PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT INFO PACK

MARKETING IS NO LONGER ABOUT THE STUFF YOU MAKE BUT ABOUT THE STORIES YOU TELL.”

HEY! I'M LEESHA FOUNDER OF ONYX BRANDING CO Onyx Branding Co offers branding and product photography and mentoring to help small and medium sized businesses to reach their business goals. Using my years of knowledge and experience, I decided to start Onyx to help other businesses elevate their content, so that they can become successful and confident in their brand. Onyx is perfect for any creative business, but I’m especially passionate about championing black and brown owned businesses who want to learn how they can create better photography content to level up their brand and appeal to their target audience.

WHY HAVE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS? THE ONE THING THAT MAKES YOUR BUSINESS UNIQUE IS YOU. One thing I get asked a lot is...why have a professional photographer? The way you present yourself and your brand online influences the kind of clients that you attract. No one knows this better than me after launching two separate creative businesses to two separate audiences, the way your brand and content looks will have a direct impact on your client base. In today’s world, clients buy from the person. They want to get to know you and what you have to offer, they’re not interested in seeing stock photos as they don’t truly represent your brand. Having a professional photographer who has a creative eye to capture eye catching images is worth it's weight in gold, it means that your work will be seen by more people, which equals more sales and engagement among your products.

WHY IS PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY IMPORTANT? PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY TO DRAW IN YOUR IDEAL CLIENT Professional photography for your products could mean the difference between someone engaging and purchasing your products and them scrolling past them. When we're shopping instore, we know that it's about the experience as well as the product itself and the same goes for online shopping or browsing in print magazines at products. Having great eye-catching imagery that appeals to your target audience will help showcase your brand and pull in you ideal client. We know that lifestyle images are the ones that sell but trying to replicate them at home is not always as easy as it seems. As a business owner, your images, branding and overall online presence is the first thing potential clients see when they reach out to you. With the amount of small businesses rising every week, brands are finding it harder to stand out and capture people's attention, but the one thing that can set you aside from other businesses is your online presence and your content. Your products are unique, they're made with love and you've put all of your drive, passion, creativity into them so why wouldn’t you show that off with professional imagery?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HOW DO WE BOOK A SESSION WITH YOU? If you would like to book in for a product session, then the first thing to do is to pop me an email and I will set a date for us to chat more over zoom so I can get to learn more about you and your business and so we can figure out all of the important details. After that, I’ll send you a booking form and invoice and we’ll schedule a date for your session and I’ll be on hand in the run-up to go through any questions or ideas you may have. After the session I will select the best images from the RAW files and I'll edit them in a clean and bright style that reflects your products accurately. Once the images are all edited, I’ll upload them to your gallery in print and online resolution for you to use.

DO THE IMAGES CONTAIN WATERMARKS/LOGOS AND DO WE HAVE FULL USAGE RIGHTS? The edited images will not contain any of my logos or watermarks and are free for you to use however you please. If/where possible, I'd love a credit as the photographer but understand that this isn't always under your control. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE THE IMAGES? The edited images will live and available to download approx. two weeks after your session but I'll always edit a handful of images before that for you to use and share, if you're working to a specific deadline, please let me know beforehand so I can check our diary and make sure we can accomodate you.

HOW DOES SHOOT AND SHIP WORK? STEP ONE: DISCOVERY CALL AND IDEA PLANNING The first thing we'll do is chat over zoom so I can get to learn more about you and your business and so we can figure out the important details. Then I'll invite you to collaborate on a shared Pinterest board so that we can get more of a visual idea pinned down. After that, I’ll send you a booking form and invoice and we’ll schedule a date for your session. STEP TWO: POSTAGE AND SHOOOTING Once we've agreed a shoot date, I'll send you my details and you'll ship out the products to me. Please make sure that they arrive at least two working days before the shoot and that they are well packaged and correctly labelled. We also ask that you cover return shipping. Once I've received your products, I'll begin planning the concepts based on the Pinterest board and photographing them. I'll send you updates and snippets over email/social media in this time as well. STEP THREE: GALLERY DELIVERY AND RETURN POSTAGE After the shoot, I'll then edit the best selection of images and upload the proofs to your gallery. Once you've received your proofs and okayed them I'll ship the products back to you and finish editing your images. Once the final images are edited I'll upload the print and online sized files to the same gallery ready for you to download.

LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU SOON!
