Product photography coordination in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to product photography coordination.
This is a planning reference for product photography coordination. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional photo coordination PHC-29 organises a photographer's shoot of ten handmade soap products, with three required angles per product: front label, rear label and unwrapped texture where the maker permits opening. The coordinator delivers a thirty-image shot matrix, supplier brief, sample approval and delivery reconciliation. Photography and retouching are contracted to the photographer; medical/product efficacy claims, label compliance and studio safety certification are excluded. Sample filename S04_front_v1.jpg must correspond to soap SKU S04, not a visually similar scent.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0529: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 7,500.00 each. Buyer group: Retailers needing consistent catalogue images. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 7,500.00 = KSh 7,500.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 6,450.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,050.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,250.00. The invoice balance is KSh 5,250.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 4,200.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
