How to photograph defective work

See our top tips below for taking the best photos of your defective work:

1. Use reasonable lighting: natural light is best but if needed, add a light source, and make sure to avoid shadows.
2. Provide scale: using a tape measure is very effective, alternatively you can use objects to indicate scale.
3. Ensure the photo has a wide and focused view.
4. Safety first: never put yourself in harm’s way for a photo. Please don’t risk your safety climbing up on roofs or hanging out of windows. Nothing is worth risking harm.
