For interior designers, a successful photoshoot can make or break your portfolio. Capturing the perfect lighting and angles is essential in conveying the beauty and elegance of your designs.
So, what do you need to do before an interior photoshoot to ensure success? Let’s take a look at 10 key steps that will help you achieve the perfect photos.
1. Clean up the location before the interior photoshoot
For a professional, picture-perfect look to your home – make sure it is shining! A photograph can easily highlight any dirt or disarray on the floor so take time to wipe down surfaces right before shooting. If bathrooms are included to interior photoshoot, ensure those extra neat. To give true reflection of the intended style and atmosphere, be sure to arrange towels and floor mats in perfect accord with your design aesthetic.
2. Make everything look organised
Before any interior photoshoot, make sure the location is clean and organized so that it looks neat in the pictures. This includes dusting shelves, vacuuming carpets, tidying up furniture, and removing any clutter from the area. Unnecessary elements like papers, remotes or pens should always remain out of view; strive for simplicity and only add props which will complement the photograph.
3. Shiny windows
For stunning images, sparkling windows are essential! Dust and grime will affect the light entering a room or create distracting glare when photographing near windows. So make sure they’re polished to perfection for perfect picture results.
4. Natural light
Capturing stunning interior photographs requires careful consideration of the time and light direction. To get those perfect shots, early morning is often your best bet. Natural light is ideal for most pictures, so if possible open up all of your curtains or shades during the shoot to let in as much natural light as possible.
5. Think About Color Schemes for the interior photoshoot
When selecting furniture pieces and decorative items for an interior photoshoot think about color schemes and how they can enhance or detract from certain areas of a room depending on their placement within it. A great color scheme can really bring life into any space!
6. Consider adding fresh fruits
Fruit can be used effectively as props to create a vibrant yet natural atmosphere for an interior photoshoot. These fragrant elements bring life and energy into the images, ensuring beautiful results every time.
7. Use fresh flower props
With the addition of fresh flowers, any interior can be transformed into a vibrant and stylish scene. Consider staging bouquets on coffee or dinner tables for an eye-catching display to enhance interior photographs and add warmth to any space!
8. Add texture with pillows and blankets
Adding a beautiful blanket or some eye-catching pillows will bring your interior photoshoot to life! Bright colors with an authentic, lived-in look can truly transform the atmosphere. These little touches will ensure that you get top quality shots and provide just the right amount of vibrancy for your brief theme.
9. Beautiful shelves
Give your shelves a stylish boost by arranging beautiful books, accessories, and flowers in various levels for visual interest. Keep interior photographs featuring people or characters with recognizable branding out of sight – this will give your décor a timelessly elegant look when photographed.
