  • Switch all lights on
  • Turn television screens off, or pause screens on a good image (if possible)

Should You Feature People?

We commonly get asked if people should be present in your tour. We can photograph with or without people present. It is more common for us to photograph without people present so that the focus is more on the space, but we have done photoshoots both ways. Having people present creates a nice human touch. 

If you want people present, we recommend using your staff (or yourself). This way we can stage them and the result is better. We need the permission of any persons visible (non-blurred faces) in your photoshoot. 

If your business has customers present, not to worry, we can photograph around them, and any customers that do end up in the shots, we can blur their faces.
