photograph under intense time pressure. You don't pay for time, you pay for creative vision, and the experience to transform that vision into powerful imagery.

Use Fees

Certain uses are free, including web-sized images for portfolios, MySpace profile pages, and personal (non-commercial) use under these legal terms. If you use an image for free on your website or MySpace profile, you must link to my site, or mention the URL. Here is the proper form of attribution:

Copyright Eric Hamilton, www.dilvie.com

Fees for other uses vary depending on what the photos are for, and how you intend to use them. I always retain copyrights. Every commercial use of an image (even if it's the same image) requires purchase of an image use license. Copyright violators will be subject to prosecution under international copyright laws. All commercial image use must be cleared in advance!

Commercial Uses for Commissioned Photos

Commercial use prices are based on the market average, utilizing the latest prices from an industry standard database that tracks average rates by geographic region. The Plus System is used to come to an agreement that clearly spells out your use needs so that you can be sure that the contract covers everything you need it to cover, and that the pricing for that coverage is arrived at fairly.
