Plain view. The same page with the design removed, so you
can read it or select the whole thing and paste it somewhere. Every
photograph keeps a line under it saying what is in it. Use the gate shift,

You found Navigator. This is my site the way it would have
looked in 1996: same pages, same words, same photographs. But just in the
way I remember being introduced to the internet. Memories! Shift into any
gear, top right, to come back to present.
Pick where the photos will run. Get the shapes to plan for, the room to leave for words, and a short spec to hand your photographer.
Where they'll run
The details
Will words or a logo go on top?
A headline, a button, a logo.
What you call it internally.
Who's laying it out, a size you already have, a deadline.
Your crop plan
Built from what you picked. Sizes and platform rules change, so check the current spec before the day.
For commercial work I shoot the Hasselblad a little wide in the frame. It gives extra for the teams to work with in post.
What's copy space?
The quiet part of a photo where a headline or a logo can go: a wall, sky, a soft background. If nobody plans for it, the words end up on someone's face.
Why shoot both horizontal and vertical?
Cropping a vertical out of a horizontal throws most of the frame away. A 9:16 cut from a 3:2 horizontal keeps a bit over a third of the width. Turning the camera takes a second on the day.
Why doesn't it list pixel sizes?
They change, and they're different on every platform and publication. Check the current spec on the platform's own page, or ask the publication or vendor for the size before the day.
Can my team crop the photos?
Yes. When you book me, the photos are yours, and your team or agency can crop and retouch them. For commercial work I shoot a little wide so there's room to do it.
Does it save what I type?
No. Nothing is sent until you press Send to Stan, and closing the page clears it.
