Corporate Photography vs Image Delivery & Asset Management
Which you need, what each costs, and when a project wants both — corporate photography compared with image delivery & asset management.
Last revised
Both sit under Photography & Product Visuals, and clients regularly ask which of the two they actually want. The short answer is below; the rest of this page is how to tell, what each costs, and the cases where a project needs both.
What each one is
- Corporate Photography Photography for businesses: headshots, teams, offices and events, consistent enough to use across a website, press and recruiting.
- Image Delivery & Asset Management Organizing, storing and delivering images after a shoot, so the right files reach the right places and can be found years later.
The numbers
| Corporate Photography | Image Delivery & Asset Management | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts at | From $1,650.00 per day | From $1,650.00 per day |
| Services underneath | 4 | 5 |
How to decide
Go with Corporate Photography when
- The job is specifically event photography, which sits under this one
- The job is specifically headshot photography, which sits under this one
- The job is specifically office & facility photography, which sits under this one
Go with Image Delivery & Asset Management when
- The job is specifically archive & backup strategy, which sits under this one
- The job is specifically digital asset management setup, which sits under this one
- The job is specifically format & derivative delivery, which sits under this one
When a project wants both
Worth knowing: More often than the question implies — the same job frequently touches both, and one team covers them, so moving between them is a conversation rather than a second supplier. If you are not sure which your files need, that is what the free trial is for. The process is the same either way: whichever you pick, the work runs through the same stages and is checked against the same bar. Photography & Product Visuals sets that out.
Questions we get on this specific choice
Is one of them cheaper?
They start at the same rate, so the choice is about what the job needs rather than about budget. Complexity moves both.
Which is faster?
Much the same, and volume moves the number far more than the choice between these two does.
Can you tell me which one my files need?
Yes, free. Send two or three real files — that judgment is part of the trial rather than something quoted separately.
Can I switch after we start?
Yes. If the files say the other one is the right answer, we re-quote before doing the work rather than after.
