Corporate Event Photography evidence for planning use
A planning application that photographs well for corporate events usually has one obvious hero and three quieter supporting shots. Planning consultants and architects need existing-conditions imagery that stands up in an application — the shoot is scoped to LPA expectations, not to marketing.
Proof
Where this has worked
Application imagery has supported successful submissions to Liverpool, Wirral, Cheshire West and Sefton councils.
