How Framing Choices Serve Different Clients
When I shoot interiors, I usually capture spaces in two different ways:
Example A is shot from the corner of the room, showing as much coverage as possible — usually three walls, sometimes even managing to squeeze two rooms into one frame. These shots make the space feel larger and give a strong sense of layout. Great for estate agents.
Example B is shot straight on, from the middle of the room or aligned with the main feature. These are my personal favourites — they feel more balanced, cleaner, and tend to have less distortion. This is the style I lean towards for my portfolio, and it's closer to how I’d shoot for an interior designer (though I’d usually switch out the 15mm lens for something like a 35mm or 50mm).
My process involves delivering a full set of images — contact sheets with a basic edit so clients can select the shots that best fit their needs. Once selections are made, the final images are professionally edited by my post-production team. But if time is short and the client isn’t able to take part in that stage, I’m happy to make the selections myself and tailor the final set to suit the client and how the images will be used.
For estate agents, I usually favour the wider corner shots (like Example A) because they clearly showcase the space and layout—ideal for property listings. For interior designers, I prefer the more balanced, straight-on shots (Example B), which better complement their style. For short-stay hosts, it's a hybrid approach, combining both framing styles with additional detail shots to capture the unique character of the space. 📸
