On the shoot

Site safety

Construction sites have their own health and safety rules, so the crew signs in, completes the site induction, wears the required PPE and films with a site lead aware of where they are.

Filming over months

A build can run for months, so progress footage is planned as a series of short visits at key stages: foundations, framing, roof on, fit-out and handover.

The service

Billie shoots stills the same way it shoots film: with a clear idea, careful light and an eye for the frame. Artist portraits, campaign imagery, posters and behind-the-scenes stills can be shot on their own or alongside a video project.

What’s included

Artist and studio portraits
Campaign and product stills
Posters and key art
Behind-the-scenes coverage
Retouched, web-ready files

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a trade business that wants one session a month on site to keep social and the website current. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a builder with several projects underway, or one that wants to document builds as they progress, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger construction company with ongoing marketing and recruitment needs. A single showcase film for a finished project can be quoted as Bespoke Production.
