The Brand Shot is the way we prepare for shoots with Monarhk clients, written so you can do it yourself. Ten steps across four movements, moving from why you're shooting, to how it should look, to the practical plan, to the day itself and what happens after.
Do the thinking first and the day becomes the easy part. You get to relax, be yourself, and trust that everything you need is already on the list.

The purpose. What the images are for, and what they must say about you before anyone reads a word.
The look. Your look and feel, your shot list, and who appears in frame. With a moodboard page to work on.
The plan. Your space, your photographer, and the paperwork. Closing in a two page brand shoot brief to hand over, and a countdown checklist running from six weeks out to the week after.
The shoot. The day itself, and what to do with the images once you have them.
Every step opens with the thinking, then what's worth knowing, the traps worth avoiding, and a worksheet to fill in.
Three bonus resources
Three editable templates you'll use for every shoot from here: a call sheet, a media and model release, and a location release. Each with its own guidance on when and how to use it.
The details
56 pages plus three bonus documents. Printable A4 PDF, designed to be filled in by hand or on screen. Instant download. Yours to reuse for every shoot you run.
