How you Gain
Product and brand photo shoots can become expensive and lots of planning goes into them. Even getting consistent content for your social media can be exhausting. This is an organized event where the heavy lifting of planning is all done for you by a professional celebrity fashion, prop stylist and event designer .
Photographers: You show up and take the photos in an atmosphere of beautifully styled vignettes with models and props. You can select the types of customers you are trying to attract by what you shoot. As photog you are asked to release at least 40 images at minimum complimentary to attendees. It works in your favor to choose great ones because they will also act as advertisement for you every time a participant posts and credits you. Any images you would like to sell or release to participants there after is of your choosing.
​
Business ( Service or Product based ) : you gain photos of your work or product that is stunning and sometimes from several photographers' creative aspects, depending on whom signs up for the shoot. Additionally photos of yourself working or portraying the lifestyle your clients want to see or be living. You being in the photos for headshots or working shots can be arranged.
​

Q: What does a styled shoot do for your business?
The photos you receive are great for your social media and marketing efforts but also a great networking opportunity. There's no one better than another small business owner to gain business from or a referral from. Additionally all in or taking photos get a list of whom to credit when posting or using for certain marketing. This boosts your visibility.
