COST SAVING APPROACH FOR YOUR BRAND'S PHOTOGRAPHS

NICE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE? Good photos and visuals help to amplify your brand aesthetically, making it appear more convincing towards the first glance of your audience. But to get the right photograph and theme in a desirable fashion towards your brand can really be costly and tricky. But what if its possible to design your brand's photography visuals without burning a hole in your wallet?

HERE ARE 3 out of a FEW APPROACHES that we have done to workaround for our clients budget so they can focus on design and marketing budget more.

APPROACH 1: PLAN AND NEGOTIATE

If you need good photography for a professional website and are on a tight budget to engage a professional photographer. Do some planning, research and create a visual mood board on how you want your photos will be taken or take some photos from your phone as an example. Even better if you plan the props, and settings, location etc.

Then go negotiate with photographers for a better pricing stating you have done all the tedious work and you need them to be creative and take shots with reference.

They will actually consider a more reasonable price according to your budget since you have done all the tedious work behind it.

APPROACH 2: LOOK FOR HUNGRY EAGER PHOTOGRAPHERS

Even with the visual directions and all the tedious work you have done in APPROACH 1, some photographers will still charge you the whole package, so you can try emailing design schools explaining it is a win-win situation for their students/school and your business as well. They will be glad to participate. But take note that most students require close supervision. School projects and actual projects are 2 different things.

APPROACH 3: THE RIGHT STOCK IMAGES

Another cost-saving approach is you can purchase a stock image which falls into the similar category on for your landing page & promotional page. But for this approach, it is best to reference your competitor's photography direction or even consult/engage a designer.

NOTE: Quality of the end product on this approaches depends on the depth of your research, the artistic understanding of the visuals and how you manage the project.
