Before the camera
The photograph starts before the shutter.
Knowing what the image is for helps decide the light, location and how much time to allow. A short conversation can also cover clothes, references and anything that would make the session more comfortable.
The brief should explain what happens after the shoot, too: how images are selected, which edits are included and where the final photographs may be used.
