BUSINESS PHOTO CHECKLIST
Free from StegPoint · stegpoint.com

PLAN YOUR SHOOT
Choose a tidy, well-lit setting that reflects your real business. Use photos you own or have permission to use. Ask permission before photographing identifiable customers, staff or private properties. Check for addresses, number plates, paperwork and screens that should not be visible.

YOUR SHOT LIST
[ ] Wide hero photo: your work or setting, with uncluttered space for a headline.
[ ] Portrait version of the hero scene for a phone screen.
[ ] Friendly portrait of the owner.
[ ] Team photo, if relevant and everyone agrees.
[ ] Main service in progress.
[ ] A second service in progress.
[ ] Close-up of materials, tools or a meaningful detail.
[ ] Finished result from a customer's usual viewpoint.
[ ] Wider view showing the result in context.
[ ] Before photo, where useful and permitted.
[ ] Matching after photo from the same angle and lighting.
[ ] Entrance or arrival point, if customers visit you.

WHILE YOU SHOOT
Clean the lens. Use the camera's normal photo mode and good natural light.
Take a few versions of each shot; include wide and portrait options.
Keep important subjects away from the edges so images can crop on phones.
Leave clear space in hero shots where text might sit.
Hold the camera level and check focus before moving on.
Avoid heavy filters or edits that misrepresent the work.

BEFORE HANDOVER
[ ] Keep original-resolution files; avoid screenshots or compressed chat copies.
[ ] Choose the strongest images instead of sending every attempt.
[ ] Name files clearly, such as service-name-finished-01.jpg.
[ ] Add a short description of what each photo shows.
[ ] Record where permission is held for identifiable people or private sites.
[ ] Flag any crop or detail that must be preserved.
