Writing a standard operating procedure for photography

A photography standard operating procedure needs to describe the actual work. In the example used here, the team is carrying out the commercial photography commission and producing the approved image delivery pack. The document makes the intended outcome and the people responsible visible before the work moves to its next stage.

The workflow includes creative briefing, shoot preparation, image delivery. These steps create different information needs: the photographer needs enough detail to coordinate the work, while the producer needs a clear basis for review. The editable sections let you record those responsibilities without starting from an empty page.
