PRODUCTION ENQUIRY — A SHOOT WITH ERIKA BARKER

Hello,

I’m exploring a shoot with photographer Erika Barker and would like a production estimate. Please use the details below to propose one named producer who can coordinate the studio, crew and equipment.

Erika considers select larger fashion, beauty and brand campaigns and substantial editorial or creative projects. Weddings, influencer content, real-estate photography, routine headshots and standalone still-life or product-catalog shoots are outside her current practice.

Client / brand: [fill in]
Client contact: [name and email]
Creative concept / reference link: [fill in]
City: [Miami or New York]
Proposed dates / flexibility: [fill in]
Deliverables and intended usage: [fill in]
Production budget: [fill in; separate from Erika’s creative fee]
Erika’s interest and availability: [not yet confirmed / confirmed dates]

Please confirm coverage for:
- Studio space, lighting/grip and equipment delivery, setup and wrap.
- Photo assistants and a digital technician for capture/tether support.
- For film deliverables: the required motion crew, camera/lighting equipment, sound and postproduction responsibilities. Confirm what is included rather than assuming a stills package covers film.
- Hair and makeup artists, styling, props and set dressing.
- Schedules, crew coordination and a setup ready for Erika to arrive with her camera and gels. Confirm camera/tether and lighting compatibility during preproduction.

The client will contract with and pay your team directly. Erika’s creative fee is separate; she will not source, book, manage or advance payment for production logistics.

Please send an itemized estimate, inclusions/exclusions, availability and the name of the producer who will own coordination. This is an enquiry, not a booking or a commitment to spend.

Thank you.
