Working with an agency like WEMAKE offers numerous advantages over hiring a full-time employee. Agencies provide access to a diverse team of specialists with a wide range of skills and expertise, ensuring comprehensive and high-quality output. This collaborative approach brings fresh, innovative ideas from multiple perspectives, which can be more dynamic than relying on a single individual. Additionally, agencies are often more cost-effective, as you only pay for the services you need without the overhead costs of a full-time salary, benefits, and ongoing training. Agencies also offer scalability, allowing you to adjust the level of support based on your project demands, ensuring flexibility and efficiency. This allows your brand to stay agile and competitive in the fast-paced fashion industry.

We accept all forms of payment EXCEPT “exposure” (lol).

A 50% deposit + all production costs (such as props, etc.) are required before we commence the shoot. At the completion of the shoot, a 40% payment is required - this will cover any additional costs incurred and approved, for the shoot (things like additional shopping that may be required or that extra light needed to make the image “pop”). We will then deliver final assets watermarked and a final 10% payment is required in order to have all assets sent with watermarked removed.

Any additional usage charges are required to be paid before the date of publication. For example, if your digital ads are going live for Black Friday, we would need payment 7 days prior.

If you are in the local Los Angeles area, we’re happy to have your products dropped off to our studio.

If you are not based in LA or if you are international, we’re happy to receive a shipment from you or directly from your manufacturer. If you need your product(s) sent back, please make sure to include a return shipping label.

We pride ourselves on communication. Once you have determined if we’re a good fit for your project we will send you a project estimate. Once that estimate is approved, a service agreement & contract is sent. In order to begin the project, a 50% deposit plus any additional production fees + a signed contract is required.

Once all the boring paperwork is out of the way, we can begin the pre-production process. This stage is where we will start bringing your project to life with mood boards, talent casting, location scouting and/or prop sourcing. A specific client folder, Slack channel and project documents will be created automatically. You will be notified each step of the way with a detailed timeline for your approval, all stored online using Coda.io.

Then, the shoot is scheduled and the magic happens.

We will then export images for you to write your selections via a specific Google worksheet - or we can select for you. Once the assets have been approved, they are sent for post-production. Post-production normally takes between 7-14 days (depending on the scope). We offer one round of revisions before delivering final assets to you via the Google Drive (mentioned above).
