Questions

Frequently asked questions


Do you photograph film premieres and screenings in Toronto?

Yes. We have photographed and filmed premieres and screenings for Illume Films since July 2023, in Toronto and New York.

Can you adapt our key art for the screening?

Yes. We rebuild key art for North America, with new dates and credits, then make the backdrop, standees, posters, 4K screen poster and social posts from it.

How fast do we get the photos and video?

20 edited photos the same day, the full album within 24 hours, and the first draft of a highlight video under 1 minute within 48 hours. The timing is set out in your written quote before the day.

Do you cover both photo and video?

Yes. One team can cover event photography and event videography at the same event.

How much does it cost?

Every project is quoted from your brief. The quote depends on the hours on site, the size of the crew, whether you need photo, video or both, and the design work you need.
