How to brief a commercial photographer
Start with the audience, intended use, essential subjects, location, schedule and final formats. Add brand references and practical constraints, then let the photographer turn those facts into a realistic shot list and production plan.

Shortlist locations against the brief, then check ownership, permission, public access, parking, power, sound, changing space, weather alternatives and travel time. Treat drone work as a separate feasibility check rather than assuming every open landscape can be flown.

Useful answers.
Can you work with an agency or in-house team?
Yes. John works directly with clients and alongside agencies, producers and in-house marketing teams.
Where can the shoot happen?
At your workplace, venue, retail space or another agreed location. Portable lighting and a controlled production setup can be brought to the brief.
What should the brief include?
Start with audience, usage, locations, people or products involved, timing and the formats you need. John can then turn that into a practical plan.
