Photographer for Event Organisers

For event organisers

Billie shoots galleries planned around the run sheet: wide shots that show the scale, speakers and performers mid-moment, sponsor branding in context and the crowd.

On the shoot

Music rights at gigs

Recording a performance for release or promotion needs the artist’s agreement, and covers of other people’s songs bring their own rights, so this is cleared with performers before the day.

Access and power

Crew need accreditation, a base to work from, power and a route between stages or rooms that does not cut through the audience.

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

An organiser running a monthly night or a season of events suits a retainer: Essential at $1,500 NZD a month covers one production session and short-form edits, and Creative at $3,000 NZD a month adds a second session and creative direction. A single festival or conference is usually quoted as Bespoke Production, and if you want Billie to produce the event itself, that is a Billie Private commission, quoted per project.
