Photographer for Schools

For schools and education

Billie shoots classrooms, sport, arts and campus life with the consent list in hand, plus staff portraits, so the school has a full set of images it can use.

On the shoot

Privacy on campus

Names on uniforms, rolls on walls and screens in classrooms are checked before filming so nothing identifies a student who should not be identified.

Footage that lasts the year

Enrolment films are often shot in one term and used for a year or more, so grounds, uniforms and light are planned to suit the whole period.

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

Schools and tertiary providers with a year-round calendar suit Essential at $1,500 NZD a month: one session a month covers events, sport and campus life, with short-form edits for social. A new enrolment film is usually quoted as Bespoke Production. Larger institutions running student recruitment campaigns may need Creative at $3,000 NZD a month; the guide to retainers and one-off projects helps decide.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

How do you handle students who cannot be filmed?

The school shares its consent list before the shoot, and the crew frames and edits around anyone without consent, so they are kept out of the finished video.

What is included?

Artist and studio portraits, campaign and product stills, posters and key art, behind-the-scenes coverage, retouched, web-ready files. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
