YOUR HIRING GUIDE
Start with the right details.
A useful brief helps both sides understand the work before making a commitment.
Write your brief- 01
Build a clear run sheet
Share the date, location area, event size, timing and the result you need. Separate planning, setup, live support and follow-up tasks.
- 02
Review relevant examples
For photography, compare work in a similar setting and lighting. For event support, discuss the helper’s responsibilities and how they handle changing plans.
- 03
Agree delivery and contingencies
Set arrival times, contacts, equipment, deliverables and deadlines. For images, clarify editing, usage permissions and the selection process.

Before you begin.
Still working out the details? Start with a clear brief and ask the helper about the parts that matter to you.
What should a photography brief include?
List the occasion, timings, important people or moments, intended image use, delivery format and deadline. Agree any must-have shots without assuming every moment can be guaranteed.
Are edited photos included?
Ask how many images, what level of editing and which file formats are included. Agree the delivery date and any extra requests separately.
Can I hire practical support without photography?
Yes. Define the role clearly: setup, guest support, coordination or other tasks. Identify one person who can make decisions on the day.
How should I plan for changes?
Share a run sheet, key contacts and an agreed process for timing or scope changes. Discuss a contingency plan for weather or access issues where relevant.
YOUR NEXT STEP
A little help. A lot more possible.
Find the skills for your project or share what you do best.
Another way to work together: exchange time.
Agree an hour of your own skills for an hour of theirs. Explore direct time exchange. Local work, especially childcare, still needs the right safeguards. Read the checks and safer-hiring guide.
