   up to six (6) promotional photos;
   -

   up to six (6) group shots, to include playbill centerfold image;

   up to sixteen (16) new cast/production team headshots;
   -

   Minimum of twenty (20) production (“tech”) photos, prior to show opening;
   -

   all retouching and preparation for printing the foregoing as deemed
   necessary by the selected photographer; available within 72 hours of
   selection (with the exception of the “tech” photos**) and,
   -

   any additional shots requested by SLOC, based on amount of retouching
   required as deemed necessary by the selected photographer.

RELATED PROVISIONS FOR CONSIDERATION:

   -

   All photos become the property of SLOC at the end of each photo shoot,
   and can be used by the selected photographer for promotional purposes.
   -

   Payment for each show will be made upon receipt of an invoice for each
   show
   -

      No headshot, printed or digital, is to be provided by SLOC to the
      actor, production team member, or other SLOC personnel at any
time without
      express consent of the selected photographer. The selected photographer
      reserves the right to provide those photographed with copies for fees
      without compensation to SLOC.


   -

   Photo shoot dates for SLOC’s 2019- 2020 season will be established by
   each production team within two weeks of when rehearsals begin. The
   photographer will be contacted by the PR and Advertising Director when
   date(s) have been decided.
   -

   All photo shoots will be scheduled at least FOUR (4) weeks before
   opening night to ensure timely delivery of the photos. Since the photo
   shoot is based on cast availability, if the photographer needs to switch
   the date to fit his/her schedule, the photographer will make arrangements
   for any photos that could not be taken to accommodate the photographer, at
   no additional cost, and still within 4 weeks of the show opening.


   -

   For each production in SLOC’s 2019-2020 season, the photographer will
   furnish proofs of headshots, group shots, and promotional photos within 72
   hours for review by the Director, Producer(s), and PR & Advertising
   Director. The selected photographer is not tasked with the printing of any
   headshots or group shots, however if they have a relationship with a
   cost-effective printer, they can notify the PR & Advertising Director.
   -

   Photographer must be also available on the Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday
   evenings prior to opening night for production (“tech”) photos. These dates
   will be provided at the start of the season for all shows. Photographer may
   choose to come multiple nights, but will only be compensated for the result
   of (a minimum of) 20 production photos.


   -

   **For each production in SLOC’s 2019-2020 season, the photographer will
   furnish proofs of the production (“tech”) photos on or prior to noon,
   the Wednesday before the show opens. These photos must be shared with
   the PR & Advertising Director electronically, and may also be shared via
   social media if the photographer has a business page.

Please submit proposals along with a brief (2-3 photographs) portfolio via
email to pr at sloctheater.org and president at sloctheater.org no later than
June 21, 2019.
