The instruction-pitch Property Photography brief
Every instruction pitch enquiry for property gets the same first reply: a short list of questions that saves the client time. Estate agents pitching a vendor for an instruction want visuals that put them ahead of the other two agents through the door — the shoot is scoped for the pitch, not the launch.
Context
Instruction pitches are decisive briefs.
In practice, that means 20–35 retouched stills, floorplan-aware composition, same-week turnaround. Three strong frames beat a full pack — the pitch is a short, decisive read.
