A PRO shoot will provide you with photos that will make you stand out in the martial arts industry and is at the same time a great retention tool for your students. And the best is: it is at no cost to your school*.
During a PRO shoot, I set up a professional Studio at your academy! The goal is to provide you with your “own stock photos” that feature your students and team as brand ambassadors. At the same time you are offering your students a cool experience and lasting memories. How is it at no cost to you? See below. PRO shoots are usually booked in conjunction with a Candid shoot. The candid shots create the “feel” and the PRO shoot the “impact”. These photos are perfect for flyers, campaigns or posters and look super professional. And your students walk away with professionally edited high res files!
THREE STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL PRO SHOOT
STEP 1 Preparation
- DATE & TIME: We pick a day. Depending on the size of your academy I can do the shoot during classes but it works better if there are no classes running as it can be a bit distracting.
- SHOOTING ROSTER: Each student gets 10 minutes (which is plenty of time) with me.
- PROMOTE SHOOT: Get everybody excited!! I will help you with marketing materials and tips on how to promote it
STEP 2 Actual Photo Shoot
- SET UP: I set up my mobile studio
- SHOOTING: we shoot and have fun!! Yourself or one of your instructors assists me in giving the students some input for techniques and movements so we can get the best out of the 10 minutes. Parents are welcome to watch and encourage and take behind the scenes photos and videos (hint hint: this is great especially if they post and tag you as an academy!)

STEP 3 Delivery of files
After the shoot, your students will get the opportunity to pick their favorite 10 photos which I will clean up. They will each get a personal link where they can download their high res files from. You as the school owner will get a copy of all the selected photos plus some of your own that you can use for promotional purposes and advertising.
WHY IT WORKS
You create a unique opportunity for your students to get professional action shots of themselves for a very low price. In exchange for promoting the event and providing your dojo to host the shoot you get to use the resulting photos for free. I will provide you with all the marketing material you need to get your students excited and involved!
