8 pages with real content in place. Rewrite them, reorder them, or add your own.

- 2Page 2Summary and the shot list at a glance: why the launch needs one matched shoot, the investment, dates and licence, the next step, and a contact sheet of 111 images in three strips (packshots, on-model, lifestyle) with counts, set-ups and lenses
- 3Page 3Your brief and the look: the launch, where the images will live, a mood board of light and surfaces, the three glazes and how each will be colour-matched

When to use it.
Product Photography Proposal is an 8-page proposal for commercial photographers quoting an e-commerce shoot, shown here for a ceramics brand launching a 24-piece collection. It opens with the answer and the shot list drawn as a contact sheet, then covers the brief and mood board with glaze colour targets, every packshot, on-model and lifestyle shot, styling, casting, a lighting plan and call sheets, and deliverables by size, file name and proofing date. It closes with a usage licence by media, term and territory, an estimate priced the way photographers price, and terms with a deposit to hold the dates.
