How to take great photos of your shop and your team
Need a photographer to take your photos?
We can have a photographer come to your location and shoot professional quality photos of your shop, your team, and anything else you would like to highlight on your website. Ask Carl about this service.
When taking your own photos, please refer to our photo taking guidelines
In order for us to build the best website for your shop, we need you to provide photos of the exterior of your shop, your team in action, and of you, the shop owner. Follow these guidelines for taking good photos. Upload them using the photo uploader below, or email to carl@graphichome.com.
Horizontal format photos
Using a smartphone or camera, all photos of your shop and your team should be taken in widescreen/horizontal format as shown in this photo.
Shop exterior photo
Walk across the street and take some photos of the outside of the shop. Leave some space to the left and right of the shop building as shown in the example. Be sure to include your sign if possible. It would also help to see some action happening along with some customer cars in your lot waiting to be worked on.
Do not take photos of your shop with an empty lot or no cars visible. You don’t want your shop to appear to be abandoned.
Shop owners/managers photos
Customers should see a photo of the owner(s) and anyone that may greet them upon arrival. Using part of the interior, or the exterior building as a background, shoot photos of these individuals.
Team action photos
Shoot photos of your team in action. Try to include the nicer areas of your shop in the background.
If there is clutter in the background of the photo, we can hide or remove this after the fact in the photo.
Team photos
Shoot photos of your team. Keep farily close to the subjects so that everyone can see their smiling faces.
