The journal
Straight answers, written down.
What to wear, which session to book, how a company day runs, what agencies are really looking at. The questions people ask before a shoot, answered properly rather than in a sentence on a pricing page.
Written by the person who will be behind the camera. If something you need is missing, ask and it will probably end up here.
