INTERNATIONAL PHOTO PRODUCTION Mar 2011

Budget Productions is a young venture started by a group of old producers. By maintaining the “body and soul” of years of experience across many countries, Connie Schmidt-Reimer and Christian Bengsch merged to create Budget Productions for France and Spain.

Budget tailors its services to magazines, catalogues and photographers working on a tight budget who need real, close-at-hand locations. The idea is to open sunny streets and beaches to the small briefcase, creating the equivalent of prêt-à-porter locations. Budget strips a fashion or editorial shoot down to its essential needs, with clients renouncing only the higher-end comforts of the production process.

The Budget concept benefits from a range of initiatives launched by Mediterranean towns and cities to promote audiovisual projects by waiving the usual location fees. In terms of service everything else remains the same, with Budget providing 12 years of experience in photo production, an unparalleled level of service for each and every project, and an extensive database of locations on the Costa del Sol and French Riviera.
