What does the day look like?
Your day runs on briefs, budgets and contracts. You review creative briefs from advertising agencies, luxury brands and magazine picture editors, pitch roster photographers with tailored PDF decks and web portfolios, estimate production, crew fees, equipment rental, insurance and travel, negotiate day rates and usage rights for media, geography and duration, run production calls, track deadlines and billing, then collect payment, take 15% to 25% commission and remit the balance to the photographer. Tools are BlinkBid, Hot Budget, QuickBooks, Xero, Capture One, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Keynote, InDesign, DFStudio, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Slack and Asana.
Hours are 09:00 to 18:00 in the office, with on-call evenings and weekends during active shoots or urgent production changes. There is no formal night shift, but time-zone coordination is constant. About 15% is editorial shoots, famous photographers and gallery views; 85% is negotiation, drafting, spreadsheets, chasing invoices and email pitching.
