Photo Brief Template to Download – Rétines

Organizing a photo shoot with a professional photographer requires thorough preparation. To ensure a clear understanding of expectations, objectives, and constraints, it’s strongly recommended to create a structured, well-written brief ahead of the shoot.

To help you save time and streamline communication, we’ve created a ready-to-use photo brief template, inspired by industry best practices.

What’s included in the template?

This photo brief covers all the key information a photographer needs before starting a project:

• General project details: client contact info, dates, locations, etc.
• Shooting objectives: intended message, image usage, desired style.
• Subject description: people, products, events, expected atmosphere.
• Technical specifications: file formats, resolution, orientation, usage constraints.
• Logistics & planning: shoot duration, required equipment, site access.
• Expected deliverables: number of images, delivery deadlines, file transfer method.
• Budget & terms: photographer’s fees, payment conditions, additional expenses.
• Optional section: space for additional notes or key contacts.

This document helps structure the project, avoid oversights, and ensure smooth collaboration between client and photographer—whether it’s for a corporate report, team portraits, product shots, or a company event.
