Workflow
Which are the key steps of a photo shooting?
Appointment & Negotiation
Briefing
In a personal conversation we discuss your ideas and wishes. The more we know about your company, your brand and your image, the more precise we can offer possibilities and solutions for you.
Conception
Our team works out a shooting plan, which reaches your target audience best. Your customers should not only identify themselves with our photographs, but they should live the image of your brand/company.
Calculation
If you like our shooting schedule and everything is clear, we will calculate a full fixed price covering all works and services of the project. Once we receive your “OK”, we’ll get to work.
Preparation
Models
We search for photo models through model agencies and we organize castings to find the best suiting models for your image. The best models identify themselves with the role they play to suit your demands.
Styling
2-1 weeks until the photo shoot
Our stylist prepares all the clothing, shoes and accessories for the models as well as several props and trinkets. Everything has to be prepared up to the last detail, as it has to fit harmonically into the concept.
Moods & Locations
Wherever the best place for the realisation of the production might be, we will find the right location for your project. Alternatively we are able to plan and construct many situations in our studio.
Photo shooting day
Make Up & Styling
Our make up artists prepare the models for every setup. The make-up has to fit the styling and creates the perfect look. Within this phase we work already with highest precision. Mainly always under time pressure and even if the weather is fine or bad.
Photographer
The photographer and his assistants are preparing and measuring the setup on location to have the best light situation. For sure he orientates his work within the concept. Of course he is able to change his technic to suit unexpected situations.
Producer
The producer is the one who is everywhere although nobody sees him the whole shooting day. He coordinates everything and guarantees that everything works and runs harmonically.
After the photo shoot
Selection
1-2 days after the photo shoot
Hundrets of images we have to review and select the best shots, to give them to our retoucher. Our educated eyes know best, what our customers demand and which images do represent their image perfectly.
Post production
2-5 days after the photo shoot
Our graphics and retouchers are often called “digital surgeons”. They are able to expand legs, slim waists and even cellulite is no problem for them. They can form things and move them from anywhere to another place. Perfect retouching is as important as perfect photography.
Delivery
If all images are retouched and ready, we will send them to you for previewing. In case that you confirm our good job and give us your OK, we will supply all finalized images in full resolution. You can choose between physical delivery on DVD or FTP-download.
