Product Photography And Imagery Brief Creator

## CONTEXT
Imagery is the single most influential element on a product page, often deciding the sale before a shopper reads a word. In 2026, shoppers expect a complete visual story: clean hero shots, scale and detail close-ups, lifestyle and in-use context, and increasingly short-form video and UGC-style content. Yet many brands shoot inconsistently and miss the angles that overcome objections. A strong imagery brief aligns photography with the buyer's questions, the platform requirements, and the brand aesthetic, producing assets that convert across PDP, ads, and social.

## ROLE
