\nIt costs money. Depreciation, maintenance, insurance. However, some of my clients do not need me to bring anything because they own photography equipment themselves. Sometimes because I have helped them set up an in-house photography department where one or two of their employees take photographs and they occasionally call me in for a job. I am more than happy to shoot with the stuff I advised them to buy in the first place.<\/p>\n
Second: a shoot without touching the camera<\/em> This thing can most adequately be described as Photography consultancy I think, since I am not a full blown art-director and I have specific technical knowledge of photography and related equipment.

\nSometimes people need a little confirmation and \/ or education. When the stakes are slightly higher than usual, for example when two fine cooks come over to create some material for an ad-campaign, I can come over and help the parties involved, rather than shoot it myself leaving them passive and none the wiser. This particular shoot for instance the photographer and I discussed the types of shots needed and wanted and possible extras, we discussed angles (the space had some constraints regarding backgrounds) and then I set up the lighting in the mean time telling her what I was doing and why.
\nWhen the happy subjects arrived the photographer was able to work confidently and shoot some great photographs. I intervened a couple of times to direct the cooks, who started referring to me as the strange fellow in the owl-sweater, before she got the hang of that too. This is win-win because it builds the confidence of the person holding the camera and it spreads knowledge.<\/p>\n![\"Photo](\"https:\/\/www.joerivanveen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/20151102_MG_7897-Jan-en-Lars.jpg\")
