Landscape Photography & Portfolio

Photographing your projects for portfolio, marketing, and client proposals. Before/after, details, and wide shots.

A bad photo of a great landscape looks like a good landscape that a toddler photographed. Step it up. Your work deserves better.

What you'll learn

Camera basicsLightingCompositionBefore/afterPortfolio building

The golden hours (first hour after sunrise, last hour before sunset) give the best landscape photos. Overcast days are second-best - even light, no harsh shadows. Avoid noon sun like it's a sales call. Shoot from a low angle to show depth and scale. Use a tripod for sharpness and consistency.

Before/after: mark the exact camera position for the 'after' shot. Use the same lens, height, and time of day. The stronger the 'before' (not just bad, but specifically bad - tired plants, bad lighting, uneven lawn), the more dramatic the transformation. Clients sign contracts based on before/after photos.
