Project Scope
Describe locations, number of looks, deliverables, resolution requirements, and final file formats so the photographer and client agree on output and workflow expectations.
Using a consistent photoshoot application reduces misunderstandings, documents image rights, and clarifies payment and scheduling terms. It provides an auditable record that supports licensing decisions, tax reporting, and dispute resolution while making administrative handoffs simpler.
The completed application supports invoicing, licensing, tax documentation, and any required consent tracking after the shoot.
Describe locations, number of looks, deliverables, resolution requirements, and final file formats so the photographer and client agree on output and workflow expectations.
Record shoot date(s), call times, setup and wrap times, and contingency dates to coordinate logistics and vendor availability without ambiguity.
Specify fees, deposits, payment schedule, invoicing recipient, and accepted payment methods to reduce late-payment disputes and clarify financial responsibility.
Define license type, permitted media, territory, duration, exclusivity, and sublicensing rights so image usage is legally bounded and monetizable.
Collect model or guardian consent specifying permitted uses, attribution preferences, and any restrictions on likeness or sensitive contexts.
Note special access, COVID or medical precautions, insurance requirements, and location permits that affect shoot feasibility and liability.
