Architectural Photography:"It's an art form but it's also a business"
August 19, 2010
The business of Architectural Photography is another aspect that constantly requires attention. From estimating, licensing issues, scouting assignments, creating that shoot list, all are important factors. Once the client signs that contract and pays the 50% retainer, project coordination comes into play. That includes security clearances, site preparation, transportation arrangements, permits, releases and authorization. All of these areas need to be conveyed to the client. This event covers all of that and more.
