Start with what the customer will actually receive and what action they should take. Identify the product, service or bundle being promoted and the details that distinguish it. Keep unconfirmed prices, deadlines and availability out of the production brief until the business has approved them. The photograph should support an offer the team can explain clearly. This prevents a beautiful campaign image from implying a larger package or a different experience than the one being sold.
Decide what the primary image needs to show at a glance. A product campaign may need the item and its scale; a service campaign may need the experience or a finished result. Choose a setting that belongs to the brand rather than surrounding everything with generic sale props. Make the main image before exploring variations. A clear visual starting point gives the designer something useful to build around and helps the rest of the campaign feel connected.
List the planned destinations: website banner, email, feed post, Story or printed card. Ask for compositions that leave useful space for approved copy, along with versions where the subject fills the frame. Horizontal and vertical formats may need separate arrangements. Keep faces, products and essential details clear of the crop edges. Photographing these versions during the same setup gives the designer choices without depending on a severe crop that removes the information the image was meant to convey.
Check every object in the frame against the offer. If a gift box, accessory or extra service appears, decide whether it is included or simply part of the setting. When that distinction is unclear, simplify the photograph or plan clear accompanying copy. Capture an accurate product view alongside the more atmospheric version. This is a practical clarity check: someone seeing the campaign should be able to understand what is being offered without needing to guess which parts of the picture are for sale.
Identify who approves the offer, the photographs and the final graphics. Give the production team the actual launch date and ask what delivery schedule is available. Gather logos and approved wording before design begins, then review the final placements at their intended size. For a Fotos on the Geaux inquiry, share the offer, products or service involved, image uses and preferred shoot window. The result should be a production plan tied to your campaign, with availability and deliverables confirmed separately.
