How do I take photos of my work that actually help marketing?
Short answer
Before-during-after, clean lighting, no people unless permitted, same angle for before and after. Five minutes per job. Pure gold for years.
Build the habit
Photo at arrival, during the work, and final shot. Same vantage point on before and after so the difference is obvious. Phone camera is fine, just clean the lens.
Where to use them
Google Business Profile, website, quotes you send out, social posts, sales conversations. One good before/after closes deals that words never could.
