What is CYNCMiami?
CYNCMiami creates professional fashion photography and video for the fashion and apparel industry. We specialize in indoor / outdoor photography for print catalogs, brochures, displays, lookbooks, magazine ads as well as video clips for websites, online stores, DVD or BlueRay media.
We offer optional full-service from pre-production to post-production and can handle anything from one-day studio shoots to several weeks of catalog production on location.
CYNCMiami is not a "photo-factory". Working with freelance talent and artists, which we carefully select to match each project's specific requirements, we keep things fresh and avoid routine-work and cookie-cutter results.
The exception to the rule is our digital workflow, in which we do religiously stick to our routines, and consistently deliver highest-quality results in both photo and video media.
How does it all work?
The basic principle: You bring your merchandise, we shoot images and/or video of it, you take merchandise and media back with you.
Option1: Do not worry about anything else, we take care of everything. Casting, location suggestions, booking of models, artists, producers, assistants, permits, insurances, travel arrangements, pre-production, post-production, shipping - you can leave it all to us.
Option2:
You have your own staff for organization and booking of photo-shoots or like to work with a specific production-company? No problem. Let us know if there is any part of the production you would like us to help with, otherwise we'll just focus on shooting images.
We are looking for outdoor photography only, or a mix of indoor and outdoor. Can you help us with that?
Of course we can. We can offer you a large variety of outdoor locations from beaches and palm trees to modern architecture and city scenes, interiors, exteriors, private homes, pools and more. Once we know what you have in mind we will put together an online location file for you to choose from.
What about model-casting and selection?
We request models from all major Miami agencies. If you like to work with specific agencies only or have favorite models that you had good experiences with in the past - let us know.
You can select models from composite cards and online portfolios, we can arrange video castings (which can be posted online or sent to you on DVD media) or live-castings in Miami.
What about model-booking?
Our team includes a very experienced booker who has worked in top model agencies for many years. Once you have selected your favorite models, we can help you to get the best possible rates and conditions for your production.
Why Miami?
Miami's fashion-photo infrastructure has successfully catered to the industry for almost 2 decades. A large variety of services including model agencies, agencies for hair & makeup artists and fashion stylists, rental houses, prop shops and digital services along with a vast selection of indoor and outdoor locations make Miami a perfect place for fashion-photo productions.
What are your rates?
Every production has its different requirements, so we have to price them individually. Our rates are competitive and our team is very budget-concious. Please contact us for a quote on your next project.
