Your time and the time of other decision makers is valuable and is not best spent hanging around a studio waiting for the next polaroid.

Don't get me wrong, we love to have you around keeping us company - we've even got a great pool table in the studio to help pass those idle moments...... and we make the best coffee.

But maybe you're not located in Melbourne or even Australia and it's simply an impossibility to find not just the time, but also the budget for supervision.

Here's how its done:

1. Fax or e-mail a layout or concept to us.

2. We'll speak further on the phone to discuss the project in detail after which we'll fax you an estimate.

3. If props or styling are involved, we can e-mail images of the selections so you can have final input.

It's that easy. Try it next time.

Now decisions about choice of photographer need not be made with those problems in mind.

In less time than it takes to process a polaroid image, we can e-mail a full colour copy of that polaroid for you to review. You can even place this e-mailed file into your page layout to see how it fits and how it looks!

OK, if the photo shoot is on location in the Maldives, then you just have to be there; but downtown Richmond (pool table or no pool table ) can these days be left off the agenda.

( Unless of course you can smell the coffee.....)

4. The shot will be set-up and progress polaroids are e-mailed for you to review as required. Further discussions by phone can be held to fine tune any critical details.

5. When the image is approved, it is then exposed onto film and sent via overnight bag - or if preferred a high-end drum scan is organised and the image written straight to CD. Any digital retouching or manipulation can be performed if required at this stage, prior to delivery.
