Client's Cut - The Collective - What exactly is it?
Clients Cut - The Collective - What exactly is it?
Towards the end of 2021, I wrote a blog entitled “The Reveal - What exactly is it?” and I mentioned amongst other things that ‘The Reveal’ wasn’t necessarily the end.
In short, the “Client’s Cut” is the follow-up.
“Client’s Cut - The Collective” came about after borrowing inspiration from the Film Industry, “Director’s Cut” - The Director's own approved edit in contrast to the theatrical release. The Clients Cut is simply YOUR (the Client’s) edited story. “The Collective” part of the name came about because of how the process is a collaborative experience.
Once you have received your images from your Reveal, if you haven’t done so already you have the option to upgrade your Album. Those that do are free to go away and select your images.
Once complete, and depending on the number of chosen pages. I then spend the next 2-4 weeks working on your design. Taking into account the images you’ve chosen and how to display them in such a way that best tells your Story.
Once the design has been made, we get together for “The Client’s Cut - The Collective”, here we go over the design, talk it through in great detail, make any required changes, and equally important, eat some food! The aim of this collaboration is simple. By the end of it, short of holding the physical album in your hands, you will be 100% clear on what to expect, exactly how it will look, and when to expect the final products.
So how do you receive your Album?
Well….
That would be spoiling it, you’ll have to wait for the next part, but as a final touchpoint… It won’t disappoint!
Final Words:
The Client’s Cut - The Collective, is available to all those who have either chosen to upgrade their Gift Album or those who have added an Album to their collection. If you are yet to add an Album to your collection or you wish to discuss upgrade options. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
*The Client's Cut excludes collections containing a Gift Album.
Footnote: A special thanks to Chadstone Accountancy and Tax for use of their premises for All Client Meetings. If it wasn’t for this incredible Team, I doubt very much I’d be doing what I’m doing. They allow me to 100% focus on the Photography Business whilst dealing with the accountancy side that frankly, feels like a minefield to navigate.
