As a small business owner, I’m writing you today to let you know we take the current events of COVID-19 very seriously and want to outline what we are doing to protect you, your team, your clients, as well as myself and my team members.
I also understand the current economic situation may impact you in the short or long term and want to offer some flexible terms for your upcoming shoots.
Coronavirus Photo Policy
As of today, we can only perform shoots on assignment from media or real estate related photography (architecture, exteriors, and interiors with people at appropriate social distance.) Here are our guidelines:
- Air travel is temporarily suspended. We will drive to the following states: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico.
- Temperature check the day of shoot of all crew.
- All equipment shall be wiped down with antibacterial cleaning agent prior to use.
- Hands washed and/or sanitized on arrival to location/set.
- Shoes off and stored outside on all residential shoots.
- Temporary no physical contact policy (handshakes, high fives, etc).
- Photographer and crew must remain 6ft apart at all times and wear face masks.
- Remote art direction can occur, but will limit scope of shoot.
- Hand washing before and after all meals and snacks.
- 24 hour cancellation fee waived if illness occurs.
Flexible Payment Terms
Because of the uncertain state of the economy, I am offering the following terms to reduce your upfront expenses on future photo shoots.
- 12 Month Interest Free Payment Plan – You may opt to spread the costs of a shoot over the next twelve months interest free. After, twelve months, payment is due in full or a 10% finance charge will be incurred on the balance every month.
- 2, 5, & 10 Day Retainer Packages – If you know you have multiple shoots to do over the next year, I can create a custom retainer package and discount all fees by 20% (except travel costs).
- Subscription Package – If you need ongoing photography, you can subscribe to a monthly service plan and pay a flat amount each month. The Monthly Subscription Fee ranges from $5000 to $500 depending on number of shoots and usage. Feel free to contact me to setup a time to discuss.
I am watching the situation closely and will be sure to let you know if anything changes with our policies.
All the best and stay healthy,
Lincoln
