Start with what the images must do: audience, subjects, locations, channels, aspect ratios, deadline, accessibility, approval process and expected shelf life. A strong food photographer may be the wrong choice for an executive rollout, and a brilliant portrait specialist may not be equipped for products or an active industrial site. Ask who actually shoots, how the brief becomes a shot list, what happens if the lead or weather fails, what retouching and AI use are allowed, exactly what files arrive, and where, how long and by whom the images may be used.
