Start with the site manager, not the marketing team
The people who decide whether your shoot happens are on the ground. Building a relationship with the site manager weeks before the shoot is the single biggest factor in getting good content.
Plan around the work, not against it
The best shots happen when the site is doing what it does anyway. We build shot lists around the day's schedule, not the other way round.
Kit that works on site
- Compact cameras with internal ND
- Wireless audio that survives PPE
- One operator, not a crew of six
