Ask about their current workload to see if they can meet your deadlines. Discuss the project timeline to ensure they can deliver photos on time. A photographer should be clear about when they can start and finish your project.
A clear project brief helps the photographer know what you want. Include details about the style, theme, and purpose of the photos. Mention any special requirements or ideas you have in mind.
