📷 Project Photos Guide
Great photos make your projects shine online. Here's a simple guide for taking photos with your phone that we can use on your website, blog, and social posts.
Before Photos
- Take at least 2–3 photos before you start work. This gives us options and helps show change.
- Stand back so the whole area is in the frame. A wide view tells the full story.
- Show the problem clearly (damp patch, old fittings, damage). Highlight what was wrong before you fixed it.
- Use natural light if possible — open curtains or doors. Light makes photos sharper and clearer.
During Photos
- Capture one or two photos while work is in progress. This shows your process and professionalism.
- Show tools, materials, or team members at work. Clients like to see how things are done.
- Keep the camera steady and avoid clutter in the background. Focus on the job, not distractions.
After Photos
- Take 3–4 photos after work is finished. The 'after' is the proof of your work.
- Match the same angle as your 'before' photos. This makes a perfect side-by-side comparison.
- Add close-up shots of details or finishes. Show off your craftsmanship.
- Take one wide photo to show the whole space or project. Give viewers the 'wow' moment.
General Tips
- Hold your phone sideways (landscape) for most shots. Landscape is better for websites and blogs.
- Wipe your camera lens before taking photos. A clean lens means sharper images.
- Keep the photo bright — avoid shooting into direct sunlight. Good lighting shows the details clearly.
- Step back and make sure the full job is in the photo. Better to crop later than miss something important.
- Save your best 5–10 photos for us. Quality is more useful than quantity.
