A Photograph

Yes, even something as simple as a photograph can be divided into the three production stages. Even if photographers are not conscious of it, they’re performing the stages of production with their own photos.

First, photographers complete the preproduction stage by thinking about what they’re going to shoot and where. During production, they must go to the location, pose the subject, and finally take the photo. Then, even using a smart phone, they can do some postproduction work such as adding an aging effect to the photo, or increasing its contrast, or maybe even changing it to black and white.
