Q // are you fully vaccinated?
I sure am!
Q // am i ready for a branding shoot?
If you are willing to be lead by someone who truly sees you and can take the creative reins to make beautiful, unique photos, then you are ready! I am here to create artistic, ethereal, off the beaten path photos for your brand. My work is NOT for someone who is looking for traditional portraits. If you are looking for a more classic over modern aesthetic, we probably aren’t the right fit. Still not sure? Scroll down to download my “Four Signs you’re Ready for a Branding Session” guide to help you make the decision process a lot easier!
Simply put, a branding session tells YOUR story, what you’re about, your core values as a business and legitimizes your brand. A commercial shoot is a beautiful tool that is meant to promote your commercial business. You will essentially be making money off the photos we make together. For example, a lookbook shoot that showcases your new line of skin care products or clothing line that will be published in a catalog.
Q // WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BRANDING SESSION AND A COMMERCIAL SHOOT?
Q // Do we get the copyrights to the images taken?
You will receive a standard print release, which allows you to share your images for personal use on your social feeds and website. For exclusive usage/licensing fee (one year lease for use on billboards, in magazine ads, etc) the fee is $1200 per image (hi-resolution) or $2,000 per gallery. For Full Copyright Buyout (which is to obtain exclusive ownership of images) the fee is $2,000 per image or $10,000 per gallery.
Q // Can we have the RAW, unedited images?
All images will be delivered in high resolution JPEG format only. No RAW images will be given.
Q // How long will it take to receive my images?
Typically it takes 3-5 weeks depending on my workload and travel schedule. Rush delivery (48 hours) can be purchased at an additional fee of $500.
Q // Where will we be shooting?
The idea here is to shoot you in your environment so if you have office space with good light, great! However, if you don’t work out of a cute, fancy loft/office, that’s ok! We can shoot out of coffee shops, photography studios, your cute living room or gorgeous places outdoors that make sense for your business.
