Abstract
Little has been written about teamwork within design organizations. This
chapter contributes to knowledge by examining and evaluating the role of
teamwork within professional photography studios. Several photography
studios were contacted electronically and asked to take part in the research.
A questionnaire survey was used to collect the data and answer each
research question. The author used both qualitative and quantitative
analysis methodologies to interpret the gathered data. The main research
findings suggested that in some cases, no clearly defined teamwork model
has been adopted. However, the attitudes and opinions of the designers
(i.e., photographers, art directors, and stylists) are very promising for
improving such a model. It was also clear that designers within professional
photography studios may face the same issues of teamwork as within any
other business organization, i.e., differences in working practices are evident
and contribute to some degree to the performance of each studio.
