Shooting the bossI had a job the other day to photograph team pictures and products for a young tech company called "qiio" that produces micro chips. It is straight forward work that produces pictures of a subject that can be used to give the company website a professional look.
As a rule I ask the client that while they have a professional photographer present can they imagine using pictures for any other context? For example to illustrate an article or press release with the CEO answering questions explaining his strategy for the company.
My contact at "qiio" then said they may need pictures to illustrate a magazine article. That is more unusual as the magazines usually provide their own photographer.
