Preparing to Take Interior Photos
The quality of interior photos is greatly influenced by preparation. First, set a theme. Decide on the atmosphere you want to capture, such as "Nordic" or "Modern," and arrange items that match it.
Also, turning on the grid function on your smartphone or camera to align the room's lines horizontally and vertically is an important point. This alone greatly improves the overall balance of the photo.

Additionally, it is recommended to utilize natural light for shooting. Using the soft light of the day can enhance the charm of interiors without special equipment.
Practical Techniques to Maximize Appeal
Once you're prepared, it's time to take on the challenge of shooting. Shooting from a seated height rather than a standing eye level creates depth. The recommended height is about 60-80cm from the floor.

Also, it's a tip to decide on one main subject in the photo. Focus on your favorite sofa or accessory, and use portrait mode to blur the background, making the main subject stand out. Furthermore, try to be conscious of the composition of "foreground," "center," and "background."
Enhancing Photos through Editing
After shooting, finish with editing. Even slight adjustments to brightness and color tone can significantly change the atmosphere of a photo. If you want warmth, try orange filters; for a cooler impression, try blue filters.
If the composition is a concern, use cropping to adjust horizontal and vertical alignment as well.
