Back to basics - Product photography in South Florida

"As a photographer, I understand the power of images.
If you are looking for instant recognition and impeccable presentation of your
products, look not further."

I combine state-of-the-art digital equipment and lighting to produce
high-quality images of your goods, which can be generated as digital images
and/or be used as part of your marketing material (business cards, postcards,
website, brochures, ads, etc.)

I heart product photography

I've been working with MelonTreeBaby.com for over a year and I love the dynamic we developed, even though I'm in South Florida and they are in Texas, we are pretty much on the same page.
From taking pictures of their products to doing some modeling images as well, it feels good to know they know I'm just a click away and ready to go.
What do I think about the legwarmers? Love them! great quality and the designs are sweet... one for every style out there.

I just discovered Facebook

The fact I've being sick didn't help at all to make this week to pass by... FAST!

What a productive day!... How did it happen?

I've been sick as a dog :(
So I don't know if it was the overdose with nightime medication and
the fact that nothing really put me to sleep but... what a productive day!
I started doing product photography with model for Girlinadress.com (coming soon)
and you are not going to believe the creativity behind the designer (9 yrs. old
girl) and her partner in biz: mom.
I'll give you more info when their website is up & running.
Rosie

On the road again...

I have to admit... there is nothing more relaxing (for me) than to hit
the road, forget about everything (yes, EVERYTHING) and enjoy the ride.
I have not much time for it these days but I needed so bad...

Now, I'm back! What's new for this upcoming week?
Well, two different editorials want to write about my Bride on-a-budget
services so I'm starting my Monday super excited!
I have plenty of work to take care of so better for me grab another cup
of coffee and... make it happens.
I have new stuff from MelonTreeBaby.com
Sweet 4 September items just arrived as well.
6 more books to go out of 7 for a client who wants to put together their 2008
trips in coffee table books and give them as presents for Xmas to his friends &
family. Cool idea! (over 3,000 photos... not joking)
Later,
Rosie :)

What's NEW this week?

Well, I can't complaint at all.
The best part of this business is I never get a chance
to get bored. Every week there are new, challenged
projects just waiting for me to take care of.

for YPP from Sydney, Australia. I wish I was there, the
landscapes are amazing!

just in time for the Holidays promos.
- I have a Baptism session going on next Sunday...
Ta-ta for now,
Rosie :)

"Absolutely first class photographer! Rosie took superb product photos
and the turn around was even faster than she promised. Our company will
continue to use Rosie and I would recommend her without hesitation to
anyone needing photography services.
Thank you," - Denise Browder from Melontree

Product Photography - The little fine print just became bigger!

Potential client - Hi Rosie, I had contacted you awhile back regarding photography services. I need someone to redo the product photos on my site as they do not look professional enough for catalog use. I have 33 designs with 20+ more coming soon. Please remind me of your terms and pricing.

Rosie - Glad to hear from you.
I could do... Return shipping charges not included.
Let me know if you are ok with it... Once we agree on this project I'll be sending you a Paypal invoice for the entire amount prior to the photo session. I can take care of this project within 7 days...

Potential client - Can you give me specifics on copyright, terms, etc? Can I purchase
unlimited use? I have web vendors who will use the photos on their sites as well as myself.
I am willing to pay more per image to have the copyright. The important thing is that the images all look the same. The problem that I have now is that the images on my site are sloppy looking in that they don't match and some of the backgrounds are showing up.
$xx.xx seems too cheap for your work in erasing the backgrounds, etc... I need someone who can "match" previous work. Can you do this? We are a brand new company and are starting to get noticed.

Rosie - My comments are, I do charge what I charge cause' I want to get long term contracts with my clients and I actually do.
I prefer to charge $xx.xx for a long time than give you a ridiculous price and just get a batch of products from you.
If you visit my website you'll notice I do place a couple of my customers pics as samples and part of my portfolio but they don't have any other use for me: Jobs done!
I can create a paper saying I transfer the rights of the pics to you, doesn't really make a difference to me.
I really prefer for you to take as much advantage of the images I create for you as you can, so that gives ME a good reputation, you know... word of mouth.
Cause' the way I work and the way I set it up every time I start a photoshoot I really make it easy on me, same set up all the time, just different items.
To be honest with you, if the pictures are taken correctly with the right equipment there is not much work to do while editing.
Yes, in this market i could charge you $xxx.xx a piece but... my target clientele are small businesses like yours and mine so I know in a way, product photography is a luxury.
I imagine it's a matter of time to start charging $xxx.xx per pic but right now I prefer to be affordable and reliable for a long period of time.
I saw the problem you have with your current images, which is basically the one all my clients have. That's why consistency is my main goal and I believe I accomplish it.
Regards, Rosie :)
