Corporate photography
Who signs off on the selects. Whether security has your name. Where the images will run, and who must not be in them. StudioCue's corporate brief gets those answers in writing weeks ahead, and the job doesn't read ready until it has them.
Not a wedding questionnaire with the word changed. It asks for the company, the billing contact, who meets you on the day and — the one that matters — who signs off on the final selection.
Website, social, print, press or internal — chosen by the client, with the shots that matter most and any brand references, so the brief you shoot from is the one they agreed to.
The client confirms everyone has agreed to be photographed, says how many people you'll be shooting, and lists anyone who must not appear, so you know before you set up.
A corporate job has its own workflow: contract signed, brief complete, contacts confirmed, run of show approved, crew accepted, locations confirmed. Until those are done, it doesn't read ready — however close the date is.
The package and price the client accepted are written once and kept. Change the package later and existing jobs keep what they signed for; invoices bill that, not today's list price.
Offer the job down your ranked list until someone accepts, then share the run of show. Each person confirms they've read the version they'll shoot from, and a change asks them again.
