I Help Business Professionals Create The "Perfect" First Impression With Beautiful Headshots & Business Branding Photography. #CreativeViewHeadshotPhotography

Top Tips For Interior Photography.   As a specialist Headshot & Personal Branding Photographer I have been asked if I do interior marketing photography...the answer was yes of course.   Here are a few tips that I’ve learnt over the years.   1: Consult with your client whenever possible. Sometimes, you walk in and you know right away, you just feel it...this is the perfect picture, but sometimes you may need to investigate a little bit more.   2: Avoid using wide-angle lenses. Wide angle lenses can cause distortions, which can disrupt the harmony of the image and give a false sense of the space being photographed. In architecture, lines must be straight.   3: Natural light is king. Even when you do add artificial lights, you still want to pay attention to how natural light works in the space, so that the light you’re adding makes sense. For instance, you never want to have light coming from multiple directions and casting double shadows.   4: Keep lights to a minimum unless there’s a reason for them to be on. You don’t need to turn on a lamp if sunlight is streaming in through the window already.   5: Don’t feel like you need to keep everything in focus all the time. Blurring elements of the photo can add dimension, change the mood, or focus the viewer’s attention somewhere specific.   6: A good prop could makes a difference. Every space is different, but even in spaces that lend themselves to minimalism, propping can help tell the story, even if it’s just a few touches.   7: Don’t wait to do in post production what you can do in the room. Retouching costs money and often takes much longer than just addressing the issue head-on before you start shooting.   8: Don’t always let things get too perfect. Rooms are meant to be lived in, so try not to get too precious about your set-up.   9: Never stop learning. Remember that photography is a lifelong journey, you’re not just going to pick up a camera and be the next big thing right away. You must have a passion for it.   If you would like any advice on interior photography, feel free to drop me a message.     📞 07775 647 476     #BerkshirePhotographer #CreativeViewHeadshotPhotography #BrandingPhotographer #PersonalBrandPhotographer #interiorphotograhy #interiorphotographer
