Planning tips
Planning your coverage in North Carolina
Share a map and schedule
Send the site map, stage schedule and parade or race route. This lets us plan where to be for each part of the event and how many hours to book.
Book by the key moments
Many festivals run all day. Booking 4 to 6 hours around the opening, headline performances and busiest periods is often more efficient than covering every hour.
Plan for outdoor light
Midday sun is harsh. If you can, schedule key performances and group photos for the morning or late afternoon, and tell us about any evening events with stage lighting.
Use multiple shooters for large events
A second photographer or videographer helps cover multiple stages, long parade routes or a race start and finish at the same time.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
