No matter what service you are buying, some businesses might be tempted to give you a very attractive low quote, and then load the invoice with ‘extras’ once you are halfway through a project and therefore committed.
Whether it is a one-off PR head shot for Facebook or a larger scale commercial, industrial or architectural photography project, it is fundamentally professional and essential to supply a written quote before work starts. This should clearly outline exactly what you will get based on the information you the client has provided.
Inside Out Photography have always felt passionately about providing an accurate and realistic quote. If during the course of a project additional work is requested, we will inform you of any further costs before proceeding.
Once again if the price seems ‘too good to be true’ then your instincts are likely to be accurate.
Regardless of what you pay for something, if you end up not being happy to use it, it was expensive!
Your image is your future: trust it to a true professional!

This can legally restrict where, in what form, and for how long images can be used by clients. Further fees may then apply if you wish to continue using the images, in addition to the original settled invoice. It is important to clarify these copyright issues before you commission any photographer.

Photographers specialise in particular types of photography often closely connected with a particular sector of industry and manufacturing. It is therefore quite likely that they will have other clients in your line of business.
Commercial photographers are regularly privy to future business expansion plans, product releases or new contracts. It is essential that YOUR privileged information remains private, if your chosen photographer is willing to give you information about your competitors; it is very likely that they will also discuss your plans with others!

Some photographers may exercise their statutory legal rights as the ‘author’ of an image to impose what is called an ‘image use licence’. This can legally restrict how long, where, and in what form images are used by clients, even after the original invoice is settled.
This often results in a photographer issuing a subsequent additional invoice 12 – 24 months following the date of the original invoice if the images are still being used by you, the client.
It is important to clarify these copyright issues before you commission any photographer.

Many clients are surprised at how much effort goes into quality professional photography and accordingly are sometimes initially concerned about how quickly a shoot is progressing.
In IOP’s experience any early reservations are always dispelled once clients start to view results, see the quality of the resulting images and begin to understand why so much time and effort is worthwhile. It truly is a case of the more time and effort put into a shoot is paid back in the end product.
However, a successful photographic shoot requires a team effort, below you will find some tips on what you the client can do in advance to ensure you get the most out of our time on the shoot day.
Exteriors:If you require exterior photographs, please plan your deadlines to allow for possible sustained poor weather. This increases the likelihood of the photographer being able to shoot under optimum lighting conditions.
Site preparation: Ensure as much as is practical that machinery, or areas to be photographed are tidy, and remove anything in the subject area and background that you would prefer not to show. Any products to be photographed need to be perfect specimens.
This will help to avoid time-expensive delays waiting for areas to be cleaned and ensure that photography time on site is as efficient as possible.
Staff Availability: When on site IOP aim to be as independent as possible, however it is vital that you ensure that any staff with essential knowledge of the processes to be photographed will definitely be present and available on the shoot-date.
This will avoid any tensions if the photographer requires input or co-operation input from busy staff. Advanced planning by you and your staff will assist the photographer to give you the best result possible capturing exactly what to need to show and will help to keep costs down.
Deadlines: In a similar vein, ensure you let your photographer know as early as possible about any deadlines you need to meet as well as any logistical time restrictions regarding the optimum time any particular process or person is best photographed.
Having said all of the above IOP are professional to the core and will always work within any necessary restrictions. Bernard O’Sullivan founder of IOP has never missed a deadline in Thirty-Eight years of being a professional photographer.

Most of us know, that it is a legal requirement, under UK law, for anyone in business to take out Public Liability Insurance (PLI). However, don’t assume all photographers will comply! If you have doubts, ask for proof!
In addition to the compulsory PLI, it is wise to ensure that your chosen photographer, also has ‘Professional Indemnity Insurance’ (PLI). So, what is the difference between PLI and PLI? In, the event of a dispute regarding late or non-delivery etc by the photographer PLI provides some financial compensation.
A prime example would be if a client had booked expensive exhibition space was unable to reap the maximum benefits due to the photographer failing to deliver the images in time for the exhibition panels or brochures to be delivered.
In this instance, although it won’t undo any embarrassment you experienced at the time, at least you will be able to claim for the associated costs of mounting an unsuccessful exhibition and out-of-pocket expenses.

Whether you require images of your new office building, your workforce or a new product range, the images you use need to capture attention almost instantly.
Naturally when it comes to choice of equipment photographers have personal preferences. However, it is reasonable to expect a certain standard of equipment.
Although it is true that images purely for web-use do not need to be high-resolution, they have to stand out, many subjects require sophisticated lighting techniques using a myriad of light shaping accessories that will help to make your manufacturing line and products come alive.
It is not acceptable to turn up to a shoot at a high-tech factory with a hand-held camera with a single flash, it will not help to represent your company at its best.
