To ensure a successful photoshoot, it's great to get familiar with the location prior. Even if I can't make it there in person, having pictures and videos of the area plus an established shoot list are key!

Collaboration is key when it comes to photography, and I believe inviting an interior designer along for the photoshoot can make all the difference. Having as much detail about a property allows me to capture its essence in each image - plus you'll get the opportunity preview every setup and still do small changes before taking the picture.

When it comes to taking interior photos, cloudy days may often provide the best lighting with a softer and more even light, compared to sunny days. On sunny days, it is also possible to take beautiful interior photographs. Numerous factors, such as the size of the windows, the orientation of the windows, and the timing of the photoshoot, all contribute to the success of the shot.

Shotlist - Before beginning your project, spend some time crafting a shot-list to ensure you highlight all the key features. This will give focus and structure to your work so that nothing important is missed!

Free of clutter - To achieve a truly stunning interior photo, make sure your space is free of clutter! Remove any unnecessary items in the room. It will save me time and with neatness comes added elegance.

Staging - Stage your interior for the photoshoot with delicate bouquets, vibrant fruit displays or using pillows – for example. These extras will add a sense of liveliness to the atmosphere while creating captivating visual interest.

Lights off - To create an engaging and captivating environment, designers often opt for lights to be off when shooting a photograph. This way the image can highlight any flattering elements in the space such as natural lighting from windows or colored shades that capture moods of serenity or vibrancy. If the contrast is too big - multiple images with different light settings can be used for blending together the perfect photo.

Rain or shine, don't worry! Interior shoots will go on regardless of the weather as clouds help to create some stunning indoor shots. If outdoor shoots were planned also - no worries: just let me know and let’s reschedule the photoshoots. In case of rescheduling happens 24 hours before the scheduled photoshoot – an extra 50 euros excluding VAT will be charged.

Natural light is my go-to source of illumination when it comes to capturing interiors, but if the difference between shadows and highlights is too intense even then, I opt for bracketing.

I use a wireless tethering system that connects my camera directly to an iPad, so no matter where we are in the room, I'm able to immediately adjust furniture and accessories live on screen. This method allows us both to see details up close; it's always valuable when getting just-right shots every time!
