Self-guided learning path

Plan coverage around people and light

Protect the photographs by making the practical constraints visible.

Lesson 1
Choose photography coverage by moments, not a round number
Six, eight or ten hours is a span of time, not a list of photographs.
Lesson 2
Decide on a first look from the day you want to have
A first look changes where portrait time sits in the day.
Lesson 3
Give family photographs a gatherer and a finish line
A shot list cannot find a missing relative.
Lesson 4
Brief a second photographer with responsibility and boundaries
A second photographer needs more than the wedding address.
Lesson 5
Make the photo delivery promise specific enough to keep
Delivery is easier to manage when the promise defines what arrives, when, and what the client can do with it.
Lesson 6
Price photography from the complete delivery workload
Coverage hours are only one part of a photography booking.
