FAQs

Booking & Planning

What’s the difference between commercial photography and other types of photography?

Commercial photography is specifically created to sell or market a product, service, or brand. Unlike headshots or brand photography, which often focus on the person, commercial work is centered on the business’s marketing goals, often for advertising campaigns, e-commerce, or corporate publications.

How do I get started with a commercial photography project?

First, we’ll have a detailed consultation to understand your project goals, target audience, and brand identity. We’ll discuss your specific needs, such as the number of photos, usage rights, and any logistical requirements. From there, I’ll create a customized proposal and a creative brief.

What information do you need from me to plan the shoot?

To ensure the shoot is successful, I’ll need a clear understanding of your project goals, a shot list of the specific images you need, and any relevant branding guidelines. A mood board or examples of styles you like are also incredibly helpful for establishing a visual direction.
The Production Process

Do you handle all aspects of the shoot, like location scouting and props?

Yes, a full-service commercial shoot includes managing all the moving parts. I can take care of location scouting, hiring models or talent, securing props, and coordinating with a stylist or art director to ensure the final images meet your vision. We’ll outline all of these details in the initial project brief.

How long will the photo shoot take?

The duration of a commercial shoot varies widely depending on the complexity and scope of the project. A small product shoot might take a few hours, while a large-scale advertising campaign with multiple locations and models could take several days. We will provide a detailed timeline in the project proposal.

Can I be on set during the shoot?

Yes, your presence is welcome and encouraged. Having you on set allows for real-time feedback and collaboration, which helps ensure the photos align perfectly with your vision. However, if you are unable to attend, we can communicate throughout the day with photo selects to keep you updated.
Post-Production & Usage

What’s included in the post-production process?

Post-production involves culling, editing, and retouching the images. I will perform professional color correction, exposure adjustments, and remove any distractions or imperfections to create polished, high-quality images. The level of retouching will be determined by the project’s needs.

What are the usage rights for the photos?

Usage rights are a critical component of commercial photography. The cost of the project is often tied to how and where the images will be used (e.g., social media, print ads, billboards). We will define the scope of the usage license in our contract to ensure you have the rights you need for your specific marketing campaigns.

How will I receive the final images?

Once the final edits are complete, you will receive a link to a secure, private online gallery where you can download your high-resolution images. These files will be formatted for optimal use across all the platforms outlined in our agreement.
