A Night with the Pros:
The Business of Corporate and Architectural Photography
w/ Steve Whittaker
"It’s an art form but it’s also a business."

The business aspects of commercial and architectural photography encompass many aspects that constantly require attention. Estimating, licensing issues, scouting assignments, creating that shoot 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 authorization. All of these areas need to be conveyed to the client. This presentation covers all of that and more.



Topics to be covered include:
  • Estimating, contracts, stock issues
  • Assignment project coordination
  • Permits, release forms, film commissions
  • Risk Management, safety issues 
  • Assignment preparation, scouting
  • Assignment execution / post production
  • Case studies-business, lighting and safety issues
  • Case Studies: assignments / copyright infringement
  • Post-production
This event is free to all (members and nonmembers) but we do ask that you register using the button on the left.
