Setting Out

Search every lesson, checklist and resource. Try a plant, a material, or a problem you have.

Photographing your project properly

Light, position, height and timing. Good photographs are how you evaluate your own work honestly, how you build a portfolio, and what an agent will want when the house eventually sells.

Not planted yet — but the plan for it is final

The practical task and the checklist below are exactly what this lesson will teach. What is missing is the written explanation and the curated links, each one fetched and verified before it ships.

In the meantime the checklist is genuinely usable on its own. Take it outside.

Checklist

  • Shot in early morning or late afternoon light, not midday
  • Repeated the exact positions from your "before" set
  • Camera at a consistent, natural eye height
  • Wide establishing shots plus detail shots of the good joinery and edges
