Securing the right Photographer, Makeup Artist, Stylist, Model and Videographer for your project.
Imagine going through the stress and creative barrier after investing a whole lot in creating a master piece and then you end up deciding to use “just any photographer” because you assume “everyone labelled a photographer do and deliver same thing”.
NO! all photographers or filmmakers are not the same, theres a difference in the experience, skill, time and resource invested in the craft. This term or narrative (thinking all creatives are the same) has been imbedded in quite a whole lot of people such as fashion designers, beauty or cosmetic brand owners, who have this perception and opt for any photographer, then end up making their product look like trash after all the investment made in creating them and therefore not making you reach your desired goals or reach your targeted market.
The idea behind this post is simply to educate the people or brands.
A photographer or videographer isn’t out there to rip you off with there prices, but this creatives basically put a price on their art and style, thereby giving you the price that best suit the project you bring to them. But because, the industry is crowded with lot of creatives wanting to get quick jobs at the expense of mediocre deliveries.
A client tend to get confused when comparing prices a professional photographer, makeup artist, videographer, fashion stylist and hair stylist. Most people fall for this scam by mediocre, as it is human to opt for what takes less money off our pocket which can give almost same satisfaction, therefore falling short of looking into the creative style and finish of the professional a client wants to hire.
Yes i know, expensive doesn’t necessarily mean Best, but looking at the clear fact 80% of the time expensive means: Better service, better deliveries, better process, and all round BETTER.
The reason a creative in this context a photographer, might decide to have his/her price higher than most is best known to him/her as he could have a team of stylist, makeup artist, retoucher/editor on ground ready to give you the best you require, and all this comes at a cost you know?
Finally, i would like brands/clients to know better on not just jump on any person who calls himself a creative because he/she charges way less than another. Kindly take time out to check this creative portfolio and compare and contrast before reaching a decision, so you don’t end up regretting your decisions in the long-run and end up spending more.
