Leah is a new interior designer as of 2023 and really wanted to hit the ground running. She wanted brand photos to use as marketing materials and to update her new website! It was a joy bringing her vision to life, and I cannot wait to see all that is in store for Leah! If you are looking for an interior designer brand photoshoot that showcases all the beautiful things you can document, this is it. Cheers to Leah and her new business!
Interior designer brand photoshoots are important because they not only uplevel your brand, but help create a cohesive brand the ideal clients will instantly fall in love with. Interior designers are selling something that is heavily focused on visuals, so it’s important that the brand nails that aspect too!
Planning Your Session
When planning an interior designer brand photoshoot, it’s important to get a variety of looks! But, how do you do that?! You can use different scenes within the space and switch up the wardrobe. You can even change facial expressions to show more than just a smile! Folding a blanket or working on the computer are fun and easy movements that you can do, too! Looking at swatches or drawing plans can create a visually appealing story!
Don’t forget that you want the space to match your ideal client’s look! For Leah, this bright, beautiful rented home worked beautifully. You want to use a home with beautiful light and ample sections for different scenes. As a San Francisco brand photographer, I look for certain things. You’ll want lots of light, different rooms to shoot in with clean, minimal distractions. Don’t forget to look for colors that work well with the brand, and a beautiful kitchen!
Location Matters
And, guess what?! The location does not have to be a home or space the interior designer designed! The purpose of an interior designer brand photo shoot is to show off their personality and brand, not their work! To show off their work, an interior design photoshoot would be perfect!
Interior Designers Brand Photoshoot Shot List
Here is a quick shot list to help you as you plan your next interior designer brand photoshoot:
– Overhead working with plans (*Pro Tip: cover up the project name or create a fake name on the plan ahead of time for the confidentiality of your design clients)
– A few lifestyle headshots with variations of expressions
– Different lifestyle pose ideas (leaning in the doorway, sitting on the countertop, leaning on the couch, sitting on the floor by the couch and coffee table)
– Working with samples
– On the computer pulled back and close up
– Arranging furniture of stuff on a bookshelf
** For all of these, make sure that the background is not cluttered
