Photographers are booked for the purpose of recording key events attended by Ministers, such as the launch of schemes and programmes, new initiatives and visits by inward delegations. Where possible, the Press Office uses in-house photography. The policy for booking a photographer for official purposes is that my Department's Press Office seeks 3 quotes in advance of each photo-shoot to keep costs to a minimum.
