great tips, as always!

[@friedhelf]

Haben Sie vielen herzlichen Dank!

[@triplewinlin5576]

I love how you explained art hanging heights, leading the eye with color, aligning chairs, books, etc., and balancing placement of items within bookcases, and so much more. These are things that decorators, home stagers, and really good photographers are trained to do, but most people are not aware of these things. I especially love how you recommended to have our homes in a camera-ready state at all times. Subbed!

Great advice, thank you.

[@jimdevinney1152]

Excellent Steven, You provide so much help we are very grateful!

[@bestimoro2678]

Valuable info! Many thanks for preparing and sharing this material!

[@fredwasson8712]

Your content is excellent! It would be helpful to include links to your books and website in the video description. Please keep the great videos coming!

Look what you made me do Steven! I'm running around my house with a measuring tape and my paintings are too high! Books, disorderly! Fringes, all messy! Towel folds, pointing towards me! I hate you! I don't really. Precious tips, truly. Thank you as always. Your videos are absolutely priceless.

[@stevenbrookephotography]

LOL....Okay. Clearly an issue here. I think perhaps a 'view at your own risk' warning might have been appropriate. ;)

[@mcharlene7787]

Most interesting. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Your use of of text and relative visuals enhance the video. Keeping the home "tour ready," as I describe it, is much easier now that all the children are grown and the last pet passed away. However, out comes my measuring tape now. Yikes!

[@renaisslim5729]

The practice tips are very useful to me! Thank you Steve Brooke!

[@usmanzafarpk]

Great work

[@jeffrey_s_austin_llc]

My wife, accidentally, watched your video and now I have a honey do list from hell. 🤣

[@stevenbrookephotography]

Ok, Jeffrey, this is on me. As I mentioned to another member of our community, I regrettably neglected to add the critical "Watch At Your Own Risk" warning. Won't happen again. ;)

[@elisabethguggenbuhlwuthric3792]

thank you for this great info! I have a question: Pets. we have cats and dogs. their scratching posts and beds are not very... compositional, but they live here. I would not want to remove all their stuff and pretend like they don’t exist. what would you recommend? scratching posts are admittedly really ugly.

[@stevenbrookephotography]

I certainly take your point about the animals, Elisabeth. Like us, they have their favorite stuff; and all of it becomes part of our lives. So, there probably is one place that’s just right for their scratching posts and beds: conveniently located for them, but not center stage in the room. Would I take them out if I were actually photographing the space? Unless they were thoughtfully designed (and there actually are some well-designed pet accessories), then yes, they definitely go out of the photograph (like doormats and waste baskets), for the very reason that you say: they’re usually not very attractive.

[@elisabethguggenbuhlwuthric3792]

@@stevenbrookephotography thank you! I will definitely try to make indoors photos of our home, it's a great reason to clean up and declutter :-)

[@HaroldEscalona]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@fredwilsenack8634]

IKEA used to be our gold standard for interior design. Not any more...

[@josephasghar]

90% of interiors photography is moving furniture.

[@stevenbrookephotography]

The art comes in knowing precisely where to place that furniture.
