Getting 50+ photos printed/mounted
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2007 3:15 pmHi all, just after a bit of advice. After doing my work's christmas party last week, I'm being seen as the guy who's into photography and being asked to do a couple more company things. A danger for anyone who's ever inadvertantly advertised "hey! I can take a decent photo and am therefore perfect for taking other photos for you!!"
But hey, I don't really mind doing it if I'm going to be there anyway, or if I can do it in company time and it doesn't affect my ability to deliver my normal work. Gives me a chance to
So anyway, my brief for February (if the marketing manager can sweettalk my manager into borrowing me) is that there is a conference where a bunch of sales and marketing people get together at head office in sydney every year. They want to get a group photo done and printed for all the attendees, and also some individual photos (headshots) taken of the people there. Probably about 50-55 people or so.
Taking the photos is not a problem (get a chance to put the lessons learnt on strobist into use!!), I am just after some suggestions from people on how to get them printed.
The marketing manager showed me last year's photo and I think they are keen to do something similar.. Looks like basically a 5x7 print mounted in a white matte - you could go and frame that afterwards I suppose. Does anyone have any recommendations for places that would do this?
Timing would be quite tight. Shoot on the monday, have the file ready on Tueday, need to give the attendees the photos on Friday before they jet off to the various offices interstate and overseas. Therefore would need to ability to either upload the file or I suppose courier a disc across. Sydney preferred, just from the point of view of timing, but if anyone has had positive experiences with fast delivery from places interstate, I would be much obliged for any recommendations
