How do commercial projects get quoted?

New Orleans Commercial photography quotes are per project, based on shoot days, crew, locations and how you intend to use the images. You get a written estimate with usage spelled out before anything is booked.

What usage rights are included?

New Orleans commercial photography licensing is written into the estimate for the term, territory and media you actually need — web and social, print campaign, out-of-home, or full buyout. No hidden expenses or expirations.

Do you handle production — casting, locations, permits?

Yes. New Orleans commercial photography talent casting, location scouting, permits, styling and crew can all be produced in-house, or I can slot into your agency's existing production.

Can our team art-direct on set?

Yes, your team can art-direct commercial photography shoots on set. The client, art director and stylist are free to consult, and approvals happen on set rather than a week later.

What is the turnaround on a commercial shoot?

Selects from commercial photography projects can be distributed within 24 to 48 hours of the wrap if a rush fee is paid, final retouched files typically within a week of requests, delivered to your spec — CMYK for print, sRGB for web, layered files where required.

Do you shoot editorial assignments?

I shoot editorial photography assignments regularly, for national and regional publications. Editorial rates and deadlines are handled differently from advertising work — send the brief and we will sort it out quickly.

Commercial & Editorial Photography

Brands, Agencies, Publications

Commercial photography clients are not buying images, they are buying certainty: that the shoot happens on time and with ease, that the art director gets the exact look they need, that the images tell the story, and that the brand walks away looking better than ever. Marc Pagani excels in New Orleans commercial photography and international branding photography that stands out.

We work with agencies, in-house marketing teams and publications on brand photography campaigns, New Orleans hospitality and food photography, New Orleans spirits photography, New Orleans hotels and travel photography, and New Orleans corporate and editorial portraiture. We work as a small crew or a full production, we do scouting through delivery, with licensing written for how the images will actually be used, so you're not paying for things you don't need.

Every commercial or editorial photography session comes back with a retouched selection delivered on a schedule agreed before the first frame is shot.

What Clients Say

“Marc did an amazing job with my DJ photoshoot! I asked for a lot in an hour, I wanted to do an indoor shoot on stage, then get some fun shots outside around the neighborhood, and Marc came prepared to shoot for both indoor and outdoor environments! He was also quick in each location, I brought a friend and several outfit changes and Marc got straight to it in each spot we shot. I hadn't done a photoshoot since my high school graduation pictures and Marc did a great job directing me and giving pointers to help get the best photos. He's also just a great person to be around, so the shoot itself was fun and enjoyable. I run a live music entertainment company specializing in 2ndlines, cover bands and all things live music related and knew Marc from live events, he really is great to work alongside in all aspects and I can't recommend him enough!”

“There is a reason Marc has a 5 star rating. He is always professional, cares about the final product and experience of those he works with as a photographer. Can't recommend any more highly.”

“I use Marc for family photos, events and shoots for my brand. He is always professional, cares about the final product and experience of those he works with as a photographer. Can't recommend any more highly.”

“Top shelf photographer; top shelf person. We hired Marc to shoot photos for a kids organic clothing line we were producing and were so pleased with his work that we ended up hiring him again for both personal, and international charity, work. One cursory look at his portfolio and you'll see that his work is outstanding. But when you look closer, really study his art, you'll see that Marc has a uniquely keen and clever eye. He is acutely aware of the subject and its place in its surroundings. The result: really special work. His creativity is boundless, surpassed only by his humanity. We can't wait to work with him again.”

“I contracted Marc to travel with me and photojournal a buying expedition I was on for my retail business. Marc was nothing short of the consummate professional, he was prepared with proper equipment and he had done his background research on the mission of the trip. Marc was always present but never intrusive as he photojournaled this buying expedition. To say that I was pleased with the quality of the images, the timeliness of the production and the artistic eye with which he shot the images is an understatement. In fact, I was so taken by Marc's work that I arranged for a photo gallery showing of the images he shot on this trip. It was truly a privilege to work with a professional like Marc Pagani. In fact, later this year I am engaging Marc to shoot my family's portrait.”
