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.

Travelling Photographer with Conferences

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Retaining a photographic company who can travel with you can yield many benefits.

  • First, you know the quality you will receive which is very important as you have spent a lot of time and money to create a powerful learning and/or sales environment. These photos can and will be used for years to market future programs by showing the success’s of the past.
  • Secondly, by travelling with your company the photographers learn what you and your staff desire within the photographic world. This makes both you and your company familiar and comfortable with the end product.  Also by having the same photographers, you as the meeting planner will have one less item to worry about.

 A traveling photographer shouldn’t be as much about cost as it is about capturing the essence of your event thereby creating innumerable marketing opportunities all the while keeping you and your team satisfied.

Photo ART as decor!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

So this past week, our Las Vegas office worked with a client to take live shots of their attendees and transpose them into pieces of Artwork on large screens throughout the space.  Andy Warhol was the theme of the evening so we transposed our professional images into digital artwork that changed the look of the room throughout the evening.  What a great way to use two separate items on the budget to create something effectively unique and crowd pleasing during the event.  Call us today to create a masterpiece together.

It creates a feeling of familiarity and trust valued by clients and comrades alike. Relationship marketing is a key to long lasting professional friendships.

    Traveling Professional Photography

    Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

    Whether you’re a part of show management, an association or corporate meeting planner a photographer who knows and understands your needs and culture is so very important. This often calls for a photographer or photographic company that is able to travel with clients to their next meeting site. 

    It will certainly relieve the meeting planner knowing your CEO or President enjoy working with the person responsible for putting them in a good light. Having a photographer who can travel with you and knows your needs can relieve that stress that comes with “babysitting”.

     Building a rapport with your photographer can make that part of your job less stressful and more productive. And you might be surprised as some companies will accommodate travel costs to earn business they might not have otherwise received.
