Commercial Photographer in Athens — Brand, Campaign & Event Photography by Kate Lang
My Approach to Commercial Photography in Athens
I am Kate Lang, a commercial photographer based in Athens, Greece, with 15 years of experience in advertising photography, brand campaigns and event production. Through Kate Lang Production I create photo and video content for brands, businesses, hotels, restaurants and creative agencies. I shoot across the Greek islands and travel worldwide.
What I Shoot as a Commercial Photographer in Athens
Advertising & Brand Campaign Photography
Every strong campaign starts with a concept, not a camera. When a brand or agency comes to me with a brief, I contribute to concept development, direction and production — moodboard, shot list, casting, locations — before a single frame is shot. That brief-to-delivery workflow is what separates campaign photography from simple pictures. My stock imagery has been distributed through Adobe Stock and Shutterstock, which keeps my work technically sharp and commercially aware.
A typical campaign shoot delivers:
- Hero images for campaigns and key visuals
- Detail crops for versatile layouts
- Social media frames in vertical and square formats
- Web and print assets in high resolution
One production can also cover photo and video together: with one team and one shoot day, you get a consistent visual language across your website, social channels and campaigns.
I work with brands, hotels, restaurants and agencies; selected projects include Hyatt, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, major esports tournaments and international business conferences. I communicate in English, Greek, Russian and Ukrainian, so international teams can brief me easily.
How the Shoot Works, Step by Step
A commercial shoot runs on a clear process: enquiry, brief and planning, shoot day, editing, delivery and licensing.
Before the shoot I need a clear brief: project goals, number of products or spaces, required views, deadline, visual references and intended use of the images. From this I build a moodboard and shot list. We discuss usage rights early, because licensing scope shapes both the concept and the quote.
On shoot day I work on location in Athens — hotels, restaurants, brand spaces — in a studio, or at events like conferences and launches. Photo and video are captured in a single visit. Athens is my operational base; for shoots on Mykonos, Santorini or Naxos, and across Europe, flying out of Athens International Airport is easy.
After the shoot comes professional retouching and editing. You receive selected, high-resolution digital files within 5 days, edited for the usage rights we agreed — web, print or social media. Files are organised so your team can find hero images, crops and formats instantly.
My Pricing & Packages for Commercial Photography in Athens
Commercial photography pricing in Athens is quoted per project, shaped by scope, duration and the usage rights your brand needs. Below are my core packages, with rates confirmed for 2026.
Commercial photography packages in Athens
| Package | What’s included | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Starting rate | Short shoot, core edited images | €300 |
| Half-day | Up to 4 hours, photo + video options, editing | €450 |
| Full-day | Up to 8 hours, photo + video, full edit | €700 |
What Shapes Your Commercial Photography Quote
Every shoot is quoted on clear factors. Duration: a half-day at €450 or a full day at €700, depending on the shot list. Deliverables: stills alone, or with video content added. Location: Athens shoots stay lean, while Mykonos or Santorini add travel. Finally, usage rights — media, territory, duration — are the biggest variable, and a legitimate part of the price, never a markup. Your detailed quote follows a short brief.
Where I Shoot: Athens, the Greek Islands & Across Europe
My home base is Athens — but my camera bag is packed for the islands as often as for the city. I shoot brand campaigns across Mykonos, Santorini and Naxos, where I know the light, the venues and the logistics. Athens International Airport makes travel shoots across Europe and worldwide refreshingly simple. Past work includes collaborations with hotel brands such as Hyatt. Name the location, and I’ll build the production around it.
Usage Rights & Licensing, Explained Simply
Licensing is one clear question: where, and for how long, will these images work for you? Every project includes a license defining media (web, social, print), territory and duration, agreed before the shoot begins — the same logic behind stock platforms like Adobe Stock and Shutterstock, where my work has been distributed. Tell me your usage scenario at the brief stage, and I’ll shape the terms around it.
How to Book Your Commercial Shoot
Booking is simple: send your enquiry through the contact page, and I will reply personally — in English, Greek, Russian or Ukrainian. My calendar fills quickly in the busy season, so the earlier you write, the better.
What to Include When You Enquire About a Commercial Shoot
The more I know before we speak, the faster I can put a precise quote in your hands. Tell me about the project, the scope, your deadline, and a few visual references. Just as important is the intended use of the images, because that defines the usage rights we agree on. I read every enquiry myself.
