Commercial photography involves creating images for businesses and brands to promote products, services, or their overall identity. This includes product shots, corporate portraits, lifestyle images, and branding content.
What types of commercial photography do you offer?
I offer product photography, corporate headshots, team photos, branding sessions, lifestyle imagery, and photos for marketing campaigns like websites, social media, and print.
Who needs commercial photography?
Any business or professional looking to visually communicate their brand or products can benefit from commercial photography. This includes small businesses, entrepreneurs, startups, corporations, and creatives.
Planning and preparation
How do you approach creating images for a brand?
I start with a consultation to understand your brand identity, goals, and audience. From there, I create a tailored plan to capture photos that align with your vision and resonate with your target market.
Can you help with creative direction?
Yes! I work with you to develop concepts, plan settings, and suggest poses or layouts to ensure your photos are effective and visually compelling.
Do you provide location scouting for sessions?
I'm happy to. I can suggest locations that complement your brand’s style or work with you to find the perfect setting for your shoot.
What do I need to prepare before the session?
Ensure your products or workspace are clean and organized. For headshots or team photos, communicate wardrobe guidelines to your team. If you have specific branding colors or elements, let me know in advance.
During the Session
How long does a commercial photography session last?
The duration depends on the project scope. Headshots might take an hour, while a full branding session or product shoot can last several hours or more.
Can my team or staff be involved in the shoot?
Definitely! Team involvement can help capture authentic moments. Whether it’s team photos or action shots of your staff at work, we’ll ensure everyone looks their best.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate for an outdoor session?
For outdoor shoots, I always have a backup plan, whether it’s rescheduling or moving to an indoor location. Flexibility is key to ensuring great results.
editing and delivery
How long will it take to receive my photos?
Commercial photography projects are usually delivered within 1-3 weeks, depending on the scope. Rush delivery may available for urgent projects.
Do you provide retouching and editing services?
All final images include professional editing to align with your brand’s aesthetic. Retouching includes adjustments for lighting, color, and minor imperfections.
In what format will I receive the final images?
Images are delivered in high-resolution digital files suitable for web, print, and marketing use. Additional formats can be provided if needed.
Can I request additional edits after I see the proofs
If you have specific requests after seeing your proofs, I’ll do my best to accommodate them. Additional edits may incur a fee, depending on the complexity.
Special Requests and Customization
Do you offer on-site or in-studio shoots?
Both! I can travel to your location for on-site sessions or provide a studio setup for products, headshots, or other needs.
Can you create images for social media or advertising campaigns?
I specialize in creating high-quality visuals for digital and print campaigns. Let’s collaborate to capture content tailored for your platform and audience.
Do you provide models for product or lifestyle shoots?
I can recommend local models or help you coordinate talent for your shoot. Alternatively, your team or clients can be featured if it aligns with your goals.
Policies and Pricing
What is your pricing for commercial photography?
Pricing is based on the project scope, including session time, editing needs, and usage rights. I provide customized quotes after discussing your needs.
Are there licensing or usage fees for the photos?
No. Once your photos are delivered, they are yours to do as you wish with. I reserve the right to show off some of your photos on my own platforms, but past that - it's all yours!
What’s your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
For commercial projects, I require at least 72 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A deposit may be required to secure your session, which is non-refundable for late cancellations.
