How to become a commercial photographer

There are many types of photography for various uses. Editorial photography and fashion photography are used to tell a story and set a mood, but commercial photography has a more specific purpose: to promote and market products and services. Whether you take photos to tell a story or sell a product, it takes a unique set of skills to forge a successful photography career.

What is Commercial Photography?

Commercial photography, or advertising photography, is used to promote and market products or services. Commercial photographers take images of products or subjects for a variety of commercial purposes. For commercial shoots, photographers work within brand guidelines and approved shoot lists. The client usually has final say over creative decisions and retains ownership of the work, commissioning it as a work for hire.

6 Types of Commercial Photography

There are six types of commercial photography:

 

1. Fashion photography: Fashion photography is a genre of photography that intersects with the world of fashion. This includes photo shoots for fashion magazines and clothing shoots on the runway and in showrooms and on location for lookbooks. Fashion photography can be artistic, or commercial, but it is almost always about capturing the relationship between fashion models and the clothes on their bodies. The models become walking advertisements for the latest and greatest fashion.

2. Portrait photography: Portrait photography is a style of photography that depicts human subjects. In the commercial world, portrait photography is sometimes used to depict people at work—sitting at a desk, making a salad, giving a speech—all of which can be used as stock images for business websites or other marketing purposes. Portrait photography is also used in advertising, where it can help consumers associate a product with a person, even if it is someone they do not know or know.

3. Product photography: Companies use product photography to promote the specific features and benefits of a product, sometimes in high-definition and close-up angles. A product photographer captures product images in the most photogenic way that can help brand and market the client's products.

4. Food photography: Food photography is a common type of photography that involves taking photos of the most desired foods for product packaging or menus. Food stylists arrange food—most often using props or other non-edible materials—to recreate the irresistible appearance of food (that will not lose its shape under hot lights). “Food photography” involves many styles and positions to make food look visually appealing.

5. Architectural photography: Commercial architectural photography is about photographing buildings and other structures that tell a story. Companies commonly use these photos in brochures, web marketing, printed materials, and portfolios, often to sell offices or apartments within the building. Architectural photographers also photograph structures such as bridges or tunnels, or other types of construction.

6. Interior photography: Interior photography focuses on highlighting exceptional interior design to sell client services, such as to interior designers or real estate agents. Real estate photography is part of this type of commercial work. By showing the inside of a home or space in the best light and orientation, potential buyers can see the scope of a designer's talents, helping them attract more clients.

4 Examples of Commercial Photography

Photography may be used for commercial purposes to help promote or sell products, events or experiences. Here are some examples of commercial photography:

1. Promotion of entertainment. Part of a television show's marketing strategy or film budget is billboards. Every TV show and movie allocates a budget for advertising, and part of that advertising includes promotional billboards placed throughout the city to convince people to watch a new show or go to the theater to see a new movie.

2. Travel brochure. Travel flyers can make a place look like the ideal vacation spot, and when you're considering taking a trip, these promotional photos can help you sell a location.

3. Product packaging. Product packaging photography involves taking pictures of the product in the best light from all angles to make it look the most attractive, and then using those images on the packaging to attract potential customers.

4. Book cover. Another type of commercial photography appears on book covers. Publishers request certain types of book cover photos to help sell their books. In some cases, publishers will even purchase pre-existing commercial photos for book covers.

How to be Commercial Photographer

Along with the right equipment for a particular photography job, commercial photography will likely require editing and retouching software. For some other helpful tips on how to become a commercial photographer, see below:

1. Create a portfolio. To find work as a commercial photographer, you need to put together a physical or digital portfolio with your most impressive shots. (Digital portfolios can be seen by more people to showcase your photography services). A photography portfolio is what will sell you to potential clients, so you should always have samples that show off your best work. Once your portfolio is complete, consider getting business cards for your photography business that you can hand out to potential clients.

2. Research. Research previous advertising campaigns for clients—become familiar with the brand and its values so you don't pitch something inappropriate. Also, ask questions about how the campaign is being used (e.g., is it for print media? social media?) and who the audience is. All of this research will inform the proposal, or pitch deck, you submit.

3. Create a pitch deck. In commercial photography, a pitch deck is a visual presentation that clearly communicates your ideas to a brand or client. A pitch deck contains a project overview and reference images to support the pitch. In addition to the pitch deck, you'll need to submit a bid for the project and a calendar that lists potential prep days and shoots.

4. Draft budget for promotion. Make sure the available resources match your creative shooting concept. If there is a fixed budget for the project, be sure to outline how money should be allocated to carry out the work.

5. Be passionate. You want to be passionate and show the advertising agency or other commercial clients that you are fully invested in the project.

6. Know the legality. If a commercial photo contains branded products, identifiable people, or personal property, legal permission to publish the image for commercial use must be secured. Model releases and property release forms serve as an agreement between the client, photographer, and the subject of the image. This form outlines where the image will be published and the terms of use. This contractual agreement protects the photographer and allows the photographer to use the images for other purposes. Additional negotiations may need to be included if the photographer intends to resell images to a stock agency.

E.TRANSLATION INTO INDONESIA

    Ada banyak jenis fotografi untuk berbagai kegunaan. Fotografi editorial dan fotografi mode digunakan untuk menceritakan sebuah kisah dan mengatur suasana hati, tetapi fotografi komersial memiliki tujuan yang lebih spesifik: untuk mempromosikan dan memasarkan produk dan layanan. Baik Anda mengambil foto untuk menceritakan sebuah kisah atau menjual produk, dibutuhkan serangkaian keterampilan unik untuk menempa karier fotografi yang sukses.

Apa itu Fotografi Komersial?

Fotografi komersial, atau fotografi iklan, digunakan untuk mempromosikan dan memasarkan produk atau layanan. Fotografer komersial mengambil gambar produk atau subjek untuk berbagai tujuan komersial. Untuk pemotretan komersial, fotografer bekerja dalam pedoman merek dan daftar pemotretan yang disetujui. Klien biasanya memiliki keputusan akhir atas keputusan kreatif dan mempertahankan kepemilikan atas karya tersebut, menugaskannya sebagai karya untuk disewa.

6 Jenis Fotografi Komersial

Ada enam jenis fotografi komersial:

 

1. Fotografi fashion: Fotografi fashion adalah genre fotografi yang bersinggungan dengan dunia fashion. Ini termasuk pemotretan untuk majalah mode dan pemotretan pakaian di landasan pacu dan di ruang pamer dan di lokasi untuk lookbook. Fotografi fesyen bisa menjadi seni, atau komersial, tetapi hampir selalu tentang menangkap hubungan antara model fesyen dan pakaian di tubuh mereka. Para model menjadi iklan berjalan untuk fashion terbaru dan terkini.

2. Fotografi potret: Fotografi potret adalah gaya fotografi yang menggambarkan subjek manusia. Dalam dunia komersial, fotografi potret terkadang digunakan untuk menggambarkan orang di tempat kerja—duduk di meja, membuat salad, memberikan pidato—semuanya dapat digunakan untuk stok gambar untuk situs web bisnis atau tujuan pemasaran lainnya. Fotografi potret juga digunakan dalam periklanan, yang dapat membantu konsumen mengaitkan produk dengan seseorang, bahkan jika itu adalah seseorang yang tidak mereka kenal atau kenal.

3. Fotografi produk: Perusahaan menggunakan fotografi produk untuk mempromosikan fitur dan manfaat spesifik dari suatu produk, terkadang dalam sudut definisi tinggi dan close-up. Seorang fotografer produk menangkap gambar produk dengan cara yang paling fotogenik yang dapat membantu merek dan memasarkan produk klien.

4. Fotografi makanan: Fotografi makanan adalah jenis fotografi umum yang melibatkan pengambilan foto makanan yang paling diinginkan untuk kemasan produk atau menu. Penata makanan mengatur makanan — paling sering menggunakan makanan penyangga atau bahan lain yang tidak dapat dimakan — untuk menciptakan kembali tampilan makanan yang tak tertahankan (yang tidak akan kehilangan bentuknya di bawah lampu panas). “Pemotretan makanan” melibatkan banyak gaya dan posisi untuk membuat makanan terlihat menarik secara visual.

5. Fotografi arsitektural: Fotografi arsitektur komersial adalah tentang memotret bangunan dan struktur lain yang menceritakan sebuah kisah. Perusahaan biasanya menggunakan foto-foto ini dalam brosur, pemasaran web, bahan cetak, dan portofolio, seringkali untuk menjual kantor atau apartemen di dalam gedung. Fotografer arsitektur juga memotret struktur seperti jembatan atau terowongan, atau jenis konstruksi lainnya.

6. Fotografi interior: Fotografi interior berfokus pada penyorotan desain interior yang luar biasa untuk menjual layanan klien, seperti untuk desainer interior atau agen real estat. Fotografi real estat adalah bagian dari jenis pekerjaan komersial ini. Dengan menampilkan bagian dalam rumah atau ruang dalam cahaya dan orientasi terbaik, calon pembeli dapat melihat ruang lingkup bakat desainer, membantu mereka menarik lebih banyak klien.

4 Contoh Fotografi Komersial

Fotografi dapat digunakan untuk tujuan komersial untuk membantu mempromosikan atau menjual produk, acara, atau pengalaman. Berikut adalah beberapa contoh fotografi komersial:

1. Promosi hiburan. Bagian dari strategi pemasaran acara televisi atau anggaran film adalah papan reklame. Setiap acara TV dan film mengalokasikan anggaran untuk iklan, dan sebagian dari iklan tersebut mencakup papan iklan promosi yang ditempatkan di seluruh kota untuk meyakinkan orang agar menonton acara baru atau pergi ke teater untuk menonton film baru.

2. Brosur perjalanan. Pamflet perjalanan dapat membuat suatu tempat terlihat seperti tempat liburan yang ideal, dan ketika Anda mempertimbangkan untuk melakukan perjalanan, foto-foto promosi ini dapat membantu Anda menjual suatu lokasi.

3. Kemasan produk. Fotografi pengemasan produk melibatkan pengambilan gambar produk dalam cahaya terbaik dari semua sudut agar terlihat paling menarik, dan kemudian menggunakan gambar itu pada kemasan untuk menarik pelanggan potensial.

4. Sampul buku. Jenis fotografi komersial lainnya muncul di sampul buku. Penerbit meminta jenis foto sampul buku tertentu untuk membantu menjual buku mereka. Dalam beberapa kasus, penerbit bahkan akan membeli foto komersial yang sudah ada sebelumnya untuk sampul buku.

Bagaimana Menjadi Fotografer Komersial

Seiring dengan perlengkapan yang tepat untuk pekerjaan fotografi tertentu, fotografi komersial kemungkinan akan memerlukan perangkat lunak pengeditan dan retouching. Untuk beberapa kiat bermanfaat lainnya tentang cara menjadi fotografer komersial, lihat di bawah:

1. Buat portofolio. Untuk mencari pekerjaan sebagai fotografer komersial, Anda perlu menyusun portofolio fisik atau digital dengan bidikan Anda yang paling mengesankan. (Portofolio digital dapat dilihat oleh lebih banyak orang untuk memamerkan layanan fotografi Anda). Portofolio fotografi adalah apa yang akan menjual Anda kepada klien potensial, jadi Anda harus selalu memiliki sampel yang memamerkan karya terbaik Anda. Setelah portofolio Anda selesai, pertimbangkan untuk mendapatkan kartu nama untuk bisnis fotografi Anda yang dapat Anda bagikan kepada calon klien.

2. Penelitian. Teliti kampanye iklan sebelumnya untuk klien—jadilah familier dengan merek dan nilainya sehingga Anda tidak melontarkan sesuatu yang tidak pantas. Juga, ajukan pertanyaan tentang bagaimana kampanye digunakan (misalnya, apakah untuk media cetak? media sosial?) dan siapa audiensnya. Semua penelitian ini akan menginformasikan proposal, atau pitch deck, yang Anda ajukan.

3. Buat dek pitch. Dalam fotografi komersial, pitch deck adalah presentasi visual yang dengan jelas mengomunikasikan ide-ide Anda kepada merek atau klien. Sebuah pitch deck berisi ikhtisar proyek dan gambar referensi untuk mendukung pitch. Selain pitch deck, Anda harus mengirimkan tawaran untuk proyek dan kalender yang mencantumkan hari persiapan dan pemotretan potensial.

4. Draf anggaran untuk promosi. Pastikan sumber daya yang tersedia sesuai dengan konsep kreatif pemotretan Anda. Jika ada anggaran tetap untuk proyek tersebut, pastikan untuk menguraikan bagaimana uang harus dialokasikan untuk melaksanakan pekerjaan itu.

5. Bersemangatlah. Anda ingin bersemangat dan menunjukkan kepada biro iklan atau klien komersial lainnya bahwa Anda sepenuhnya terlibat dalam proyek tersebut.

6. Mengetahui legalitas. Jika foto komersial berisi produk bermerek, orang yang dapat dikenali, atau properti pribadi, izin hukum untuk mempublikasikan gambar untuk penggunaan komersial harus dijamin. Rilis model dan formulir pelepasan properti berfungsi sebagai kesepakatan antara klien, fotografer, dan subjek gambar. Formulir ini menguraikan di mana gambar akan diterbitkan dan ketentuan penggunaan. Perjanjian kontrak ini melindungi fotografer dan memungkinkan fotografer untuk menggunakan gambar untuk tujuan lain. Negosiasi tambahan mungkin perlu disertakan jika fotografer bermaksud untuk menjual kembali gambar ke agen stok.
