Burgschneider Photography Initiative


A Visual Improvement Initiative

Burgschneider Photography is an initiative to improve the visual representation of the communities our customers are active within. This initiative's goal is to provide increased exposure for photographers, filmmakers, and events by working directly with them to produce visual assets that highlight their hard work and dedication. Through this initiative we hope to improve the public perception and representation of these communities, and refocus the audience's attention on the creativity and potential of the subject.


How it Works

Burgschneider Photography Initiative works by connecting Photographers with Communities to produce high quality photographs that represent a community to the fullest. Photographers and Filmmakers apply by submitting their information and portfolio through the provided link below. For Events and Groups (ie. Communities), once submitted, Burgschneider matches a Photographer with a Community and helps to facilitate in the development of visual assets. Once these visual assets are produced, Burgschneider then releases and promotes the content, providing a broad platform for which promotion can take place. Through this, Burgschneider aims to improve the representation and visual marketing of the communities it engages in.

Simply put, the Burgschneider Photography Initiative aims to help subsidize the overhead photographers incur by purchasing a set of photos taken from an event. This means the photographer retains the rights to use these photos as well, and Burgschneider simply purchases the rights to promote the photographer and the event. This in turn supports the event, and the photographer while utilizing Burgschneider's reach to engage the community and inspire creativity.
