Real photos make websites trustworthy. A planned shot list makes a half-day photoshoot productive.
The shot list
- Team: individual portraits and a group photo, consistent background.
- Founder: a few relaxed and professional shots.
- Premises: exterior with signage, reception, workspace.
- Work in progress: people doing the work.
- Products: clean and lifestyle shots.
- Customers: with permission, being served or using products.
- Details: tools, materials, quality checks.
- Wide banners: horizontal images with space for text.
Plan for layouts
Shoot both horizontal (website banners) and vertical (mobile and social) versions.
After the shoot
- Choose the best and edit lightly.
- Resize for web with our image resizer.
- Compress with our image compressor.
- Name files descriptively.
Consent
Get permission from employees and customers who appear.
