NEW YEARS
WHAT WILL THE NEW YEAR LOOK LIKE FOR THE GYPSY SHACK?
GOOD QUESTION...
WHEN we FIRST STARTED TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO JOIN THE TEAM WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO RECEIVE 70+ APPLICATIONS IN THE FIRST THREE DAYS... BUT WE DID!
PEOPLE SEEMED TO LATCH ON & LOVE THE IDEA OF A TEAM BUILT TO HELP GROW AND NURTURE IT'S ARTISTS; A TEAM CONSTRUCTED TO WORK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.
WHAT IS IT THAT WE DO EXACTLY?
OUR PURPOSE IS TO CONNECT CREATIVES WITH BUSINESSES OR OTHER CREATIVES WHO NEED HELP OR WANT ASSISTANCE. WE'RE A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHERS, MODELS, SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALISTS, BLOGGERS, MUA'S, STYLISTS, VIDEOGRAPHERS, GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, WEB DESIGNERS, ETC. WHO ARE OUT FOR HIRE & READY TO COLLABORATE! THAT COULD BE A COMPANY NEEDING HELP WITH CONTENT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA, OR IT COULD BE A SMALL BUSINESS WANTING US TO RUN/SCHEDULE/MANAGE SOCIAL MEDIA ENTIRELY. WE PULL TOGETHER LOOK-BOOKS AND HOLIDAY PROMOTIONAL SHOOTS, WE CONNECT PHOTOGRAPHERS AND START-UPS WITH FRESH FACES ( OUR MODELS AND INFLUENCERS) TO HELP GAIN EXPOSURE AS WELL AS BUILD QUALITY CONTENT FOR MARKETING PURPOSES. But that's not all we do! Our NETWORK is incredibly multi-faceted so any project you have for us, we'll be ready to take on! Just be clear in what your vision is, and we'll help make some magic happen!
IF YOU JUST NEED A MODEL FOR A SHOOT THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PLANNED, WE GOT YOU! NEED A MAKEUP ARTIST FOR A LAST MINUTE PARTY? SHOOT US AN EMAIL! WE HAVE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS WHO SPECIALIZE IN LOGOS, PROMOTIONAL PIECES, AND PRINTS, AND WE ALSO HAVE VIDEOGRAPHERS FOR ANY FUN EVENTS YOU MAY NEED COVERAGE FOR! LACKING MUSIC AND NEED A DJ? WE HAVE A FEW WE CAN CALL! WANT TO TAKE YOUR BRICK AND MORTAR BOUTIQUE ONLINE? WE HAVE WEB DESIGNERS AND STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHERS TO GET YOU STARTED! We have social media specialists, promoters, amongst many other talented creatives in the TGS family! OUR TEAM IS broad in talent & WE'RE READY TO TAKE ON ANY PROJECT THAT IS BROUGH TO US!
IS IT TOO LATE TO JOIN THE TGS TEAM?
NO! PLEASE APPLY!
WE'LL CONTINUE TAKING APPLICATIONS AND SCHEDULING TEST SHOOTS THROUGH THE YEAR! WE DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON ANY TALENt THAT COULD BE INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR TEAM, SO OUR DOORS ARE ALWAYS OPEN!
HOW DO OUR CREATIVES BENEFIT FROM BEING ON THE TGS TEAM?
THROUGH MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL COLLABORATION, EVERYONE GAINS EXPOSURE AS WELL AS CONNECTIONS THROUGH NETWORKING WHICH LEADS TO PAID GIGS LATER ON DOWN THE LINE! WE ALREADY HAVE STARTED GETTING OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS PAID JOBS AND WE INTEND TO DO THE SAME FOR ALL CREATIVES THAT WE BRING ON BOARD! IF BLOGGERS NEED MORE CONTENT WE'LL CONNECT THem WITH PHOTOGRAPHERS ON THE TEAM, AS WELL AS COMPANIES THAT ARE IN LINE WITH THE PURPOSE OF THEIR BLOG if they're in need of product, etc.! WE'll GET FRESH FACES and jobs for our PHOTOGRAPHERS AS WELL AS CONNECT THEM WITH BOUTIQUES TO SET UP CONSISTENT SHOOTS! If any of our team members want to try their hand at something different, we will fully support and help them by connecting them with to our network! We plan on taking "tgs family trips" and will constantly seek adventure and opportunities for our team! We will be hosting workshops and networking events for our team members so that we can all learn and grow!
WHAT ARE OUR PRICES LIKE?
IT DEPENDS ON THE PROJECT AND THE INVOLVEMENT YOU WANT FROM US! IF YOU WANT US TO PLAN, SCHEDULE, STYLE, AND SHOOT A PROMOTIONAL PROJECT IT WILL COST differently than lifestyle or PRODUCT SHOTS FOR AN ONLINE STORE! WE'RE OPEN TO ANY AND ALL PROJECTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A CURATED TEAM READY TO TAKE ON ANYTHING! IF BUDGET IS AN ISSUE, LET US KNOW! WE DON'T WANT TO TURN AWAY SMALL BUSINESSES OR START-UPS BECAUSE OF FUNDING ISSUES - We STARTED TGS FROM THE GROUND UP, Alex AS a 20 year old WORKING FULL TIME and GOING TO School FULL TIME, SO we completely UNDERSTAND THAT MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES and that sometimes we all just need a little help to start out! LET US KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN AFFORD FOR WHATEVER PROJECT IT IS THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND AND WE CAN WORK WITH THAT AND BALL OUT ON A BUDGET!
we have a tentative price sheet, so if anyone is interested or has a project in mind shoot us an email!
