BRIEFS
Briefs are the main guidelines and MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the customer and the photographer.
In other words, a photography brief is a summary of agreements and requirements between the client and the photographer. This piece of document is what will ensure the success and effectiveness of the shoot or project.
The photographic brief must indicate the following information:
- Specify angles for every image or scene in the video
- Specify lighting requirements (inc. shadows, highlights, and type of lighting preferred)
- Specify color requirements (Some products may appear different during the shoot. Especially glossy, transparent, or items with a special
- coating. So, if you have certain requirements, you must state them in the brief)
- Sample shots must be included in the brief to explain the assignment
- Let the photographer know if you have any specific requirements regarding the shoot.
Without the photography brief, ensuring the smooth flow of the project will be difficult. And the client and photographer may not be in sync with each other, especially in terms of creative and business goals.
