Wednesday, December 15th, 2010Incentive Travel Photography
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010Make sure when you are planning your next incentive trip you add photographic documentation to your budget. What a great way to create an incentive for your sales staff to exceed their goals for next years trip, by showing them this past trip. Incentive Trips have received some negative press these days. We can change that by showing the volunteer hours these trips include through Press Releases and Media outlets through photography. So, the next time, you are planning an incentive trip remember to book your professional photographer to document the event.

Recently in Orlando
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
Recently, Orlando had (7) photographers with lights and backgrounds they (14) assistants for one job at the Hilton Bonnet Creek Resort. Not only did we provided the staff but we also provided prints onsite. Make sure that when you have a large event that your Professional Photography Company can handle everything that is stated in the proposal. Questions to ask..
1. How many photographers do you have on staff?
2. What is the largest job you have completed in one day?
3. What type of liability i
nsurance and what is your coverage?
4. Ask for samples of the their work.
5. What is the policy if we change items on-site?
6. Make sure you get everything in writing.
Professional Event Photography
Monday, July 12th, 2010” I have my own camera” So you ask yourself ”Why do I need to hire a Professional Event Photographer?” Here are some urban myths regarding Professional Event Photography.
1. Professional Event Photography is too expense…. Not true… Your ROI can be based on the documentation photos that your photographer took. You need to make sure that the photographer is professional trained because Seeing is Believing and a photo is worth 1000 words..
2. I have my own camera so I can point and shot….. true however as creative as you are we have staff photographer that have been in the industry for over 27 years. They are trained to capture angles, lights, and environmental atomsphere in a way that will bring your audience back to that moment.. Making those that were not present wish they were present and making your next event even better..
3. Not in the budget this year. Most events have a Marketing Budget that your photographic needs can be placed in because you are going to use the photos for Marketing your upcoming future events.
So hiring a Professional Event Photographer actually saves you time and potentially adds to your ROI..
