Start wide, then move closer
The first photo should show the whole situation. We need to see where the material sits in relation to the property, not only what it looks like up close.
Then add closer photos that make the material and any mixed contents easy to identify.
Photograph the path
The route out of the property can matter as much as the item or pile itself. Show the path from the work area to the street or likely loading point.
- The full work area
- The material from more than one angle
- Gates, stairs, slopes and narrow turns
- Walls, fences, landscaping or parked vehicles near the path
- Anything connected to utilities or built into another surface
Say what the photo cannot show
Photos do not show weight, hidden contents, underground conditions or every access problem. Add a short note about anything that is hard to see or still unknown.
