Rates and Licencing

 

Due to the level of time commitment to existing projects please email as far in advance as possible to find out about availability for camera work, production management and equipment. We have daily rates for within NZ and internationally and these vary depending on the degree of production support provided and equipment required.

We have also, on occasion, offered our equipment for dry hire. Whilst not a regualr part of our business if you’re in need of kit in Southern New Zealand we’re happy to help.

Our experience and speciality is working in remote and challenging conditions with wildlife or human communities that require that extra element of independence, patience and sympathy. Contact us at james@jamesreardon.org for details.
