HOW WE WORK

 
 

Artificial Studios has over 18 years of expertise in photography and managing shoots across a variety of industries and businesses and with diverse communities and cultures. We are sought after for our unobtrusive style where dynamic visuals need to be captured and a high degree of sensitivity is required.

Our approachable, relaxed, and experienced photographers are experts when it comes to getting a smile out of even the most nervous star and we showcase them in an authentic and natural way. We guarantee a positive and fun experience for everyone involved.

Artificial Studios has a COVID-Safe plan in place and provides a customised job safety analysis for each shoot to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely.

Our Process & Workflow

We work with you from the beginning to create a strategy to produce your project on time and on budget. Through our years of experience, we have developed a strong process that keeps you involved and in the loop to ensure the best outcome. Check out our workflow below.

Design Strategy

Concept and design are critical stages of the photography process. We discuss initial concepts and/or mock-ups to establish the look and feel of the photos. After developing the concept and design of your project we consider your goals, audience and the value this imagery will provide to that audience. This helps us formulate a visual design that will do justice to your campaign. We then develop a strategy and timeline to produce your photos on time and on budget.

Pre-production

We scout locations to find ones that offer the best visual impact. We often visit venues before the day of the shoot to ensure we have a thorough understanding of the space and adhere to any OH&S requirements. A schedule will then be drafted to get the most out of the shoot day.

Photo Shoot

On the day of the shoot, our experienced and friendly team will make even the shyest person feel comfortable in front of the camera. We understand when a high degree of sensitivity is needed and, if required, we preserve subjects’ anonymity and ensure permission slips are signed. We will approach the shoot unobtrusively while focusing on capturing dynamic images.

We also offer drone and time-lapse photography if required. 

Post-production and Delivery

After the shoot we edit and process the photos so you end up with a strong collection of images that you can use across a wide range of media. You will have access to all the high-resolution and web-ready images. All the photos and permission slips will be delivered via Hightail. The post-production stage includes:

  • Transferring files to computer

  • Backup of all files

  • Colour balance

  • Basic retouching

  • Converting raw files to high and low-resolution JPEGs
