Venue Photography as a pre-refurb record

The pre-refurb record is the subject; the venue photography is the treatment; nothing else on set matters. Landlords, contractors and heritage owners need a dated visual record before works start — the shoot is scoped for evidence, not marketing.

Context

A pre-refurb record is a coverage discipline.

What that looks like on the ground: interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. Consistency and coverage outrank composition — the pack is evidence first.

Captured

What comes back
