BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the founder of Ayaeo, a clothing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Christopher Scott Creative Agency?

I needed some photography for my website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Christopher (Freelance Photographer) has helped me with two projects. First, he did the photography for a soft launch photoshoot for my website.

I then hired him again recently and he did photography and location scouting for another shoot. 

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with Christopher, a creative director, an assistant, and a lighting specialist.

How did you come to work with Christopher Scott Creative Agency?

I found him through a friend of mine who had worked with him before.

What is the status of this engagement?

I worked with him in October 2018 and again in April 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

I was really satisfied both times that I worked with him. It was the first time that I had worked with a photographer because my business was new but I thought he did a really good job.

How did Christopher Scott Creative Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

He was organized and easy to work with. We communicated via email and in-person.

What did you find most impressive about them?

There were a few times when we had some less than favorable conditions but he went above and beyond to problem solve. He was trustworthy and easy-going, which made me feel comfortable.

Are there any areas they could improve?

His own creative direction could use some work. He could’ve provided the models with a little more guidance such as encouraging them to pose in certain ways. That was a minor thing, though.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Develop a genuine connection with him. Christopher is a great person who believes in his clients and loves what he does. If you’re authentic with him, he’s going to show up in the same way.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Christopher Scott Creative Agency?

We hired Chris (Freelance Photographer, Christopher Scott Creative Agency) as a photographer for our business. We wanted someone who understood the technical side as well as the creative aspects.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Chris has served as a great resource. He’ll do the location scouting to find an optimal location, especially outdoor shoots that require alternative options. He’ll source all of the equipment we’ll need and get everything for the shoot. On the day, he follows my schedule and direction to capture what we need. 

What is the team composition?

I work directly with Chris. 

How did you come to work with Christopher Scott Creative Agency?

I found him using an online community called Model Mayhem. I loved our initial conversations about a shoot he was planning. In addition to thinking he was very well organized, he also seemed very thoughtful, creative, and diligent. I used him for a few personal projects, and liked his services so much that I hired him for the business. 

How much have you invested with them?

The price depends on the client. We’ve spent up to $2,000 per day but Chris is flexible based on our budget. 

What is the status of this engagement?

I hired him for my business in June 2018 and our engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

All of the final products are very beautiful. I’ve been able to expand to working with new clients because of Chris’ work in my portfolio. He’s my first choice when it comes to a photographer since he produces such wonderful results for my clients. 

How did Christopher Scott Creative Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

He’s extremely responsive. We usually talk on the phone or use messaging services, but he’s available by every channel. We’re always in constant communication during the planning of a shoot. He’s an incredible resource for me and ensures the quality is top-notch during our shoots. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Within the first year of knowing him, I’ve been able to watch him learn and grow really quickly in this space. He keeps becoming exponentially more talented. I’d work with him for every single shoot if I could. He’s one of the best people to have on set because he’s always looking for solutions and remains positive with high energy. I’ve worked with companies that don’t have these qualities, so Chris is an asset in that way. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nothing comes to mind on the production side and I don’t typically use him for the post-production work. I have nothing bad to say about him. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Keep the dialogue open and share everything early and often.
