 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 production will be made upon receipt of an invoice
   -

      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.


   -

   The first photo shoots (one per production) are to capture all
   headshots, promo photos and group photos. Dates 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 headshot/group 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 2020-2021 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 also be 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 2020-2021 season, the photographer will
   furnish final digital copies of the production 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 pricing proposals (per production) along with a brief
portfolio (2-3 photographs, including at least one headshot and 1 live
action/performance shot) via email to pr at sloctheater.org and
president at sloctheater.org no later than June 15, 2020.
