Get started with your photography for your next project
Having a clear and effective brief helps your project to be a great success for your business. Taking the time to think about each element from your vision and how this can be brought to life, will benefit your business.
Your photography is an important aspect of your business
When we look at how potential customers of your business find information in today’s visual world, nearly everything points to the Internet and the digital space.
Your online presence is one of the first things that potential customers are going to see and your photography is forefront in that experience.
It’s imperative that you make a good first impression as you don’t often get second a second chance.
Businesses that casually use photography without thinking of the most important questions, are typically those who end up performing poorly or fail to meet the mark.
You have a story and a great message and it’s vital that you’re able to share this with your audience.
Better planning leads to better results which ultimately means that you’ll be able to convert more of your visitors into customers.
A clear brief helps you work effectively with your photographer
The brief is very much a collaboration between the photographer and the client.
As the client, it’s important that you’re able to share your ideas and articulate what you’d like effectively.
For the photographer, it’s important that they are able to listen and make suggestions that will benefit your business.
Together, this partnership can deliver fantastic results, but it requires a clear plan and a good understanding.
Taking the time to have a plan in place with an easy to understand project brief, helps everyone involved on the project to move together in the same direction.
A successful photography project is one that…
Is the result of an excellent partnership between you and your chosen photographer
Delivers a return on your investment
Creates engagement with your target audience
Brings value to your potential customers through sharing your message
Showcases your business and the value and quality that you provide through your products or services
Is delivered on time and on budget, by following a clearly defined project brief
Yes, I’d like to have effective photography!
As we highlighted above, the best photography projects work as a collaboration between you, the business owner, and your chosen photographer. The first step here is a clear and concise project brief.
A clear project brief is a plan that can be actioned by your chosen photographer. Not only does it map out the work that needs to be completed, but it allows for a list of deliverables to be created that will meet the requirements and needs of your business.
Having worked with many business owners like you over the years we’ve been in business, the one thing we’ve found that is a common struggle for many people is that they’re not able to create a project brief to a level that creates a good understanding for all involved.
We’ve designed a process that is easy for you to take part in. It all starts with a Discovery Meeting. This is a virtual meeting between you and our photographer.
The Discovery Meeting is designed to go through your plan and learn more about your photography requirements. We ask a lot of questions, which is important, because it helps us to understand you clearly and for us both to think about your target audience in more detail.
The most important question that you can ever ask yourself is “why”. It doesn’t sound like it right now, but in our Discovery Meeting you’ll hear it a lot, because it helps you to think deeply about your requirements and how they work for your target audience.
It’s good to remember that whilst photographs are created for your business, it’s actually more for your customers. If they don’t resonate with the images and your message, then you won’t generate sales.
At the end of our virtual meeting, we’ll take all of the notes we’ve made on the call with you and turn this into a complete project proposal, ready for you to hand over to your chosen photographer and get your project moving.
With a clear and concise brief, your chosen photographer will be able to easily prepare a plan for you that takes into account all of your requirements and the goals of your project.
In fact, we actually discount the Discovery Service fee from our project fee, when you choose to continue working with us.
A good project proposal will help you to bring the vision for your photography to life. It will also hold your photographer accountable to elements that have been agreed in the proposal.
Our Discovery Service is priced at £99. As mentioned above, this fee is deducted from the project fee that we create for you, when you choose to continue working with us.

After you’ve made your payment, you’ll receive an email that will provide all the instructions you need to schedule your Discovery Meeting with us and we can get started.

Discovery Meeting
We will have a virtual meeting with you to discuss your photography project. We’ll listen to your requirements and we’ll ask you questions to drill down into the specifics. This process helps all parties involved to gain full clarity in the scope of work required and it also gets you thinking in detail about your target audience and their needs.
Complete Project Proposal
After the Discovery Meeting, we’ll use the notes that we’ve created to put together a complete project proposal for your photography project. This is a document that will detail your requirements, goals and all accompanying data. You can use this as a brief to move forwards with the project with any design partner you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why do I need a Discovery Meeting?

Do I need to work with your company after?
No, you have no obligation to work with us after the Discovery Meeting. If you decide after using our Discovery Service that you would like to work with another photographer, that’s no problem. You can take the proposal that we create for you, and present this to any photographer.
