Getting the Most out of your Event Photographer!

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

 When planning your Event always meet with the Photographer taking the actual photos.  You both need to be on the same page to maximize your Branding opportunities.   Always go with an Experienced photographer in the field of your event.  Meaning if you are planning a Gala Award Night make sure you hire a Photographer that has previous experience in this field.   Make sure that you always ask for sample photos of past events.  Protect yourself and Protect your BRAND.

Have you Networked lately?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

In the new economy networking is so important for survival.  Some tips for networking that I have learned along the way. 

1.  Get to know your potential client.  Don’t just start selling your product on them.

2.  Follow-up with your potential client the next day.

3.  Be genuine.  Don’t be a used car sales person.

4.  Pair yourself with quality partners.

Networking has made this professional photography company who it is today.  Remember to get out there and work the room correctly and things will happen for you too.

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 insurance 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..

So, you have a Corporate Event?

Monday, June 21st, 2010

    Corporate Photography Services have been offered by Christies Photographic Studios for over 28 years.  In today’s economy ROI is so important to corporations.  Photographs can add ROI to any event documentation.  The saying is “A photo is worth a thousand words”.  So, picture this, you are about to present to a large client and you have nothing to show them.  Will they choose your company?  (Maybe / Maybe Not)  If you had hired a Professional Photography Company the photos could have shown last year’s event or your latest product on display, assisting you in getting this large client.   So the next time you are thinking about your budget make sure you include a Professional Photographer to document your event.
