Monthly content photography

I've been working with a few local companies on an ongoing basis, where I come in each month and shoot whatever their marketing needs, and I pitch in on the marketing side too.

A month

I come in and photograph what your marketing needs that month. Posts, the blog, before and after galleries, the sales deck. I pitch in on the marketing side too.

The foundation crew below gets five days a month, weekly on site. I go where the crew goes, and for them I write the content too.

The first thing I want to know is what the photos are for. Once that's clear, the rest is easy.

Why monthly

One day can cover your website. An ongoing relationship is different, because you know exactly what you're getting and it keeps adding up. Stack a few months and you've got the whole year in pictures, a bit like the holiday cards you get from friends you haven't talked to in ages.

What I need from you

What you post, and what you wish you had pictures of. If there's a shot list or a schedule, send those too, because I'd rather know before I'm on site.

What you get back

A private gallery at full resolution, usually in one to two weeks.

A content engagement with a foundation crew

A foundation repair company in Ashburn, Virginia was already posting and needed better pictures to work with. So I go where the crew goes: five days a month, weekly on site.

What I photographed

  • The excavator against the house, the bucket, the operator in the cab.
  • The piers: stacked steel in raking light, then driven and bracketed under the footing.
  • Hands and gloves in the dirt.
  • The caution flag, the truck, the arrival.
  • In Alexandria, the crew under the house and the steel piers.

What it's for

Their blog, before and after galleries, social and the sales deck. I did the photography and the written content, and I can run the same setup for the next contractor.

The details

  • Client: foundation restoration company
  • Type of work: photography and written content
  • Cadence: five days a month, weekly on site

Questions I get

How many days a month?

Five days a month, weekly on site, is what the foundation crew gets. Yours depends on what you post and what you need. Tell me and I'll say what makes sense.

Is it just photos?

I photograph, and I pitch in on the marketing side too. For the foundation crew that includes written content.

Where do you work?

I'm based in Northern Virginia, so inside the DC metro there's no travel line. I also travel for clients.

Who can use the photos?

You can. The photos are yours. I keep the right to show them in my portfolio, and if you need a time limit or exclusivity on that, tell me and we'll work it out.

How do I start?

Tell me what you post and what you wish you had pictures of. I'll tell you what I'd photograph.

Planning this?
