If you’ve ever submitted your design projects to any major editorial publication, you know that editors are looking for one thing: options. When it comes to interior photography, providing a balanced mix of wide shots and vignettes is essential to getting your work noticed and published.
Wide shots offer a sweeping view of the entire space, while vignettes focus on the individual areas that make up the larger whole of the room. Together, these types of images create a compelling visual story that editors—and readers—can’t resist. And this is exactly where we bring our expertise into play. With years of experience working with top editorial publications, we understand how to provide editors with the variety of shots they need to feature your work.
Wide Shots: Setting the Scene
Wide shots are essential for giving a sense of the room’s layout, flow, and overall design. They allow viewers to take in the full context of the space, seeing how different rooms or areas connect and work together. These shots are particularly important when you want to showcase an open-concept design or highlight how your design elements create harmony throughout a home.
At the same time, wide shots must be carefully crafted. It’s not just about capturing the room; it’s about telling the story of the space. We bring our expertise to ensure that these shots are framed perfectly, with attention to lighting, perspective, and composition, so editors can easily see the full scope of your work.
Vignettes: Showcasing the Key Areas
While wide shots give an overview, vignettes dive into the details that bring the design together. Vignettes are about highlighting the key areas that make up the larger whole of the room. Whether it’s a carefully styled corner, a seating arrangement, or a focal design feature, these close-up shots capture the essence of the space in ways that a wide shot cannot.
Editors love vignettes because they provide texture, emotion, and depth to a project’s visual story. These shots allow the viewer to experience the thoughtfulness behind each design decision—how the materials, colors, and objects interact to create the mood and function of the room.
How We Help You Capture It All
With our extensive experience working with editorial publications, we know exactly what editors want: variety. Publications don’t just want a handful of images—they need a range of photos that give them flexibility to curate the story as they see fit. This means wide shots, vignettes, and everything in between.
When you work with us, we ensure you get a comprehensive set of images that covers all angles—both literally and figuratively. We plan the shoot with your publication goals in mind, making sure that your portfolio includes:
