Photography and Director.

We have met before but please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Willym Brown, and I am a fine art photographer at heart. I specialize in branding, editorial, and conceptual art. My editorial and conceptual work can be found in Vogue Italia, Sticks And Stones, Nakid, Elegant, and The Fox. The company I currently work with, Roguepaq, can be found with reviews in LA Times, Rolling Stones, and Forbes. I would love the opportunity to help WMI Records build work that will really help accelerate your online presence with social media, web, and press releases. I am very comfortable with working and directing big teams with years of experience. Let’s create mood boards to help draw inspiration, make checklists of your must haves, and let me help you build the perfect team that will really help represent your brand so we can draw in the clientele you’re hoping to attract.

Models.

Models are a must have on the team and I have begun to make a list of a few candidates. I am also open to the idea of going straight through an agency such as Wilhelmina. I am huge on inclusivity so I will always recommend your cast looks diverse. I personally think 3 models would give you the most out of this shoot. Any more and I would be worried about not paying attention to the fine details. $200 is the average rate for experienced models. I do have some options for models with a little less experience though if we are trying to budget. I am really good at working with models in posing as I do a lot of portfolio building for agencies. With a naturalistic approach to the photos we will be set to work with any budget on this.

Hair and Makeup.

My Denver team is amazing and there is so much synergy on set with having them there that would make me feel most comfortable. My go to artists are Carolina Vasquez (Makeup), Emily Hempstead (Hair & Makeup) and Betsey Gradl (Hair). Emily, Betsey and Carolina have such affordable rates starting at $150 each for half day and $300 each for full day. They really bring a professional look and quality to the shoot that is so understated.Having at least Emily, who can do both, or Carolina, and one of the hair stylists would be perfect for this shoot.

Styling.

Jamie Vear is my current stylist. Her styling can be found in magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Pap, Vulkan, and lifestyle magazines like Modern Luxury. She is really great at bringing in an editorial touch that you would want for any PR releases. She is amazing at finding pieces for the shoot that can really make it feel timeless. Her rates are typically project dependent. She gave me a quote for $1,000 for the day plus travel which covers clothing rental and liability. I would say having someone handle those fees for us makes things a lot easier so we can focus on what we are good at. I can also offer my styling expertise as I am also a published stylist. I will say Jamie is far more qualified though.

Videography.

With the popularity of Tiktok and Instagram converting to reels video seems to be more and more of a necessity. Not only would a video look great on your social media accounts it would be a great option to really show your brand. World building is super important for branding and this really gets that message across. My rate is $1200 for video.
