Photography Best Practices
Shopping Center Signage
We are looking for a local landmark or shopping center signage to help our customers easily identify where our store is located in town. We typically use this in our description similar to our verbiage here.
Store Front
Ideally we are looking for a shot without any vehicles in front of our store. In the event that there are vehicles in the way, please still photograph. We will possibly schedule another date to do a reshoot of just the exterior at an earlier time of day before businesses open. Our store manager should have removed all grand opening signage from our windows prior to your arrival. If by chance they haven’t, please ask them to remove it before taking photos of the store front.
We are looking for 3 different shots of our exterior.
Zoomed out photo
- This is used for our hero image for each store locations. Example Here
- We want a photo that shows what businesses are near us. (See example on the right)
- If possible, either shoot the photo to have Milan be off-centered to the right or left.
- For consistency, we prefer the photo to not be at an angle.
- This shot could be used in a variety of ways, so we need a lot of background in the picture to make it easier to edit for different mediums.
Cropped photo of store front only
- This will be used on our location page and will be in portrait format. Please leave enough space for our store information.
- Straight-on shot. Could be the same as the zoomed out photo mentioned above but cropped.
Angled shot of the door
- Zoomed in angle shot of the door. (See example on the right)
INTERIOR PHOTOS
All four of our interior photographs are used primarily for our About Us page found here and are 461x388. Please shoot all interior photos in landscape and send us the full resolution files. Feel free to photograph as you see fit however please include at least one shot like the examples shown here.
Front Desk
- Include our logo.
- Shot from the perspective of someone walking up to the front desk.
- Prefer photos shot at an angle if possible.
Lobby
- Include the whole seating area.
- Prefer photos shot at an angle from hallway.
Consultation Room
- Booklet with Milan logo should be included in the shot.
- Prefer photos that include the TV.
Treatment Rooms(s)
Most of our locations only have one treatment room. Our store manager will communicate if we have more than one.
- Our store manager is instructed to not have a sheet on the treatment table.
- Note some of our chairs my be discolored and that’s okay. We will color correct.
