For Clients

Commission a
project.

Whether you need photography at your event, a brand refresh, a content roadmap, or a member relations plan — we match you with the right student creative and manage the whole engagement.

Start a brief

How it works

01

Brief us on your goals

Tell us what you need: a shoot, a strategy, a brand refresh, or all three. We will confirm fit and scope.

02

We match you with a creative

We select the best-fit student from our network based on your brief and their availability.

03

Review the deliverables

Files are uploaded to your private gallery. You review them before the project is marked complete.

04

Receive your deliverables

Production work is downloadable from your private gallery, licensed and ready to use. Consulting engagements close with a structured document you can act on immediately.

Beyond production

Strategy & consulting.

Not every brief starts with a camera or a design file. We also work with organisations on the strategic side, helping you figure out what to communicate, to whom, and how. These engagements are scoped, planned, and delivered just like any other project.

  • Content roadmap. What to create, when, and for which channels — built around your audience, goals, and resources.
  • Brand refresh. Updating your visual identity and tone of voice to match where your organisation is now.
  • Member relations plan. For associations and societies: a structured approach to engaging and communicating with your members.
  • Social & communications strategy. Platform selection, content pillars, posting cadence, and the connective tissue between your channels.

What you get

Standard-resolution deliverables

Web-optimised files suitable for digital use, included with every project. Standard files are available to download for 7 days from the time of upload.

Private gallery

Your files live in a secure gallery. No public links, no shared folders.

Clear licensing

Every deliverable comes with an explicit license so you know exactly what you can do with the work.

GDPR-compliant delivery

Your files are stored in European data centres only. Nothing leaves EU infrastructure.

High-res originals (add-on)

Full-resolution originals with extended hosting beyond the standard 7-day window, available as a paid tier priced by resolution and file size.

Distribution lists (add-on)

Send unique download links to large lists: attendees, journalists, sponsors, partner organisations.

Pricing

For student associations, societies, and campus events, many projects are taken on with no fee at all. Whether a project is paid depends on the type of client and what has been agreed in advance. We are always upfront about this from the first conversation.

For businesses and institutions, we work to competitive student rates, significantly below what agencies charge while maintaining professional quality. Pricing depends on scope, deliverable type, and turnaround time, and is agreed before work starts.

Project fees are settled directly with the creative or team involved. Leiden SCA only invoices for platform services: hosting beyond the standard 7-day window and distribution list sending. Standard web-resolution delivery is always included at no extra charge.

For invoicing and billing questions, contact [email protected].
