The digital revolution has brought amazing flexibility and the ability to control various factors during the image taking and making process. Photographers, the hobbyist, the professional, the amateur all benefit from this ability to manipulate pixels. However, with flexibility comes a price. Digital camera equipment is still considerably more expensive when you factor in its' lifespan, the need for additional resources for processing those images, the time it takes to get a usable image, and the effort that goes into creating a work of photographic art. We all know that you can go to the local Walgreen's and pay $1.99 for a print. As a client, you may wonder why you may pay upwards of $50, $70, $90 for a custom photography print. 

The truth of the matter is the answer to this question is multifaceted. Much of the cost of a photographic print produced by a professional photographer has a lot to do with the time, equipment costs, artistic vision and reputation of the photographer, not to mention, expertise and the usual costs of running a legitimate business.  It isn't always obvious, but most photography sessions plus post production (editing) take anywhere between 10-20 hours to complete.  Fine art photography can't be created on an iPhone and neither can the experience you will have with a professional session.
