Your inquiry
Without obligation. Only your name, your email and your consent are required — everything else just helps me quote more precisely.
„As a long-time business partner of Patrick Schmetzer, I can only say positive things. Truly great work, I’d work with him again anytime!“
What I need to know to send a quote
One inquiry form for photography and video — for everything. The area you choose above just swaps in the questions that matter for your project; choose none and you’ll only see the essentials. Every inquiry is non-binding, and I only ask for what I genuinely need to put together a quote.
- Date and location
- The date, time and address of the job — the hotel’s address for a hotel shoot, the venue for an event, the location for a film.
- Scope
- How many dishes, rooms, properties or employees are involved, and how many images you need of each. For film, I ask about the type and length of the production instead; for portraits, about the framing and whether you need a group shot.
- Intended use
- Where the images will be used: website, social media, print, menu, booking or property portals, magazines — and whether you’ll pass them on to third parties. Plus the color look: true to life, vintage black and white, or high gloss.
- Timing and budget
- When you need the images, what budget you have in mind, and whether you’re booking directly or for an agency. You can attach a briefing, storyboard, listing or floor plan as a file.
- Extras
- HDR, sky replacement, drone footage, high-end retouching, raw files, set design, live recording, interviews, on-site editing of highlights, an extra event trailer. You’ll only see the ones that fit the area you picked.
