Creative Production Clarifiers
- Separate capture day effort from post-production phases such as culling, color grading, and final retouching.
- Use licensing language that specifies territory, term, medium, and exclusivity assumptions.
- Document deliverable counts by gallery size, hero selects, and exported format profile.
- Distinguish lab fulfillment costs from artistic services when prints or albums are included.
- Capture rush-edit surcharges and turnaround commitments when campaign deadlines are compressed.
- Reference model-release or property-release constraints that affect commercial usage rights.
