Expected duration: 1 day or less Request for Proposal: Specialist New Orleans Photographer
We are a UK-based production company seeking a highly skilled, New Orleans based photographer for a critical project: capturing the essence of a renowned New Orleans theatre. This project aims to showcase the venue as a world-class destination, highlighting its architectural beauty and vibrant atmosphere with patrons during an evening performance. Our work will align with a specific artistic style established across 50+ venues in Europe. We prioritise a reliable, precise photographer who can execute a detailed shot list and and collaborate well. We have one chance to get this right at this specific venue, requiring a truly safe pair of hands.
Project Details & Deliverables
Location: A specific theatre in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Shoot Date/Time: At night, mutually agreed upon. The shoot is 4-5 hours, capturing evening ambiance, patron arrival, and moments during performance/intermission.
Crucial Limitation: No on-stage production elements are permitted; focus is solely on the venue and patron experience.
Creative Vision: Depict the theatre as grand, bustling, and inviting, from pre-show quiet to post-show applause.
Shot List Phases: Interior (Empty Theatre - Pre-Arrival):
Wide, architectural shots of auditorium, lobby, public spaces before patrons. Focus on grandeur, design, ambiance.
Interior During Show: Capture interior during performance in a very dark environment. Expertise in extreme low-light conditions is paramount (e.g., 30+ second exposures).
Discretion is Key: Highly discreet, silent, minimal time inside during show. Accompanied by staff.
Intermission Photos: Capture staff serving in bars/concessions, and additional interior shots.
Staff Setup (Styled): Styled shots of staff in bar areas, aiming for a "perfect bar" look.
"Money Shot" - Applause/Standing Ovation: Wide shot of entire theatre interior with audience applauding at finale. Key hero shot, though not always guaranteed.
Artistic & Technical Requirements
World-Class Depiction: Images must elevate theatre's perception to a premier global entertainment destination; photos must be "amazing."
Style & Shot List Adherence: Meticulous execution of our vision and detailed shot list is primary.
Natural Lighting (No Flash): Only available ambient light; no flash permitted. Non-negotiable for consistency and atmosphere. Must excel in extreme low-light.
Anonymity of Patrons/Customers:
Crowd Shots: Faces not recognisable in close-up.
Staff Interaction: Focus on backs of customers' heads/hands, or angles obscuring faces.
Equipment & Deliverables
Full-Frame Camera: Professional model essential (e.g., Canon R5 or equivalent) for low-light/long exposures.
Versatile Lens Kit: Comprehensive fast lenses (e.g., 11mm-200mm) for diverse scenes.
Tripod: Sturdy tripod mandatory for sharp, low-light images.
RAW Files Only: Delivered unedited. Our team handles all post-processing for consistency.
Image Quantity: To be discussed, expect comprehensive set.
Your Experience & Skills
Exceptional low-light photography expertise: Especially architectural, event, in-show theatre (no flash, 30+ sec exposures).
