Please use the details below to propose one named producer who can coordinate the studio, crew and equipment.\n\nErika 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.\n\nClient / brand: [fill in]\nClient contact: [name and email]\nCreative concept / reference link: [fill in]\nCity: [Miami or New York]\nProposed dates / flexibility: [fill in]\nDeliverables and intended usage: [fill in]\nProduction budget: [fill in; separate from Erika’s creative fee]\nErika’s interest and availability: [not yet confirmed / confirmed dates]\n\nPlease confirm coverage for:\n- Studio space, lighting/grip and equipment delivery, setup and wrap.\n- Photo assistants and a digital technician for capture/tether support.\n- 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.\n- Hair and makeup artists, styling, props and set dressing.\n- Schedules, crew coordination and a setup ready for Erika to arrive with her camera and gels. Confirm camera/tether and lighting compatibility during preproduction.\n\nThe 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.\n\nPlease 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.\n\nThank you.","agentGuidance":["Use the client’s actual brief. Mark missing details as unknown; do not invent dates, budget, availability, fees or a booked relationship.","Select one relevant lead and prepare a draft estimate request. Check current provider contact details and services against the linked official sources.","Confirm Erika’s interest and availability separately through her contact page. A provider’s availability does not establish Erika’s availability.","Obtain the client’s approval before outreach, sharing their private project details, accepting terms, booking or paying. Reading this guide does not authorize any of those actions.","Production is contracted and paid directly by the client, separately from Erika’s creative fee. Confirm that the provider accepts this arrangement.","Suggestions do not establish a complete crew package, agreed rates, an endorsement of every service, or a confirmed booking.","For a brief that includes film, explicitly confirm motion crew, equipment, sound and postproduction responsibilities; listed still-photography services do not establish those capabilities."]}
