Before the photos
Open all the blinds in order to allow natural light in
Organise or put away objects/clothing that clutter the space
Remove any valuables you wouldn’t want to be photographed
Make your bed as if you were expecting a guest
Make sure the bathroom is tidy, the shower curtains are open and the toilet lid is closed
Taking the photos
Always work with natural light – sunlight makes everything look cozier
Convey the space – the best place to take photos is from the corners or from an angle that best can convey the space
Adjust your angles – Fill the photo with the room’s contents: if the objects are from floor to ceiling, try to shoot from chest height, but if the objects are lower, try to shoot from below the hip
All vertical lines should be vertical – remember to keep your camera steady, aligned with the verticals, like wall lines, table lines etc. (you can use photo grids to help you)
