Having all of your marketing materials produced by the same source will maintain a cohesive look for your brand and it's more efficent to produce. Let's talk, I'd love to hear your ideas and offer solutions to your video needs.
Yes, for clients who have the ability to do their own in-house video editing or are working with a branding agency, we can provide a selection of "b-roll" video sequences to the client. This option is best for clients who don't necessarily need a finished video production but want to have relevant video content for their website and social campaigns.

Pricing
I operate based on two basic fees: Creative Fee and Post Production Fees
Creative Fee: This fee represents the time and skill necessary to complete the project including client meetings, shot list preparation and the actual shoot itself.Also included is my standard usage license ( editorial, trade show display, corporate collateral, social media (photo credit required), award submissions, trade publications and wall display)
Post Production Fee: Following a shoot, I spend a significant amount of time editing the final images and/ or video to make them true portfolio pieces. This includes color correction, compositing and preparing the final master files for distribution. Post production often takes just as much time as the shoot itself and sometimes more.
Cost sharing is the best way to maximize the production of a shoot and lower your cost. In many of my architectural projects there are several additional parties that could benefit from the images: Architects, Designers, Landscape Architects, Builders, Engineers, Furniture Designers, Real Estate Brokerages, Subcontractors etc. I charge a licensing fee for each additional party, then divide the total fee by the number of parties involved. This results in a huge savings for each client.
Cost Sharing only works if all parties are onboard prior to the shoot.
The best way to lower the cost of production is to use the Cost Sharing model highlighted above. The more parties you can get involved in the shoot, the less expensive it is for everyone.
Yes. For smaller interior design shoots where a client only needs 5-7 images, a half day can work.
For larger multi-day projects, we can add a half day as needed to round out the shot list as requested.

Once I receive your selects, an invoice is emailed to you. Payment is online via credit card or bank transfer. The selected image files are then emailed via a Dropbox link in 3 different resolutions to suit your needs.

It represents the most common uses of portfolio imagery for these clients. If you need more usage or an entirely different type of use, (advertising, retail, hotel) I can fashion a license specific to your needs.
Third-Party usage is NOT included with our Standard license. Any other parties who would like to use the images must obtain a usage license from the photographer in order to avoid Copyright infringement.
Yes. Organic social media use by licensees is included in my standard usage license. I simply require a photo credit on all client social media posts: @TravisRowanMedia
