WEEK 5 BOC: Competitive Anaylsis

I would say that these four photography companies have their assets and make their name well known. Red Rock Studios has a good way of displaying their works. They have a blog to show what they have been doing and putting into the community. They have been Go Red for women that help fund the American Heart Association. They have held a mini session to make nice packages for their clients needs. They do portraits for families, seniors, couples and children. And lastly they do wedding photography at the location where their clients are having their wedding event. They do a one to one contact with wedding events so it is personalized just for the their clients taste. 1. The Cohens Photography have a grandeous variety of photos of different occasions. I think they have good photos but they are disorganized and seem to have you looking and getting lost in their long line of products. Their categories are Recent Work, Weddings, and Clients. Their recent work have just couples, children. Pregnancy and in the middle of them are some photos of them playing paintball when they have off time together. It is nice to show off what they like to do but not on a business website and not categorized in the right way. They are not a company that is business because they have only a list of photos and have not categorized them. They don’t have a contact page to find them. Every business must have a contact page. They would have a hard time trying to get clients with no contact page. (2) Desert Ice Studios has a wide variety of photos. They have weddings, commercial, events, family, and fashion. Each one has a great variety of photos they have taken. They have a contact page, a blog to show what they have been doing recently and over the past months. They come to their clients and do head shots and provide them with needed portraits within the comfort of their office or home. They do digital work and show how each photo has been digitally transformed to adhere to their clients needs. Their studio is displayed through photos they have taken of their office and space here in Las Vegas. They have orders where the client have options to order what they would like to do with their photos.

A Thousand Words Studios has some photos They do a Fine Art that is not Fine art because it is displaying instruments. They have photos of different types but they are not categorized very well. You have to scroll down to see their gallery and see on that page are categories that pop out. Their blog is not found and not working. I think it is too unorganized to be a business type photography. They have an email and a phone number but describing that her studio is within residence. No business should describe their location at all unless they do have an office set apart from their residency. (4)

WEEK 4 EOC: What Must Be On a Contract

All contracts must have a date on them. If you do not put a date then it is no negligible on your account. The term of time is reason to believe when it was done. You also must have a statement of the contract. The statement clarifies what the two parties agreed on. You must have signatures from both parties so that it is claimed as legal and the parties show that they agreed to such terms. On an editorial contract, one must write out the usage and the allowance of the usage. The allowance will be a range from a minimum to a maximum. Outline the fees and state what the fees are for so that it is clear to you and the client what is required for each item. For example use the terms quarter, half, full or double page rates. Editorial are based on the finished product. You must have a amendment in writing any changes which is called change orders. It has to say ”work-made-for-hire or you will not get your rights of ownership granted. There are negotiable contracts where you will send in your numbers or your estimates after your client has stated their time and estimates. A stamp with your company name, copyright . year, and contact information stating that you own the right to that document. On an estimate contract you must have the date, fees, product charges, contact information, and a signature with the date. It is your responsibility to have your information stated on the contract or it is lost in what was said on the meeting. If there is question on any part of your contract there has to be a change in order contract to make it more legal for both parties. All these essentials are needed on every contract.
