=== PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS ===

**Before photos:**
- Take them BEFORE any demo starts
- Same angle, same height, same lens as you'll use for "after"
- Include wide shots and detail shots
- Show the problems clearly (don't hide them — they're the story)
- Natural light preferred

**After photos:**
- Match the before angles exactly
- Stage the space (even minimally — clear counters, add a plant or towel)
- Shoot in natural light (golden hour is best)
- Wide angle for room shots, close-up for details
- Hire a pro photographer for your best projects ($200-500 — worth every penny)

**Process photos:**
- Demo day, framing, rough-in, finishing
- These tell the story of craftsmanship
- Great for social media "building process" reels
