We create award winning content,
and tell stories through photo and video.
It’s All About Connecting
Great content does more than show pretty pictures, it move people and motivate them. It inspires people to get involved, and to do more for their communities. At AV Collective, we specialize in Storytelling through photography and video. Whether it’s a small business owner talking about why they risked it all to go out on their own, so they can connect deeper with their audience. Or it’s engaging photography that shows about how a company’s connects with their community. We do it all, and when it’s done, we win awards for the work we do.
For your event at Crayons to Cradles we’ll show up to capture photography employees and executives giving back to the community. Our documentary style perfectly fits an event like this, capturing people as they help out those who might be less fortunate. But also we’re able to pose groups and bring people together to help create the imagery you need for your CSR Reports and websites.
We’ll capture a wide array of images, from wide establishing shots to candids to portraits. If there are executives or special groups you want to make sure get captured, just have the on site contact let us know who’s who on the day of and we can make sure to highlight them. After the event we’ll edit the photos and provide 3 formats… high res for print, these are great to put right into a brochure or PDF. Web resolution for web and social. And, though we typically don’t do this, we’ll provide the un edited RAW files as well. All will be provided within 48 hours of the end of the event and will be delivered digitally via the cloud.
Let’s look at some work.
Why clients hire us.
This is where I was going to write some pithy thing about how we have the experience and background to handle anything that comes our way, but I figured I’d just let past clients say some nice things.
“Working with Cal at AV Collective has been a feather in my professional cap. We have created work that changed the way people thought of my company, turning our executives and customers into rock stars. Cal is highly creative; he can put together innovative ideas and concepts independently. Cal is also highly collaborative, so you can bring your ideas (no matter how crazy) with you and he can help bring them to life or balance them with the pragmatism of what’s achievable. ”
“Cal is amazing! The photos he took at our fundraising event, The Bash, were stellar! He captured every element of the event including the guests & guest excitement, the overall atmosphere, volunteers, and so much more. He was an absolute delight to work with.”
“Cal and his team were great to work with. His team was recommended to me this summer and their work consistently exceeds our expectations. They ask thoughtful questions to ensure they fully understand our goals, and their work is spot on. I look forward to working with them again.”
“Words do not describe how amazing Cal and the team have been to work with. They have helped our agency out on a lot of last minute projects. We are very exciting to continue to work with them and look forward to many future projects.”
I’m sure you’re wondering the cost.
We get it, in the end the budget is a big part of the decisions made about a project. We always ask people what their budget looks like, this gives us an idea of what the expectations are production wise. But then we take everything we’ve learned and we put together a detailed estimate. So, without further ado, here you go…
Hopefully this works for you, I’d love to collaborate on this project. Please reach out with any questions. And if you want to move forward, let’s get the project kicked off!
Learn more about us.
We’ve done it all.
Undoubtedly you’ve looked at a couple photographers and production companies to partner with. We’re a little different than most. We have the experience necessary to execute your project, and most importantly, handle the inevitable issues that come up throughout it. We come from an agency and brand background. We’re able to use the experience we gained, working with some of the biggest brands in the world, to execute across all levels. If you’re a small business, like we are, this is the best of both worlds for your company. You get the expertise of experts who work with brands like McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, and Nabisco (both in agency life and at AV Collective), but without having to pay for the overhead of a big agency.
We’ve Been Around.
We’re not kids who just graduated from college and started their own thing. Our founder & Creative Director, Cal Engel has over 20 years experience in the industry. Spanning from traditional marketing agencies to innovation agencies to brands to digital out of home, even working with literally the biggest music acts in the world. Six years ago he decided to form AV Collective as a way to provide that same high quality work to clients, but without them having to pay the overhead of a traditional agency.
Why’s that important for you? Every project is going to have challenges. It’s about the knowledge and expertise of the people you work with, that allows them to overcome those challenges and deliver projects beyond your expectations. If content creation was easy, you could hand a camera to your cousin and they’d be the next Ansel Adams. But we’ve seen it all, we’ve run into it all, and we’ve overcome it all to deliver the best quality work, and the most engaging stories, for our clients.
We’re Different.
Whether you’ve got a spark of an idea and need someone to handle things from start to finish. Or you’ve got an internal creative team and you need help executing the content. We do it all. Our ability to scale to match projects is one of the things that differentiates us from the rest. One week we might be managing teams in 10 countries filming interviews for global clients, and the next week we’re creating fun motion graphics content for a business owner looking to build their company to that global level.
We’re grateful to be able to tell stories and create content each and every day. And we’d love to collaborate with you on something. Click the button below and reach out. We can’t wait to hear from you!
