A practical guide to what to photograph, when to photograph it, and how to keep the evidence useful months later.
Photographs are the most efficient form of operational proof in restoration and item-processing workflows. They confirm condition, document process, and protect the operation against disputes — but only when each photo is tied to a specific item, stage, and time.
| Stage | What to capture |
|---|---|
| Intake | Overall condition, serial/model tag, pre-existing damage, packaging |
| Process / cleaning | Before/after of key surfaces, repair points, treatment applied |
| Inspection | Pass/fail evidence, residual damage, test results |
| Disposition | Final condition, packaging, labeling, location |
In Itemeer, photos are captured inside the workflow — not in a camera roll. Each photo binds to the item, the stage, the team member, and the timestamp. The audit-ready export bundles every photo with the full chain-of-custody record, so claim and audit packages assemble themselves as the team works.
