Inspired from my years working as an architectural photographer, here are the headline items. Check out the full article using the link above.

  • Decide how many images you want
  • Agree which specific rooms/ views are/ are not to be captured
  • Plan the best time of day for the shoot
  • Make sure all the lights are working
  • Remove anything you don’t want in a shot
  • Move stuff away from doors
  • Open all the curtains fully
  • Fresh bedding and towels
  • Remove unwanted clutter from bathrooms and kitchens
  • Light the fire
  • Fresh flowers are great
  • Move the remotes and cables
  • Clear table tops and shelves
  • Hide the cars
  • Cut the grass
  • Get rid of the weeds and leaves
  • Hide the bins
  • Get rid of the hosepipe and garden tools
  • Relax – you are in good hands with me. I have done this before!
