Start with the buyer question
A lender does not need a beautiful gallery. They need timestamped visual proof tied to visible progress. Your system should answer what changed, where it changed, when it was documented, and whether the photos are easy to find later.
Map repeatable angles
Pick exterior, interior, aerial, and milestone views that can be repeated each month. Same-angle progress photos make the record easier to compare and harder to argue with.
Organize by draw cycle
Folders should follow date, area, and scope. If a draw package is questioned, the PM should find the right proof without searching through a phone roll.
Use a closeout mindset
The photos you capture for payment today may become warranty, dispute, and closeout records later. Build the archive like the project will need it two years from now.
