assignment photography

Assignment photography involves all aspects of creating unique images for a specific concept and use. Clients seek assignment photography when their project requires a unique image as contrasted with stock photography where it does not matter that a particular image may have other commercial applications. When your company is developing its brand or investing in advertising, uniqueness is key to your marketing message. It's just not a good investment to create these messages with stock photography. On the other hand, if you are sending out a newsletter about projects in Atlanta, it might be fine to use a stock photo of the Atlanta skyline. We can offer suggestions for stock photography from our private collection on larger projects (such as annual reports) that call for both assignment and stock photography.

Assignment photography can be quite affordable and it can be quite elaborate. Assignments may range from basic projects like executive portraits in the studio or office locations to documentary photography and complex location-based conceptual projects.
