Have you ever thought about taking your own photos for your interior design projects rather than investing in getting professional photos done? Many people do! But here’s some insight from a Houston interior photographer on why investing in professional photos is 10X better than doing it yourself!
When people search for interior designers whether that’s to transform a single room in your home or design your entire house, they look at every inch of the home because…it’s all in the details! Low-quality photos, bad lighting and the wrong setting will give potential buyers and clients a lousy impression and unpleasant feelings.
When you have low-quality photos people tend to scroll right past your work and look for an interior designer that has high-quality photos that give them an exciting feeling and vision of how their home may look when investing in them. A phone camera will not achieve the same results that a professional camera will. There will be uneven details in brightness as well as shadows hiding details you want to portray in your photos.
Not only that, but remember a professional interior photographer knows how to portray a property and all of its details including the small decor on shelving or the art pieces you chose to brighten up a room. Photographers will photograph certain details to guide the viewer’s eyes to these certain points around the home, always accentuating your interior design project and its best features through color, contrasts, and angles. Plus interior spaces can tell stories as well as express different feelings and emotions as long as you do it correctly! You capture a moment in time while sparking emotion, sharing a message, and expressing a mood, giving your audience and potential clients insight into what it would look like working with you and how you can transform their home.
Professional interior photographs help your potential clients envision working with you and allow them to trust you and your work. You want them to have faith in your visual side of things as well as connect with them, and the best way to do this is by investing in interior photography.
Picture this, a potential client approaches you asking to see your work but all you have is low quality, bad lighting, phone footage, it’s very possible that you won’t secure that deal. But imagine showing a potential client a portfolio full of high-quality, well-lit interior design photos, photos that get them excited and in awe of how beautiful your work is… there is a high chance you’re securing the deal without any second thought!
Investing in your business is something that will always help you grow and reach your goals, it may be scary but it is 100% worth it! To run a successful business you need to make smart investments that will deliver results and interior photography will do just that!
