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.
