A question that frequently comes my way is “do I need to hire different photographers for different types of photography on a large project?” The simple answer is, not necessarily. There is a tier of photographer with the training, experience, and aptitude to be able to handle this type of complex shoot – and do it very well.
Scenario 1
Let’s take the example of resort photography. They need outdoor and indoor photography of buildings, amenities such as golf, hiking trails, shopping, and local points of interest.
Food and entertainment would naturally be included which could include shots of food,
and of course restaurants, and the resort environment.
No photoshoot is complete without “people” shots for example, guests enjoying themselves in a spectacular setting.
The headaches of scheduling multiple photographers, not to mention costs are obvious. A far better option is to have one person do it all.
Scenario 2
A business relocating to a new facility frequently needs multiple types of photography. This could include architectural photography showcasing their new facilities and offices. In addition, it is likely this would be a good time to update product shots in the studio and in the market, staff images, and perhaps ancillary shots for a new website or brochure. Like the first scenario it is far easier hiring and managing just one photographer instead of several. (Easier on the wallet too.)
Seeing it in Action

While I love my specialty of Architectural Photography I’m frequently called upon to handle complex projects with multiple needs. It saves my clients time, hassles and costs – as well as providing a better end product since the project is undertaken in a holistic manner versus many people contributing pieces.
If you have a complex shoot on the horizon I offer two important services at no charge to you:
· A free brainstorming session to identify and formulate great images that tell your story.
· A free preshoot walk-through to stage shots, identify opportunities and very importantly to forestall issues. (You would be surprised at how many disasters have been preempted by a thorough project walk through.)
This process allows me to understand your objectives, make suggestions, plan out the shoot and then provide photography that wows your audience. If you’re in the Boston area or greater New England, I hope you’ll reach out to me at Shupe Studios.
