Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In many cases, that is the best starting point.Not every enquiry begins with a fixed package or a perfectly defined plan. Sometimes it simply starts with a car, an idea or a question and from there we can work out whether a shoot, a brokerage setup, a sourcing request or a custom solution makes sense.

Accepted Answer

Yes. In fact, many projects naturally overlap.For example, a vehicle owner might first book a shoot, then decide to sell the car afterwards. In another case, a brokerage project may also require photography, market positioning and international exposure.If multiple services are relevant, we can shape the project around what actually makes sense for the car and the goal.
