How I Work: My Luxury Brand Photography Workflow
As a premier luxury brand photographer, I specialize in capturing the essence of luxury hotels, resorts, architectural design, and interior design through a meticulous and collaborative process. My goal is to create exceptional, high-quality visuals that elevate your brand’s identity and resonate with your target audience.
From initial consultation to final delivery, every step is crafted to ensure your property’s unique charm is showcased in the best possible light. Here’s a look at how I work.
-
The foundation of every successful shoot is a comprehensive plan. We begin by understanding your brand’s vision and collaborating to ensure that we accurately capture your property’s essence.
Key Steps Include:
Shoot List: We begin by discussing the key elements you’d like to highlight in your shoot. This ensures that we capture the most important features of your property.
Site Recce: Before the shoot, I’ll conduct a location scout to evaluate the best angles, compositions, and any props that may be necessary for the shoot.
Collaborative Composition: Together, we’ll review compositions and lighting strategies to ensure we’re aligned on every detail before the shoot begins.
-
On shoot day, I aim to start early to maximize the time available for each shot. This approach allows me to work without the stress of rushed timelines, ensuring the highest quality results.
What You Can Expect:
Collaboration: Throughout the shoot, I work closely with you, reviewing images in real-time to make adjustments to compositions, props, and lighting as needed.
Lighting: As lighting is a crucial element of my work, I focus on ensuring each shot is beautifully lit to highlight the elegance of your space.
Efficiency: I typically aim to capture 8-10 images per day, depending on the space and complexity. Larger areas such as ballrooms or exteriors may take longer, but no detail is overlooked.
-
Post-production is where the magic happens. I meticulously edit each image to ensure it meets the highest standards, from exposure and color correction to lighting adjustments.
What Happens During Post-Production:
Editing Process: Each image is carefully edited to remove blemishes, adjust exposure, and enhance colors for a flawless final result.
Composite Photography: Many of my shots are composites, created from multiple exposures to ensure the lighting and compositions look natural yet perfectly lit.
Final Touches: After the initial edit, I conduct an additional round of retouching to give each image a high level of polish.
-
Here’s a breakdown of the base pricing for my services. Please note, prices may vary depending on the scope of the project, including shoot dates, number of images, and location. I use a sliding scale for larger or more complex assignments to ensure fairness and customization for each project.
