FAQ
Can you organise photographers and videographers?
We work with some of the best photographers and videographers in Australia, and can engage a full crew made up of creatives that are best suited to bringing your vision to life. If you have a photographer or videographer in mind, we’re happy to make the connection and negotiate on your behalf. But we can also make suggestions of professionals that we trust and think will work magic with your brief.
Do you shoot on location or in studio?
The answer is both! We’ll shoot wherever makes sense for your project, whether that’s in a studio or on location. We’ve shot previous campaigns in photography and video studios across Australia, as well as in beautiful homes, out in nature, on the city streets, and in all sorts of unique locations.
Once your creative concept is locked in, we’ll present multiple location options that suit your vision and budget. Then we’ll negotiate rates, handle the booking, communicate with property owners, and apply for any necessary location permits.
How long does commercial photography take?
That really depends on each individual project. Some campaigns require a single day of shooting (or even a half day in some cases), while others take multiple days. We’ve spent up to 4 days on set for a single campaign in the past, due to the number of shots, outfits and different locations required.
Can you travel interstate for shoots?
Yes! Although our team is based in Melbourne, we’ve shot campaigns all over the country. Our network of creatives, talent agencies and location companies stretches across Australia, and our team is ready to jump on a plane to join you on set wherever we need to.
Do you handle post-production and retouching?
Our job doesn’t end when the shoot wraps. We handle all sorts of post-production duties like file sorting, retouching, graphic design, video editing and rollout. We’ll work with your team to action feedback, work to your deadlines, and finesse every aspect of the project before your audience sees it.
