Good pictures of is the easiest and most effective way to make your meeting space stand out and make a good impression.

Make your room ready for the photoshoot

  • Clean up the room and make it look nice and inviting.
  • Keep the background simple and not too messy.

Light on outdoor pictures

  • Choose a sunny day with clear skies.
  • Make sure always to have the sun behind you and avoid getting your shadow in the picture.

Present your room at its best

  • Find the best angle for the room. It’s often from a corner as it gives the best room distribution.
  • Take the pictures from about 130 cm from above the floor.
  • To make your room look as bright and big as possible, make sure to include windows or maybe a view into the next room in the picture.
  • You can’t magically make your room bigger but try to make more space between the furniture or even remove some.
  • If your camera has a wide angle function you should definitely try it out.
  • Add green plants to make the room look cosier.

Should there be people in the picture or not?

  • It depends on the size of the room. People at the picture brings life but keep it simple and only add people to the picture if it looks natural.

​Light at indoor pictures

  • Daylight always gives the best results.
  • Slightly cloudy weather is ideal. Bright sunlight gives shadows and backlight.
  • Take the pictures in the middle of the day where the light is ideal.
  • Pull curtains and blinds aside and let the daylight in.
  • Basically, turn off all artificial light.

Format and size

  • Take the pictures horizontally. This is the best-shown format at the internet or smartphone.
  • Be sure to hold the camera horizontal so the pictures don’t lean to one side or the other.
