I believe that the relationships and understanding developed through close collaboration with MY clients strengthens the creative process. I approach each shoot as a creative partnership and dialogue between client and photographer to make the strongest IMAGES possible.

MY process consists of six stages.

A. BRIEF DEFINITION

THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS IS TO DISCUSS THE PROJECT AND YOUR REQUIREMENTS TO SCOPE THE TIME AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE COMMISSION. THIS INITIAL BRIEF DEFINITION CAN BE DONE VIA PHONE AND EMAIL.

B. FEE ESTIMATE

ONCE THE BRIEF IS CONFIRMED A FEE ESTIMATE WILL BE PREPARED. THIS WILL SET OUT THE USAGE LICENCE TERMS FOR THE IMAGES AND ESTIMATED FEES AND EXPENSES.

C. SHOOT PLANNING x PREPARATION

A DATE AND OTHER PLANNING ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SHOOT WILL THEN BE AGREED. THIS WILL OFTEN ALSO INCLUDE An advance SITE VISIT AND DEVELOPMENT OF A SCENE AND SHOT SCHEDULE. SHOOT PREPARATION IS CRITICAL TO A SUCCESSFUL SHOOT AND RELIES ON THE CLIENT TO ENSURE THE PROJECT IS CAMERA READY BEFORE AND ON THE SHOOT DATE.

D. SHOOT

THE SHOOT WILL BE COMPLETED ON THE AGREED DATE.

E. IMAGE EDITING x PROOF SHEET

A DIGITAL PROOF SHEET WITH EDITED IMAGES FROM THE SHOOT WILL BE PROVIDED FOR CLIENT APPROVAL WITHIN TWO WEEKS FROM THE SHOOT DATE UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED ON COMMISSIONING.

F. FINAL IMAGES

THE COMPLETED IMAGE SET AND AN IMAGE USAGE LICENCE WILL BE DELIVERED VIA A DOWNLOAD LINK TO COMPLETE THE COMMISSION. PRINTS AND 35MM FILM SLIDES CAN ALSO BE ORDERED.
