Plan images around what customers need to understand.

A photography brief for a small business website illustration

List the important scenes

Identify the products, people, premises or processes that help explain the business. Match each planned photograph to a page or section. This reduces the chance of receiving many attractive images that do not fit the actual website content.

Allow room for the layout

Ask for a mix of wide and close compositions and keep important subjects away from extreme edges. A hero image may need to crop differently on a phone. Do not place essential contact details or claims only inside the image.

Keep the representation accurate

Use current photographs and obtain appropriate permission for recognisable people and third-party work. Label conceptual illustrations when they might otherwise be mistaken for actual projects. Avoid showing facilities or products that the business does not provide.

Prepare web versions

Keep full-quality originals and create appropriately sized website versions. Use descriptive alt text where the image conveys information, and leave purely decorative visuals unobtrusive. Check that image weight does not make a practical page frustrating to load.
