Portrait & Headshot Photography for handover and snagging
Booking headshots for a handover snag record should feel simple: agree scope, agree date, receive files. Main contractors and clients need a completion-quality record at handover — the shoot documents finish, defects and outstanding items for the O&M pack.
Context
Handover snagging is an O&M discipline.
What that looks like on the ground: 5–10 retouched headshots per sitter, delivered in colour and B&W. The pack fits the O&M — organised by zone, not by convenience.
