Assignment Notes: Is The Building Ready?

A good starting point for discussion from the American Society of Media Photographers/Architecture Group.

This guide seems intimidating and will seem intimidating to some clients and/or property owners. I try to be judicious about prep taking the comfort level of the client/owner into account, while trying to get the job done. Not all building owners care about the photography because they are not involved with the product and view the photographic process as a nuisance. Additionally my standards for clean windows or a clean site are oftentimes far beyond the perception of building maintenance or the construction superintendent. So a preliminary visit and walk through with the appropriate contact is crucial.
