Photography Brief



To give you an accurate estimate of how much your photography project is going to cost. It is essential that we conduct and plan in detail what is required to meet your business expectations, needs, budget and make your project a success. This can be achieved by producing a comprehensive Photography Brief.

Helping you prepare the commercial photography brief is part of Derek's service. To make the project cost effective as possible, think about how you might use the images in other ways, are you re-branding or do you have important business ethos messages that wish to be visualised. Clients should conduct a visual research analysis on their competitors and for examples of what your after. The aim is not to copy but do better and reinforce your marketing project with quality and professional imagery.

When putting together a brief for a photography commission, you need to include the following:
  • Date and scheduled amount of time available for the task
  • A location and point of contact on site

  • Whether consent forms are required
  • Branding colours, themes and mission statement - What messages the images should convey
  • How much creativity and imagination do you want from the photographer
