One of the highlights in my career as a professional interiors photographer is to share my experience and expertise in our industry so that we can all be more successful when it comes to professional photo shoots. My approach to photographing interiors the last 16 years comes from my background of shooting for commercial advertising, catalogs, editorial and coffee table book projects. The photoshoot process can be a bit intimidating and confusing to any newcomer, so I have decided to help ease the pain a bit with some insight into making it more fun and fruitful for everyone involved. Some of the most asked questions I get from new designers tend to all fall into these topics:
Why you should always professionally shoot your projects.
The different types of photographers and who is right for you.
Why scouting is important.
The benefits of using a stylist.
Art directing your projects
What is photo usage.
How to get published.
Over the past year or so I have been speaking at markets, small industry events, panels, and even a couple of industry podcasts. My presentation on “Getting the most out of Your Photography Budget” turned into an accredited presentation and keeps evolving. My guest designer speaker at Highpoint Market was Grant Gibson and at the Dallas Design Market was Denise McGaha. Both contributed their experiences as a well seasoned designer with many shoots and being published multiple times. In the near future I hope to have a stylist, art director and more designers to collaborate with on the presentation to help educating designers across the globe on how they can get the most out of their photography budget.
Please reach out to the studio with any specific questions about any photoshoot related topic, we would love to help spread the most helpful information to anyone who needs it!
