Choosing the right one
Use the design brief or website brief to start a project, the photography booking and commission request to take enquiries, and the model release when you will use images of a person. Podcasters will use the guest application, and the newsletter sign-up helps you build a list with consent.
- Ask for reference images, which tell you more than adjectives
- Get image permissions in writing before you publish, and list the uses one by one
- Make the budget question optional if your clients rarely know what the work costs
Questions people ask
- Can clients upload images?
- Yes. The briefs, commission requests and applications accept PNG or JPEG images, which are stored encrypted.
- Does the newsletter form send emails?
- No. It collects sign-ups and consent. You send newsletters with the email tool of your choice.
