A Melbourne hybrid shooter making the photos and films that show what a business does well, and feed its network: website, YouTube, LinkedIn and social, with paid ads when they are part of the plan.
Most briefs call for a photographer and a videographer. As a hybrid shooter I cover both on the one day, so the headshots, the story driven film, the social media video cuts and the product shots come from the same light and the same brief. One person on site, one invoice, and a photo library that matches the films. For films alone, see brand videography.
Six films from brand and product work. Select a tile to play it in the page.
Yes, that is the point of a hybrid shooter. Stills and video come off the same setups on the one day, so you book one person instead of two crews and the library matches the films.
A photo library for the website, LinkedIn and social, headshots of the team, a story driven film and a set of social media video cuts, all graded to one look and delivered through one link.
Every shoot is a fixed fee against the brief, because the number of setups drives the day, not the hours. Tell me what the images must do and where they will live, and the scope comes back beside the price.
Usually not. Most brand work is better on location, in your own premises, because that is what makes it yours. I bring a portable setup for product work, and book a studio only when a brief needs one.
Yes. Event coverage sits inside the same brief, so a launch, an open day or a conference gets the stills and the social media cuts from the one shooter, graded to match the rest of the library.
Less than people expect. Headshots run about ten minutes a person once the lighting is set, so a team of fifteen is a morning on a schedule rather than a lost day.
Yes. Send the brand guide or a few frames you like and the lighting, colour and crop are set to it before the day, so the new work sits beside what you already publish.
A preview gallery of selects within about three business days, so you have something to work with straight away. The full graded set follows in ten to fifteen business days, and video runs a little longer for its revision round.
Yes. A commercial licence covers paid and organic use across every platform, with no separate media buyout later. Where a shoot uses hired talent, their usage is a separate term, quoted up front.
That is a briefing problem, so it is solved before the camera comes out. We agree the shot list and the look up front, and I show you frames on the day while there is still time to change direction.
No brand guide yet is fine. I build the guide, the logo, the graphics and the motion templates, then plan, shoot and cut the content and hand it back, or schedule it for you.
