I am for hire as a concert/general band photographer. So if you need promotional live shots, I'm your woman.
My base rate is $20/hour, including the time to take the shots as well as time spent on Photoshop resizing and touching up. If you want actual prints, I can give you large-size .pdf files to have prints made yourself, as I do not have a printshop yet. I consider this rate fair, as money earned grants me the ability to upgrade equipment, which allows for better photos down the road.
I'm generally only working in the greater Baltimore area as of now; if you give me an offer I cannot refuse farther away, however, I may make exceptions.
So look through my gallery, if you like the kind of shots I have up then feel free to email me at mricks (at) gmail (dot) com; keep in mind that I do work full-time during normal business hours.
I am open for commissions. If you like the fantasy/figure art I have up here, well then you might like your own personalized art. I can either do art in "Mango" style, or in the style you see in my general drawings. I can colour in either Photoshop or coloured pencils, though if you get a Photoshop colouring you will only receive the original linework and the .jpg file, as my printer is not set up for good prints.
I generally charge around $30 for a full-coloured, single-character drawing with minimal background, depending on the size you want (I can go up to 11x17") and the intricacy. I will work with anyone in regards to price as well.
Obviously, I am best at dragons.. I also can swing other animals and people, though it may take me longer.
If you would like more specific information, you can always email me at mricks (at) gmail (dot) com.
Mango comics will no longer be posted here. I've got the website up and (somewhat) running, so every Friday night/Saturday just head on over to see what wonders await you... in Mangoland.
