ANATOLY IVANOV / METHODS / PHOTOGRAPHY PROCESS

My 27 years of experience in photography distill a process that achieves a win / win balance between the needs of clients, third parties and myself. Clients’ feedback, technological advances and my increasing knowledge constantly adapt and improve my photography process.

The following workflow diagrams visually schematize my assignment (newly created) and stock (preexisting) photography processes. (I go into greater depth about the differences between assignment and stock photography at the end of my photography services page).
