These days I am receiving a lot of calls to provide candid photos of people in meetings. Now, while it may not at first blush be the most interesting of content, I understand well why it is important to have such shots and I think my clients have it right in hiring a professional photographer in Montreal to take them. There are any number of uses for shots showing people in an office setting going about their daily work.
For most working professionals, that daily work entails sitting in front of a computer, talking on the phone, or meeting with clients or colleagues face-to-face at a boardroom table. Millions of people do one or all of these things every day. Images of people in these situations can be useful for websites, marketing materials, presentations or even internal employee communications newsletters (both in print and electronic versions). Hiring a photographer to take these kinds of photos of your employees or managers in a meeting, will typically yield upwards of 200 photos for an hour or two of a photographer's time, providing you with a wide array of shots to choose from and use according to your needs.
As a photographer in Montreal working within many large and smaller businesses and corporations, I also understand that clients don't want the hassle of buying rights managed photos that are laden with usage restrictions, which is why I always provide my clients with full rights transfer to them included in my fee. This makes their lives easier, and ensures that I have a happy client which is always my main goal.
If you are planning on a website overhaul/rebrand or launching something new, consider hiring a photographer to create your imagery rather than pay for generic (and sometimes quite expensive) stock photography that says nothing about the uniqueness of your company, your brand or your company culture.
