Machine Shop Photography Shot List & Planning Kit
Plan photographs that answer buyer questions and arrive ready for your website. This free kit helps a machine shop connect each proposed image to a page, identify the necessary approvals and organize usable delivery files.
It is designed for owners, marketers and website editors coordinating with a photographer and the people responsible for shop access, customer relationships and technical accuracy. You can use it for a focused update to existing pages or as part of a larger website project.

No signup is required. The ZIP contains a self-contained HTML worksheet and instructions. Extract the files, open the HTML in a current browser and complete the fields locally. The worksheet does not upload images or submit your entries to KriXis.
Save before closing: entries are not automatically retained after closing. Use Print / Save to PDF to keep a completed copy. Keep sensitive records in your approved systems and use internal references or non-confidential summaries here.
What is included
- Page and buyer-question map: identify the information each image should help explain.
- Six shot records: record subject, destination, composition, exclusions, review owner and delivery needs.
- Approval log: capture the source or rights reference, permitted uses, publication decision and change triggers.
- Delivery plan: organize selected masters, web versions, crops, filenames, alt text and captions.
- Release and maintenance checklist: record observed live-page checks and who will update the asset when circumstances change.
The kit helps create a brief your team can discuss before capture. It does not establish publication permission, certify a shop's practices or replace the photographer's agreed scope. Have the appropriate owners review the actual subjects, uses and conditions.
Use it in a focused planning session
Start with your highest-priority pages. Record the buyer question each page must answer and decide whether a photograph can help. Choose essential subjects before adding optional variations, and identify the person who can review each proposed frame.
Next, note exclusions and permissions. Think about the background as well as the main subject: labels, screens, documents and reflections may need attention. Keep private records out of the worksheet; reference the approved internal decision instead.
Finally, agree the deliverables. Identify the wide, square or portrait uses that matter to your website and ask for useful crop options. Record the selected versions, descriptive text and review owner so the handoff does not depend on finding an old email.
Connect the kit to the website
Read the machine shop website photography guide for practical explanations of shot planning, approval, crops, alt text and publication. Use the capability-page guide to connect the images to the information buyers need about your services.
Want help reviewing the plan?
Use the photography content review inquiry to discuss public page URLs, image gaps and the planned handoff. A short non-confidential brief is enough to begin. Scope, access, deliverables, timing and any fees should be agreed before further work starts.
