Photography Creative Process
[pre-production]
At Brett Gilmour Photography, we believe that starting a photography project with a well formed plan produces better photography. We use the project briefing to establish communication and agreement with decision-makers. We take the time to consult with Producers, Art Directors, and Clients to establish a direction and develop the overall look and feel of the photography. We listen to you in order to establish goals and timelines that form the framework for the project.

Using the project brief as a guideline we assemble the right team of experienced professionals for each job. Each piece of equipment is cleaned and tested before every job ensuring everything will flow during the shoot. Images are captured to a highly portable workstation allowing Art Directors and Clients to see results during the shoot and provide feedback to the photography team. On-site proofing guarantees the photos are technically flawless and allows us to work on the creativity of the shoot.
[post-production]
Master Images are put through our custom colour grading process. We don't just batch-process images, each image is given individual attention to correct colour and even out exposure creating a streamlined final output. The result is delivery of refined Master Images that have a consistent and polished look.
[delivery]
Images are delivered online via our ImageVault which let’s everyone collaborate with pro-strength Lightboxes allowing everyone to comment, rate and share images. Clients can batch download proofs and hi-res images or assemble and share personal Lightboxes with colleagues, printers, designers and agencies. The system keeps everyone in the loop whether they are on location or back at HQ.
Master Images are archived for 30 days with long-term archiving available for a small fee.
[above and beyond]
Our ImageVault provides online infrastructure that helps you collaborate with your colleagues, share photos on social networks, leverage our powerful SEO tools, archive photographs, manage your photo collection, provides online image delivery.
[fees]
Fees are estimated based on specific use including: size, placement, circulation, distribution, length of display time and cost of production. This pricing model allows us to tailor solutions that meet each client’s photography and licensing needs while reducing the cost of photography by charging only for what our client needs.
