Photos for your website: a phone is enough, if you do these five things
Real photos of your place, your team and your work beat stock photography every time. You do not need a photographer. You need a phone, daylight and five habits.
Five habits
- Daylight, not the flash. Stand near a window or go outside. Turn the flash off.
- Landscape for the website, portrait for social. Websites are wide, phones are tall.
- Get closer. Fill the frame with the thing. Most photos are taken from too far away.
- Tidy the background. Move the bin. Close the drawer.
- Take ten, keep one. Professionals do exactly this.
What we do with them
Photos are compressed automatically when uploaded so they do not slow the site, and we crop them to fit the design. Send us the originals; we will do the rest.
