Photography / Christian A. Guerrero
Editorial photography.
People in the worlds they make.
01 / APPROACH
My approach
An editorial assignment needs a point of view. I start with the story, the subject, and where the images will live, then work toward photographs that give the audience something more than a description.
That can mean a portrait in someone’s working space, the detail that explains a practice, or a moment observed rather than arranged. The assignment, production needs, and image usage are scoped together.

Includes 12 months of nonexclusive use on the commissioning client's own website, organic social channels and internal communications. Existing posts may remain archived after that term. Paid advertising, sponsor distribution, resale and third-party use require a separate license.
Editorial assignments +
The creative fee covers the booked shoot and basic planning. Production expenses, image processing and the publication license are quoted separately. The estimate identifies the publication, story, selected images, media, territory and term. Brand-owned content uses the brand editorial rate; advertising usage is separately licensed.
Production and delivery +
Assistants, studio or location fees, permits, travel, parking, hair and makeup, advanced retouching and applicable taxes are additional. Event delivery target is 5 to 7 business days; rush delivery requires an agreed fee and schedule. RAW files are not standard deliverables.
Send the date, location, run of show, coverage hours, intended uses and delivery deadline for a tailored estimate. Portrait and headshot rates appear on the next page.
