I've sat on the other side of the brief.

Operations, marketing, digital distribution. For twenty years I sat in the meetings where photography budgets were approved, and watched what happened on the booking channels after new images went live.

That knowledge decides what I shoot first, how the days on site are planned, and what each image is built to do once it leaves my hands.
