Creative Estimating Workshop

© Lindsay Gallup. Amanda Gray and Erica Chadwick lead the Creative Estimating Workshop.

We’ve pulled a couple of agency decks from the files and have recruited artist representative Erica Chadwick from ETC Creative and producer Amanda Gray from Amanda Gray Productions to provide insight on how to dissect any photography estimate. In this workshop we’ll look behind the numbers to estimate a location lifestyle shoot including unlimited usage and analyze a still life food shoot. Preparing a winning estimate can take equal parts science and art. Register for this event and receive hands-on training on how to analyze an agency deck, bid creative fees and usage, understand production costs, and learn trade secrets to get the numbers “in budget” to win the project.
