AI Notes for Photographers
How to Summarize Client Concept Discussions
Photographers often engage in client concept discussions to understand their vision and expectations. Keeping detailed notes is crucial in ensuring that the creative ideas discussed are accurately captured and implemented. Structured meeting notes help photographers align their work with client desires and avoid misunderstandings or overlooked details. Additionally, these records can be revisited during the creative process to ensure consistency and quality in delivery.
But what should you include in your meeting notes? We have compiled a list of key points to include in your meeting notes.
