Support for Photoshoot for Finnish creative enterprises

High quality visuals are essential for any creative enterprise to grow their customer, client or audience base. Communication today, and particularly through social media and online, is highly visual and visual content is what gets noticed.  MyCreativeEdge.eu provides a highly visual platform to showcase your work.

Your ‘story’ is also key to marketing your product/service. Consumers and buyers are interested in the ‘how, why and who’ of creative work. Media and social media respond well to stories and images of the people behind the product or service.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Lapland University of Applied Sciences  through ‘a creative momentum project’ is seeking applications from creative enterprises based in Lapland or North Ostrobothnia to have a professional photoshoot of their enterprise.

Each selected creative enterprise will be assigned a professional photographer who will visit their studio/office/workspace/exhibition (or other location if preferred) to undertake a professional photoshoot focused on:

• Illustrating the creative process being undertaken by the individual / staff
• Key products, services, artworks etc.

The outcome would be a minimum of 10 high quality shots illustrating the creative individual /staff at work. The selected enterprise will discuss the shoot in advance with the photographer to explore the best way to illustrate their work and process especially enterprises which are more service based e.g. digital media, software development.
