The Business of Corporate and Architectural Photography
“It’s an art form but it’s also a business.”
Steve Whittaker –Whittaker Photography http://www.whittpho.com/
The business of corporate and architectural photography includes many aspects that constantly require attention. Estimating, licensing issues, scouting assignments, protecting your digital assets, creating that production list — all are important factors.
Once the client signs that contract and pays the 50% retainer, project coordination comes into play. That includes security clearances, site preparation, transportation arrangements, permits, releases and access authorization. All of these areas need to be conveyed to the client. This presentation covers all of that and more.
Topics covered:
- Estimating, contracts, stock issues
- Assignment project coordination
- Permits, release forms, film commissions
- Risk Mitigation, safety issues
- Assignment preparation, scouting
- Assignment execution
- Case studies-business, lighting and safety issues
- Case Studies: Copyright issues and violations
- Post-production
- Copyright registration
- Digital Archiving and Back Up Solutions
