Photography, Portfolio & Content

About this course

A staged home is only half the job; the other half is showing it. This course teaches you to photograph rooms well with your phone, plan a shot list for every room, brief and work with a professional photographer, and turn your projects into before and after case studies. You will then learn how to build a portfolio and create simple social content and reels with a weekly rhythm you can keep up. Each module closes with real project photographs, and inspiration images at the end show what strong staging photography looks like.
