Interior, Trade & Design Photography in Melrose — the craft

Naming, credits and supplier co-marketing

Trade work is only useful if it can be found and shared. Every file is delivered named by project, room and detail — not IMG_4821 — with alt text written for the web, plus web-optimised and print-resolution exports. Where a job involves a supplier and an installer who both want to post it, we agree the credit line and the usage before delivery so the stone supplier, the designer and the fitter can all publish the same set without a dispute. Licences run for 24 months across paid and organic social, website, brochures and trade press for every party named in the brief.

Verticals, lens choice and honest rooms

Small rooms are where amateur interior photography falls apart. Ultra-wide lenses stretch a basin into a trough, tilt the walls and make a well-proportioned bathroom look like a corridor. We shoot interiors on prime and mid-wide focal lengths, level the camera, keep verticals true and correct the remaining perspective in post so the room reads at its actual proportion. Where a space genuinely cannot be captured in one frame — a narrow guest bathroom, a scullery, a walk-in wardrobe — we photograph it in two considered frames rather than one distorted one. Nothing is stretched, nothing is content-aware widened, and the room the client walks into matches the photograph they saw.
