How it works(04)

From the briefto the launch.

The brief sets the shot list, the shoot feeds the website, and the website launches with photography and video made for it, not stock.

Behind the scenes on a Visual State photography shoot in a commercial kitchen
  1. 01/

    The brief

    Thirty minutes on a call. We map what needs shooting, filming or building.

  2. 02/

    The shoot

    One day on site, planned from the brief. Photography and video in the same day, so nothing gets shot twice.

  3. 03/

    The build

    The website designed and built around the photographs and video we shot for it. You see it before it launches.

  4. 04/

    The launch

    The site goes live, every file is yours, and the monthly retainer keeps the content current.

Our standards(04)

The standardswe work to

Rules we build to on every job, written down so you can hold us to them.

  1. 01/You own every file.

    Raw and edited, delivered to you, with the usage rights written down: print, web, social and paid, with no end date and no extra licence to buy.

  2. 02/No stock, no generated imagery.

    Every image on your site was shot for you, on a real day, in a real place. Nothing comes out of a stock library and nothing is generated.

  3. 03/The site is yours.

    The domain, the hosting, the analytics and the code sit in your name and are handed over at launch. Another studio could pick it up tomorrow.

  4. 04/You see it before it launches.

    Nothing goes live unseen. You read the pages, you look at the edit, and the site launches on the day you say it can.

FAQ(05)

Commonquestions

  • No. Most clients start with one shoot or one website. The retainer and the rest come when they make sense.

  • A shoot day a month, planned around what the business has coming up, with the photographs and video cuts edited and delivered. Priced per business; ask on the brief call.

  • Every shoot and every website is quoted per project against one scoped outcome, so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start. The 30 minute brief is where you get that scope.

  • Visual State’s own team in Melbourne, founder led. The same two people shoot it, edit it and build it, which is the point.

  • Not under Visual State. For AI and automation we have partnered with Scaled AI Automation, a Melbourne team that builds it full time.
