Hi everyone,
Here is a bit of insight into hiring a professional photog to do your
shots. I'm bringing this to you via many years of being an art
director where photography was vital; when good, correct photography
was needed in a timely fashion.
There is no shame, in fact it is very important that you be at the
shoot when your pots are being photographed. Look through the camera
lense when the photographer is setting up the lighting, get a few
poloroids prior to finish shots etc. And, most importantly, use your
view point to get the shots the right way. Bring clippings of photos
from magazines to serve as samples. Sometimes the photographer is so
intent on one aspect of a picture he/she doesn't see something else.
Like a hair on a pot, or a pice of lint or a flaw that could be
avoided by turning the piece a little. Getting involved in the shoot
gives you more control and is every bit your right as a client. If you
run into a photographer that is a prima donna, go elsewhere. Harsh
shadows and hot lighting is for the artsy shot not for a softly lit
product shot that is vital to getting you into next years shows. Even
if you don't get all the shots the way you want them, you have been in
control and can get it better next time.
Best wishes

It may be an impossible question, but could anyone give me a rough idea of
what to expect in the way of cost, getting one's stuff photographed
professionally?
