Photography / Public relations
The high/low budget categories are for guidance only. The most important point is that they do not divide between profit and non-profit making organisations. Charities can have high budgets, and commercial organisations low budgets.
Note that these rates do not include production charges!


Please note that the suggested rates below are minima; that rates for copyright works are for limited licences; and that VAT is not included.
