So you have a project, you have put time and effort into a plan and believe you have a good idea of what you want accomplished - now you’re looking to hire a photographer, but fear your vision will get lost along the way. We want to reassure you this is absolutely not the case when you hire an experienced photographer. When you hire a professional photographer, you are not signing over your creative rights to the project. In fact, it’s very much the opposite. A photographer’s job is to add value to your vision. We aim to work as a team, and to take your ideas seriously, only hoping to improve them, and help bring them to life. If you feel strongly about your vision, we will take your cues and come together to help execute. 

The beauty of JIVE, having worked with ad agencies, art directors, copy writers and marketing teams, is that if your vision needs fine tuning, we can offer that help as well. It has become second nature for us to dive into how to best convey your message visually, and our experience with branding and messaging can be extremely valuable if the client is newer to the game. In other words, you get the best of both worlds, we can take the lead from the client, or to step up and offer new and exciting ideas that may inspire the project.

Photographers are creative by nature, but our main goal is to facilitate the production of images and/or video content that you and your team need. This is why people skills are so important in this industry, being able to sense when the client needs support creatively is something experienced photographers can sense, and will then present suggestions for execution. 

Don’t forget, your ideas are important, and good communication is the key to an excellent result.
