Hmmmmm, let me see if I get this right. You are 18 yrs old don't have much money, and yet you do have your own developing company. Boo Hoo , you are breaking my bleeding heart.

Looking to get quality photography without the high prices. Once again Clubsnap has become a trolling ground for people looking for cheap services.

Lol.. i tink phrase my words wrongly.I apologise really. Wad i meant was my friend's dad does printing... so wad we need is the expertise of skilled photographers =)

sounds like you need makeover services


Arent these everywhere ? walk into one of those makeover studios in town...... they do it daily...we are sure you will be served well..you dun need us....we are expensive.

Oh..before we forget, if you like lifetime 'makeover photos'..meaning you take them annually..when you become 20 ...21st.... go find "NAUGHTY BY NATURE"


Well.... you did say...you wanted advice....


we hope these help ....good luck !

hi thanks for the advice =) I think i am seriously a noob, wad is "naught by nature" ? is there any url ? thanks =)

well if you're looking for a makeover + clothes + photos, that means you're gonna need a stylist+MUA+hairstylist+clothes budget for the stylist+photographer+studio rental fee.

That's gonna work out to quite a bit, likely more than 1k even if you get the three people at really cheap prices. At average prices, be prepared to fork out 1.5-2k at least. If you're gonna hire a set of professionals, you'll hit 4k-5k quite readily.

What I would advise, to cut costs, is to get a friend who has good fashion sense to deck you out in a set of clothes that you like and eliminate the stylist. Get a nice haircut at a good salon before going for the shoot and eliminate the hairstylist. Get a friend who's good at make-up to help and eliminate the MUA. Clear the living room in your home and rent backdrops and lights(make sure you have good curtains).

Then you only have to pay for the photog. Well of course the above suggestions cost money, but it's significantly less than what you would pay since you're DIYing most of the stuff.

how much maximum you can pay?

[hub_bo]

Point noted. Thank you =)

[blazingflames18]

we have to agree with 'stoned' .... if you are looking for personalised shoots, it arent gonna be cheap. Like I said, find one of those makeoever studios, which do such shoots daily..they ve economies of scales.... they 'absorb' some of the costs involved


Oh well, you did say you are 18 ... so u go and figure out what works for you.... Of cos, if you cant afford the 'three dollar plate of chicken rice' ..then dun do it.... we are sure they are other ways to 'record' your sweet 18 ..... good luck

No need so pro a shoot.

Do what Stoned said. And if you know someone good at photography, she/he can shoot for you.

We've got quite a few young talents around.
