Photography Proposal for Mey & Co.

Project Overview

This proposal outlines professional photography services for Mey & Co.’s furniture line, covering approximately 58 SKUs and delivering an estimated 174 final images. All imagery will be captured in a styled studio environment, with usage intended for web platforms.

Following a recent conversation with Mariana, we’ve aligned on a revised, streamlined approach to capture the collection efficiently and cost-effectively. The plan includes a one-day primary shoot, with a few additional hours on subsequent days to photograph any remaining pieces.

In the spirit of collaboration—and as a creative partner supporting the growth of this exciting area of your business—I’ve proposed more accessible rates, bundled licensing options, and a 10% new client discount. This structure is designed to provide high-quality imagery while remaining budget-conscious.

Product Breakdown

The shoot will cover the following product categories, totaling approximately 58 SKUs:

• Accessories (20 SKUs):
  5 objects, 4 vase types, 19 color variations

• Area Rugs: 4–5 SKUs

• Seating (21 SKUs):
  15 unique frames, plus 6 fabric options for custom benches

• Case Goods: 9 SKUs

• Floor Lamps: 2 SKUs

• Table Lamps: 1 SKU

Estimated Image Count: Approximately 174 images (averaging 3 images per SKU)

Photography Fees

$2,500 / day
Includes:

• Pre-production (scheduling, shot planning, communication)

• Photography (Up to 8 hours in-studio)

• Post-production (standard editing + color correction)

• Private digital gallery (accessible for 3 months)

Number of shoot days to be determined based on collection scope and logistics.

Additional Shoot Time

Hourly Rate: $400/hour
Applies to any additional partial shoots required due to product arrival.

Note: Hourly rate is higher than the day rate equivalent due to the time commitment and partial-day booking impact.
