Club Venue Photography: course from the air, clubhouse from the ground
Most club enquiries for venue photography come in at short notice; we hold Monday and Wednesday slots specifically for that. Clubs sell two things — the playing surface and the clubhouse — and the aerial hole-by-hole set is what separates a memorable club page from a generic one.
Brief
How the aerial pass fits around play.
full venue walkthrough across daylight, golden-hour and dusk windows. The aerial hole set is the part members and societies actually share.
Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Play cannot be interrupted, so aerial passes are worked between groups.
- •Course light is best at the start and end of the day, which limits the window.
- •Clubhouse function rooms are often booked, so interiors are slotted around events.
