As an artist-run agency, we hold a clear understanding of the pressures (financial or otherwise) that come with building a professional practice. Our pricing for artists is kept as affordable as we can manage, and we publish it openly here so you know what you’ll pay before you get in touch.
Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute call, with no obligation to book. In most cases, you’ll work directly with Gregory Eddi Jones, who carries 15 years of active experience as an artist, writer, editor, publisher, and curator operating in the contemporary photography world.

Pricing for Artists
-
Work with us for feedback, direction, or direct support toward reaching the next step in your artist career.
Consultation Sessions - $75/hour
One-on-one time by video or phone: portfolio reviews, project and book feedback, creative mentorship, career strategy, opportunity finding and submission advice, and fundraising strategy.Project Review - $250
A written feedback report of 800 to 1,000 words on your portfolio or photobook in progress. Covers concept, editing, sequencing and layout, technical and creative direction, the audiences best suited to the work, the artists and movements your project converses with, and the written materials that accompany it. Includes a 30-minute call beforehand to discuss your work and a 30-minute call afterward to talk through the feedback.Website Review - $250
A detailed feedback report on your existing site, covering branding, design, organization, photo-editing, project texts, bio, and CV. Includes a 30-minute call beforehand and a 30-minute call afterward.Social Media Blueprint - $200
After a call to learn your goals, we build a blueprint you can follow on your own, with recommendations on content type, tone, and posting frequency to strengthen your presence.
The Lost Artist Special - $125
A two-hour call for artists who feel stuck. Maybe the work has stalled, or the opportunities have dried up, or you have lost the thread of why you started. We talk it through without an agenda, look honestly at where your practice sits, and leave you with a direction and a few concrete next steps. No preparation required beyond showing up.
Editing and Sequencing - $500 to $1,800
Hands-on work with your project to build a body of images into music, manifesto, or narrative force. We consider the full archive of a project, select the pictures that together carry its truest vision, and arrange them into their most potent order.
Suited to website galleries, prep for a portfolio review, or photobook edits headed toward a dummy or a submission. Includes an hour-long call beforehand to understand the work and what you want from it, and an hour after delivery to talk the edit through. You receive the sequenced edit along with a written review of 200 to 500 words setting out the thinking behind it: the logic holding the sequence together, and what the shape of the edit is reaching for.
A website gallery or a tight project sits at the lower end. Photobook work, where a sequence carries the whole weight of the reading and every decision bears on the next, asks for more time and more care, and is quoted after the intro call once we have seen the archive and understood what the book wants to be.
You can also bring us on for the long run, as partners in the steady growth of your career.Creative Mentorship - $350/month
3 hours of consultation each month, plus email access between sessions for questions, opportunities worth weighing, and work in progress. Suited to artists developing a body of work over time who want steady, informed company for the process.Remote Studio Management - $750 - $3000/ month
10 to 40 hours a month of combined consultation and hands-on work: tracking deadlines and open calls, preparing and submitting applications, managing correspondence, keeping your website and materials current, and handling the administrative weight that accumulates around a practice. We agree on priorities at the start of each month. The role can scale up depending on scope, commitment, and availability. -
