Consultation Meeting
Before we can embark on any project we go through a consultation meeting. In it we go through the clients vision and hopes for the project. We also take time to analyze if there is better way to achieve the desired result. Once we have finalized the concept we move to figuring out the shoot requirements and finalizing the date of the shoot. If possible we do advise that a site visit is done prior to the day of the shoot in order for more accurate lighting and visual planning.
Day of the Shoot
To ensure we can start on time the team for the shoot will arrive as early as possible to get accustomed to the environment and set up prior to the planned starting time. Once we have captured the required content we perform a quick browse through the images with the client. We finish off the shoot with a quick rundown of the remaining procedures.
Post Production
Post production of the images depends on the type of shoot done and the client requirements. Every shoot however we ensure that the images are cleaned up and color corrected.Event shoots are treated with the basic retouching unless advised otherwise. Individual shoots and couple shoots are treated with the intermediate retouching unless advised otherwise. Fashion and Beauty shoots are treated with High-End retouching. The following is a breakdown of the levels of editing available to the client:
