The photography brief

Every picture on your home page today is stock. Every picture on your new website is yours. This is how to take them without a photographer.

What you already have

Four photographs, uploaded to your blog. Good work, phone pictures. They carry the case study until there are better ones.

  • Two tall CNC jaali partitions in dark frames, lit from behind so the circles glow amber, in a new flat with a marble floor.
    The jaali partitions, lit.
  • A U-shaped kitchen in grey and white high gloss with a black granite top, seen through a teak arch hung with a marigold garland.
    A kitchen on handover day.
  • A study wall in cream laminate: a long desk with drawers, floating shelves, tall cabinets and diagonal criss-cross shelving.
    A study wall, with the diagonal shelving.
  • A compact study desk with a curved top, a sage-green drawer unit, an open shelf and two cabinets with oval fluted-glass shutters.

At every handover, before the garland comes down

  • Clean the site. Take away the boxes, the tools and the cut pieces on the floor.
  • Every light on, cove lights and cabinet lights included.
  • Phone held level, at chest height, straight at the work.
  • One wide picture of the room, one straight on, two close-ups: a hinge, an edge, a handle.
  • One with the shutters open, so the inside shows.
  • The garland picture, every time. It is yours, and nobody else has it.

Named, so it can be found

  • Room, area, month: kitchen-indiranagar-2026-10.jpg.
  • Sent to us on WhatsApp the same day, with one line on what it is.
  • With the customer’s permission to show it. Never their face, never their address.

Never again

  • Stock photographs of rooms you did not make.
  • Renders passed off as finished work.
  • Pictures with workers, tools or wrapping still in them.
