Budget for Successful Photography



We're well into 2009, but it isn't too late to think about your Photography budget and scheduling for the rest of the year. Professional photography of your best projects is an invaluable asset for your upcoming business marketing.


When structuring your budget, it is important to have complete coverage of your most important projects, but remember to saving enough to record your other projects.


When at all possible, try to schedule your photographs when the project is newly completely, and crispy clean so your project is shown in the best possible light. Access to your structure is typically more easily obtainable at this point as well.


To stretch your photography budget, contact other interested parties such as the owner, occupant (if different), your subcontractors, etc. We are happy to divide the Creative Fee equally between multiple parties, and if you bring on even one other party, you have already saved yourself 50% of the creative fee. So, as you can see, the savings can be significant.


We view ourselves as part of your team, and hopefully a long-term member you can count on. We'll work with you to create images that bring in more projects, which thus needs to be photographed. We all win!




Whether you were there or not, and whether we are your photographer on a project or not, if you have any questions or comments about commissioning architectural photography, please feel free to drop us a line anytime. We'd be happy to help!
