These three costs, travel, equipment rental, and studio space, are exactly the kind of line items that catch clients off guard when they're not addressed upfront. Mosthigh Multiservice handles all three the same way: clarify the shoot's actual needs during the quoting stage, and price anything beyond the standard setup as a clearly stated add-on rather than folding it invisibly into a bigger number.
Travel within Accra for a standard shoot is typically included in the base rate, since it's a normal part of doing business locally. Travel outside Accra, or shoots requiring an overnight stay, gets quoted separately once the location and duration are known, covering transport and, where relevant, accommodation. This is worked out during the initial conversation about the shoot, not added as a surprise afterward, because a client planning a shoot in another region deserves to know that cost before committing.
Equipment is scoped the same way. Mosthigh's standard kit, covering typical cameras, lenses, and lighting, is included in normal packages. Specialized gear, like a drone for aerial footage, professional strobe lighting for a large commercial space, a gimbal rig for smooth tracking shots, or lenses for a specific creative look, is priced separately because that equipment carries its own rental or maintenance cost that a standard package rate wasn't built to absorb. Clients who know they want a specific look, like drone shots of a property or event, should mention it early so it's factored into the quote rather than requested last minute.
Studio space works similarly. If a shoot happens on location, whether that's a client's office, a venue, or an outdoor setting, there's typically no studio fee involved. If a client wants a controlled studio environment, for product photography with a clean background, for example, studio rental is either arranged through Mosthigh or quoted as part of the project depending on availability, and that cost is disclosed as its own item. Mosthigh has his own studio were no fee is charged.
The underlying principle across all three is the same one Mosthigh applies to pricing generally: describe the actual need clearly upfront, and get a quote that reflects that need honestly rather than a flat number that either overcharges for a simple shoot or quietly excludes something a bigger shoot actually requires. A client planning a shoot with specific location, equipment, or studio requirements should mention all of it when requesting a quote.
