Major Event/Portrait Shoot

Overview: As a professional Commercial Photographer, one of your major sources of income will likely be event and portrait photography. Let's review some of the types of events and portraits that we can do on campus and begin figuring out what you will do as a project.

Upcoming Events:
Military Ball
Spring Show
Prom (Photo Booth with Ms. Alaniz. She needs on-site photographers and people to process green screen photos at school after the event.)
5K is scheduled for May 21

Possibilities:
Athletics banquets (baseball, softball, etc.)
Fine Arts banquets (band, theater, Diamonds, etc.)
Other club banquets
Seniors wanting senior portraits

Directions: 

Step 1: Begin contacting groups on campus that need an event photographed.

Step 2: Interview the client and ask them what they need.

What time is the event?
Where is the event?
What kinds of photos do they want?
Do they need anything special?
Make clear to the client that you will not be providing prints on-site.

Step 3: Make a price list of the client.
Make a price list for the client. Use the InDesign Files on Trello to make a discount and a regular price list for the client.

Preparation Assignment: 

On your student blog, make a new blog post and provide the following information:

1. What is the most likely scenario for what you will do for your Event/Portrait photography assignment.

2. Who is the primary contact?

3. When is the event?

4. Where is the event?

5. What kinds of photos do they want?
