Who is Doug Churchill?

What are you offering?

I’m now offering my extensive Martial Arts photography experience to your school. There’s a difference between my Martial Arts photography and the photography you purchase from ‘the big corporate photo outfits’. I spend up to 20 minutes with each student (‘the big photo outfits’ spend only 5 minutes). Nobody is more qualified to make high quality images of your students and instructors. I’ve made tens of thousands of images over my 19 year career as a Martial Arts photographer.

What do I get?

For helping to sign up your students, you will receive one free photo session, for every 10 students that sign up. In addition you’ll receive a CD-R containing selected images of your students to use for your school. Includes Personal Use License.

How do I book a photo day?

It’s easy to sign up your Martial Arts school for a photo day, just call or email to find out when I’ll be in your area. I’ll provide you with all the materials needed to sign up your students along with a 12x18" photo poster to advertise the event (similar to the 4x6" photo enclosed).

 

Is there a sitting fee?

              The sitting fee is $35.00

How do I schedule a photo session?

Time slots for photo sessions are limited and available on first come, first served basis.

The best way is to reserve your time slot on the sign-up sheet at your school.

Same day walk-ups are accepted on a first come, first served basis only.

How much time is needed for each student’s photo session?

Allow 1 hour. We schedule 3 students per hour in 15 minute blocks of time each.

             We will shoot what it takes to get what you want.

What about group or family photos?

A group or family photo of up to 6 people can be made in one 15 minute photo time slot. If individuals in the group are to be also photographed individually it requires one photo time slot for the group and one photo time slot for each individual to be photographed.

A minimum purchase of a $35.00 sitting fee is required for each time slot.

How do I choose and order my image(s)?

Your images can be viewed and ordered immediately when shot and will be made available for online viewing and ordering within 14 days of your portrait session at MartialArtsPhotos.com
