FAQs
|
Can I use my conference and event photographs however I like?
|
Once you receive the photographs, they are yours to use however you like. The files will be print ready, and are ideal for annual reports, brochures, posters, and billboards. They can also be shared on your website, online advertising, and in your social media. The world is your oyster! Heather can also resize images if needed for a specific purpose.
|
|
Can I receive my photographs quicker?
|
In most instances, yes your photos can be edited and sent to you earlier than four days. This will depend on the size of the event, and may incur an additional charge.
|
|
How many photographs will I receive?
|
This will depend on the size of the event or conference, and the number of people attending. As a guide, a three day conference with >500 attendees will usually result in no fewer than 300 photographs.
|
|
The event venue is quite dark - can you still take photographs there?
|
Low-light event and conference photography is not a problem. Heather carefully works without a flash during keynote speeches, candid moments, and presentations to avoid distractions for guests, and we can provide lighting for banner and posed photographs and for the dancefloor snaps!
|
|
What factors will affect pricing?
|
Every event and conference is unique, and your quote will depend on a number of variables including the length of the event, the number of attendees, the venue location, and special requests.
