How we prepare a home for its photos
Light, order and a little restraint: what happens in the week before the camera arrives.
Photos are the first showing. They decide who books a visit, so we treat the shoot as carefully as an open house.
Edit, don’t empty
Rooms should feel lived in but calm. Clear surfaces, keep one or two beautiful things and let the architecture lead.
Chase the light
We plan the shoot around the sun: east rooms in the morning, the pool and terrace in late afternoon, and the front of the house when the facade is evenly lit.
