Commercial Photography

What is Commercial Photography?

Commercial photography can be pictures of anything, from beautiful art work to buildings. It might be a corporate portrait of the CEO or well lit pictures of cabbage rolls. Dignitaries at a ground breaking ceremony to pictures for safety manuals.

The difference between consumer and commercial photography is - The need for top quality high resolution - copyright free images that can be used over and over in all mediums.

Commercial images may be used in brochures, web sites, promotional materials, magazines etc.

 

That sounds very official and also expensive - not so………….
A Sharper Image will work out a pricing strategy that will be the most cost effective for your needs.
Experience has shown us that no two jobs are the same, so to give an exact price is impossible.
However commercial photography usually falls into Three categories;

Product Photography , Event Photography And Business Portraits

Prices;
Product Photography
Product photography is to some degree an art, because very often it is the photograph that will inspire potential customers to buy.

Many clients require simple straight forward product shots with a plain background. Which are perfect for web pages. This type of photography requires special lighting and editing techniques to create. This type of photography is very versatile and used in many mediums effectively such as print, catalogue or an online store.
In sharp contrast items styled and proped to create a "lifestyle" image really grab attention. Any items with highly reflective surfaces such as jewellery, or glassware, requires special techniques and takes more time.


Individual Small item - shot in the studio $39.00 per item

If you have only a couple of pieces this is the most ecconomical way to go
However if you have multiple items and they all require similar lighting and set up our commercial hourly rate will be more economical
Multiple items shot in the studio $100.00 per hour

Multiple Large items - shot on location hourly rate $120.00
Large items are products that cannot be easily brought to the studio and photographed on a table.
We bring to your location all the lights / backdrops and equipment needed to conduct a professional photo shoot.

Corporate Portraits
Corporate portraits can be taken either on location at your place of work, in my studio or in an enviromental outdoor setting,

Enviromental Portraits

Not all business is done in board rooms, I work quite intensively with equine businss owners and a classical head shot would do nothing to promote their Specialised line of work. So we head out to where our clients conduct their businesses ( very often down on the farm) and create portraits that illuminate the subjects life, special talents and surroundings. Enviromental portraits are more than just a head shot - they tell a story.
