WHAT TO DO AT Declutter

In our own homes, we get used to bits of clutter building up over time. But all those

small items that we don’t notice will stand out in a photo.
THE HOME ? Make sure that homeowners keep the surfaces as clear as possible. Countertops,

coffee tables, desks, etc.

Walk Through the Home Before You Start

Shooting

Each home is different. Getting a feel for the space before picking up the camera

will give you an idea of how you want to shoot it.

You’ll start to mentally note the best angles and what small items may need to be

moved. This also gives you the opportunity to ask the homeowner to move items.

Lighting Conclusion

Turning lights on tends to make the space feel warmer and more welcoming instantly. But it

introduces varying light temperatures. And can create flooded windows( view blocking)
Leaving lights off gives you an even light temperature. But it also often gives off a cold feeling

in interior photos.
I take it one property at a time and decide based on what each home would look best with.

Whatever decision you make, be consistent throughout the entire home!
