Question 1

Why package photography, location shoots and reels together?

Accepted Answer

Because the website, the Google Business Profile, LinkedIn and paid campaigns all need imagery at the same time. Booking them separately costs more and still leaves gaps, since each session gets planned in isolation.

Question 2

Do we shoot in the studio or at our premises?

Accepted Answer

Usually both. The studio gives controlled, consistent results for portraits and products, while location work shows the real premises and the work actually happening. The split is decided by what the pages need.

Question 3

What is the difference between this and hiring a photographer directly?

Accepted Answer

A photographer delivers images. This package starts from the pages, profiles and campaigns that need filling, plans the shot list around them, and hands back files already sized and cropped for each place they are going.

Question 4

Do reels actually help a business that is not on social media?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, because vertical video is used well beyond social feeds. The same clips support Google Business Profile posts, website sections, paid placements and LinkedIn, which is where most B2B buyers check a business.

Question 5

How does better imagery affect search visibility?

Accepted Answer

Images are not a direct ranking factor on their own, but photos on a Google Business Profile influence how often a listing is viewed and acted on, and genuine imagery on service pages supports the trust signals that convert search traffic into enquiries.

Question 6

Can you work with imagery we already have?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The planning step reviews what already exists first, so a session only covers the genuine gaps rather than re-shooting material that is still working.

Question 7

Who owns the final images and video?

Accepted Answer

Usage rights are agreed in writing before the shoot, so it is clear from the start where the business can publish the files and for how long. Raise this at the consultation if your use case is unusual.

Question 8

What should I ask a photographer before I book?

Accepted Answer

Ask what is included, how many finished images you get and who edits them. Ask when you get the files, what the usage rights are and what happens if it rains or someone is ill. Ask how much you pay up front and how cancellations work.

Question 9

Who owns the photos after the shoot?

Accepted Answer

In most places the photographer owns the copyright unless the agreement says otherwise. You receive a licence to use the images. Agree in writing where you can use them, for how long and whether you can edit them. Ask this before you book, not after.

Question 10

Do I need permission to shoot in a public place in Sri Lanka?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the place. Streets, beaches, parks and heritage sites belong to different owners and authorities, and the rules can change with crew size and equipment. Ask the owner or the authority first and get anything important in writing. This is general information, not legal advice.

Question 11

Can I shoot at Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa or Anuradhapura?

Accepted Answer

These sites are managed by the Central Cultural Fund, and commercial shoots need its written permission. At the time of writing, its published guidelines ask for documents 15 working days ahead and list a fee per site per week for commercial use. They also set filming hours and do not allow filming in its museums. Check the Fund for current rules and rates.

Question 12

How do I find the right model for my brand?

Accepted Answer

Start with your customer. The model should look like the people you want to reach, suit your product and fit your tone. Check portfolios, ask for recent test shots and have a call or meeting before you book.

Question 13

What is a model release?

Accepted Answer

It is a signed agreement in which a person allows you to use their image. It says where, for how long and for what purpose. Get one from everyone who can be recognised in your photos or reels.

Question 14

How long does a shoot take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the number of looks, set-ups and people. A simple product set can take a few hours. A shoot with several looks or locations can take a full day or more. We estimate once we see your shot list.

Question 15

How many edited photos should I expect?

Accepted Answer

Agree the number up front. A selection is the best frames chosen from the shoot and then edited. “All the raw frames” is a different offer from “edited finals”, so ask which one the quote means.
