What should be included in an event photo package
Listen to this article1:50
“Photo coverage” alone is not a package. Hours, frame count, selects, retouch and delivery format must be written down.
A package is a list, not a word
In Baku “event photo coverage” promises different things. One vendor hands over every RAW; another fifty retouched frames. To understand price, ask in writing what the package includes.
Hours and coverage zones
Start–end, stage, guest area, press wall and outdoors. A photographer cannot be everywhere. Rank priority zones in the /foto-cekilis brief.
Frame count and selects
“Unlimited photos” is marketing. A real package states approximate volume and how many selects go to retouch. Who picks — client or editor — must be agreed early.
Retouch level
Colour and exposure is one level; skin and object work is another. Press needs fast selects; a catalogue needs slower care. That difference affects budget, explained as a factor — no invented figures.
Delivery format and timing
Web JPG, print-size files and an online gallery differ. A few same-day frames are noted separately. Delivery date is part of the package — “soon” is not enough.
Together with video
A photo package can share the day with a video highlight. Light and timeline are shared; handover folders stay separate. That is often more cost-effective than two days.
Build the package with Media7
Send programme, priority moments and where images will run to /contact. A need-fit photo package — hours, selects and delivery — is written down. The goal is clear boundaries, not a vague “everything included”.
A checklist
Hours, zones, select count, retouch level, delivery date and “not included” lines should live in one document. That reduces friction later.
