The best business photos come from a shoot that was planned ahead. A few simple steps will save time on the day and give you more usable images.
Decide where the photos will be used
Website banners, social posts, menus and brochures all need different shapes and sizes. Tell your photographer where the images will go so they can frame each shot properly.
Make a shot list
List the products, spaces and people you want to capture. Include a few detail shots and a few wide shots so you have variety.
Prepare the space
Clean surfaces, remove clutter and check lighting. Small details like wrinkled uniforms or loose cables show up in photos.
Bring your brand along
Share your colors and a few photos you like. A consistent look across all your images makes your brand feel more professional.
Plan the follow up
Ask how many edited photos you will receive and how they will be delivered, so you can start using them right away.
