Venue Photography for matchday weekends
For venue photography at a matchday weekend we plan around three things: opening hours, sight lines and weather windows. Anfield, Goodison and the wider Liverpool matchday economy sit on top of hospitality and hotel demand — the shoot is planned around fixtures, not against them.
Context
Matchday is a fixture-first window.
What that looks like on the ground: interior + exterior + aerial pack for marketing site and brochure. Fixture-first scheduling; the aerial envelope respects the airspace around the ground.
