How Do I Prepare for a Large-Scale Photo Production? – An Evening with Darius Ramazani (Former BFF Board Member)

Darius Ramazani is one of Germany’s most experienced photographers. Over the course of several decades, he has created major campaigns, features and portraits, held a leading position within the BFF, and gained an in-depth understanding of the industry through decades of hands-on experience.

A great photograph doesn’t begin when the shutter is pressed.

How does an initial idea develop into a production involving clients, models, locations, equipment, schedules and a team working together to create a final image? Where do the typical pitfalls lie? And which decisions need to be made long before a camera is even set up?

This evening is aimed at photographers as well as everyone involved in large-scale productions: agencies, scouts, photo assistants, models and many others. It offers an insightful look at how professional image productions actually come together – informative, honest and entertaining, with stories from a long and successful career. The talk is illustrated by numerous milestones from major campaigns that have long since become part of our collective visual memory.
