Professional photo and video for social media: a shoot day at your space

Cover: Professional photo and video for social media: a shoot day at your space

What my clients tell me most often after a shoot is that the result looks like them. That they see something come to life that they didn't know how it would look, and that it turned out better than what they had pictured in words.

Nobody knows your business better than you, but you're often so close to it that you no longer see what makes it special.

That's why I come to your space myself. From day one I see what makes your business special, and I turn it into images.

From a real shoot, behind the cameras

How a shoot day works

Before: the plan

Nothing happens by chance. Before the shoot we talk about what we want to show, and I prepare a clear plan: the concept, the shot list, and how many reels will come out of it. So you know in advance what you'll get.

From you I ask for a few things: a tidy space, the products we want to show in good condition and, if you'll be on camera, two or three changes of clothes. The plan covers the rest.

On the day: at your space

I come to your shop, studio or workshop, or to an outdoor location that fits. I guide you throughout, so you're never wondering how to stand or what to do. Most clients are nervous at first, and half an hour later they're enjoying it.

Often the best shot of the day is the one that wasn't in the plan: a moment when someone laughs or works without thinking about the camera. That's why I always leave room for those.

After: editing and delivery

I edit all the material: retouched photos and edited videos, ready in every size your platforms need. You get three rounds of revisions, and delivery is within five working days.

Which businesses it suits

Professional video content isn't only for big brands. It suits every business with something to show: hair and beauty salons, restaurants and cafés, shops, workshops, gyms, product brands. For new collections and campaigns that need a more considered look, there's also Editorial Production, with a moodboard and art direction before the shoot.

Athens and all of Greece

I'm based in Athens, but shoots also happen in other cities in Greece, depending on the project.

Frequently asked questions

When do I receive the material?

Within five working days of the shoot, with three rounds of revisions.

Where does the shoot take place?

At your own space or at an outdoor location that suits the concept, in Athens and across Greece.

How many reels come out of one shoot?

The number is set in the plan before the shoot, depending on the concept. So you know in advance what you'll get.

Do I have to appear in the video?

Only if you want to. We can show the space, the products and the process without faces, or I can guide you if you'd like to appear.
