Get The Most From Your Commission.

A one-page brief template designed to help you think through the questions that shape a large-format nature photography project, before our first conversation.

A large, thick-trunked tree with smooth grey bark stands in a lush forest—a scene that highlights the challenges of woodland photography. Its broad branches rise above dense green foliage, while ferns in yellow and orange hues carpet the softly sunlit forest floor.

What The Template Covers.

The brief template walks through five areas: your space and contact details, the scale and location of the installation, any permissions or access considerations, the feeling you want to create and the guest experience you are designing for and your timeline including weather contingency.

It takes around five minutes to complete. The more honestly you fill it in, the more productive our first conversation will be.

Who Is It For?

This template is designed for anyone responsible for the interior environment of a hotel, lodge, spa, retreat or wellness space who is considering commissioning large-format nature photography. It works equally well for a single-space brief or a multi-site project.

If you would like to understand the broader process before downloading the brief, the feature wall art brochure covers the full commission workflow, case studies and the sectors I work with.
