Is It Out of Scope? — Web development
Is expanding photography beyond the shot list out of scope for a web development project?
Yes. Shooting photography isn't a development task at all, regardless of how many additional shots are requested.
This occasionally reaches the dev side of a project when placeholder images are still in the build and the client asks whoever's building the pages to "just get more photos."
Is it out of scope?
Yes. Photography is a shoot-and-produce discipline entirely separate from implementation — development doesn't cover it at any quantity.

Example contract wording
Example contract wording (illustrative, not legal advice)
New photography isn't something the development scope covers — that's a shoot, separate from building the pages. I can flag it to whoever handled the original shot list.
How MarginFlow flags it
MarginFlow flags photography requests outside_scope on development contracts, since shoot production sits outside every deliverable category a dev SOW covers.
