What we shoot

Four kinds of light.

We shoot four kinds of work, in four different ways. Below is what each looks like, what's included, and how to know which one your project belongs in. If you're unsure, send a note and we'll point you at the right page.

01 — Engagements & weddings

A day, watched closely.

A single shooter (Selasi), one full day of coverage from prep through reception, and a second assistant for the ceremony if you'd like one. We do not deliver same-day galleries. We deliver one hundred and forty hand-edited frames, three to six weeks after the shoot, in a private gallery that does not expire.

Pre-shoot consultation (in person in Accra or by video call)
Up to 10 hours of coverage on the day
~140 edited high-resolution images, delivered in private gallery
Personal-use print release
One curated album option (sold separately, see pricing)

02 — Family & personal portraits

An afternoon, kept.

In-home or on-location portrait sessions: two hours of shooting, usually in the late-afternoon light, anywhere in greater Accra. We come with one body, one or two prime lenses, and no lights. The whole point of these is to look like the room they were taken in.

2 hours on-location coverage
Up to six people in the same session
~45 edited frames in private gallery
Two framed prints included (8×10, archival)
Print release for personal use

Family portrait, environmental, kitchen window light

03 — Brand & commercial

A campaign, considered.

Founder portraits, product still life, lookbooks, lifestyle. Day-rate or project-rate; the cost depends on the licensing window and crew. We work most fluently when there is a creative director on the other side and a tight brief — but we have, twice, started from a one-sentence email and made something good.

Pre-production: shot list, light plan, location scouting
Half-day or full-day on set (crew up to four)
Edited delivery 5–10 working days post-shoot
Standard 12-month commercial license; extensions on request
Optional motion stills with retainer

04 — Editorial

A story, on assignment.

Magazine and newspaper assignments. We've shot for Nilo Quarterly, the BJP, Heritage GH, FT Weekend, and a handful of cultural institutions. Editorial rates are at industry standard; we are sometimes willing to do them at less for the right publication and the right brief.

Quoted per assignment
Shoot, edit, caption-pass, delivery within 72 hours of shoot day
Standard editorial license, single use
