ASMP, AIA RELEASE BEST PRACTICES FOR COMMISSIONING ARCHITECTURAL
At the 2006 Convention of the American Institute of Architects
(AIA), opening today in Los Angeles, the American Society of
Media Photographers (ASMP) will distribute bound copies of
"Commissioning Architectural Photography," a compendium of Best
Practice documents that has been jointly published by AIA and
ASMP. The documents are part of the AIA Best Practice library,
which covers professional standards and advice across the whole
spectrum of architectural practice. The library's contents are
offered to AIA's 50,000 members, to contractors and allied
trades, and to the public.
"Commissioning Architectural Photography" is freely available on
the ASMP Web site at
http://www.asmp.org/pdfs/AIA_ASMP_BestPractices.pdf
Subjects include:
* Selecting a Professional Photographer
* Understanding the Estimate for a Photographic Assignment
* Controlling the cost of a Photography Assignment
* Preparing for Professional Photography: A Checklist
* Licensing Photographs for Publication
* Sharing the Photographic Assignment: A Case Study
Architectural photographer and former ASMP president Susan Carr
calls it, "An outstanding resource for architects and
photographers alike. We all win when we are working from the
same page...our new road map!" These documents are useful to all
photographers in their effort to help clients better understand
the process of working with an assignment photographer.
The Best Practice documents are another product of the continuing
collaboration between AIA and ASMP, which also includes a gallery
of photographs and the presentation of continuing education
mini-seminars at the current AIA National Convention in Los
Angeles, June 8 through 10. Full information on the AIA National
Convention is at www.aiaconvention.com
The individual Best Practice documents can be found on the AIA
Web site: (also available on the Publication's Page if links don't work. http://www.asmp.org/publications/asmp.php
