BRIEFS

1. Specify angles for every image or scene in the video
2. Specify lighting requirements (inc. shadows, highlights, and type of lighting preferred)
3. 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)
4. Sample shots must be included in the brief to explain the assignment
5. 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.
