Photography Requirements and Guidelines for REAL Events
​

Dear Photographer,

As a valued collaborator with REAL, your role in capturing the essence of our events is crucial. Please review and adhere to the following guidelines and conditions to ensure a seamless experience for you, the artists, and the attendees.

​

1. Arrival Time:

  • You are required to arrive at the venue by 19:00 for each event. If the show starts earlier, please adjust your arrival time accordingly to ensure full coverage from the beginning.

2. Compensation:

  • Your rate for photography is £55 for a standard show (5 bands or less lineups) and £65 for a showcase (6+ bands lineups). We process the invoices every 2 weeks. Please invoice us every other Monday combining all the hours in one document.

3. Photography Requirements:

  • During the event, your primary task is to take photographs of each artist performing on stage.

  • In addition to stage photos, we require a few off-stage promotional photos of the artists. These photos are essential for the artists' promotional use.

  • Ensure a minimum of 15 quality photographs for each artist performing at the event.

4. Interaction with Artists:

  • While taking promotional photos, engage with the artists to foster a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. This interaction not only aids in capturing better photos but also encourages artists to be more interested in purchasing these photos for their use.

  • Show the artists some of the photos you take to involve them in the process and get immediate feedback.

5. Photo Distribution:

  • Please refrain from directly sharing the photos with the artists. All photo distributions are managed by REAL to maintain consistency and quality control.

  • If an artist expresses interest in obtaining the photos, kindly direct them to contact REAL directly.

6. Social Media Posting:

  • You are welcome to post the photos on your own social media channels 2 weeks after the event.

  • When posting, please ensure to tag REAL in each post to help promote our brand and the events.

​

We appreciate your cooperation and dedication to capturing the vibrant moments of our events. Your photography plays a pivotal role in the success of our gigs and the promotion of the artists we host.
