This page serves as a guide for proactively planning for photography for projects. This should help guide conversations during intake phase and schedule development to earmark the effort and spend related to photography up front, helping clients plan their budgets and helping Creative Services plan effectively for projects. Budget ranges and timing ranges are based on a sampling of representative projects. Timing ranges represent time needed from evaluating existing imagery and planning shot list photography to execution and all photography involvement completed.<\/p>\n

These large-scale projects may also require coordination with vendors such as hair & makeup, stagers, studio rentals, etc.<\/p>\n Examples include:<\/p>\n Photography type:<\/strong> Research\/archive\/scanning <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This page serves as a guide for proactively planning for photography for projects.
