Strong imagery underpins everything from social media and website banners to emails, ads and product launches. But great content doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of thoughtful planning, and knowing when to shoot is just as important as what you’re shooting.
The right backdrop does so much more than make your content look pretty. It can boost your brand presence, strengthen storytelling and make your social media instantly more engaging. With platforms moving quickly and audiences becoming more visually discerning, choosing a space that feels elevated and on-brand has become one of the smartest ways to stand out.
Every year it happens: Christmas creeps up on us. Maybe your launch date moved, stock arrived late, or the idea only just came together. The good news? You can still create beautiful, professional festive content – even on a tight timeline.
Every decision in production matters – from transport to catering to where you choose to shoot. By selecting a location that’s already doing the work – generating its own energy, using recycled materials, or designed with longevity in mind – your production automatically becomes part of the positive change our industry needs.
Owning a location house is a fantastic way to earn extra income and connect with top brands, photographers, stylists, and production companies looking for unique spaces for their creative productions and events.

Shooting in a quality location home can elevate your content, whether you’re working on a brand campaign, product shoot, or editorial. Unlike traditional studio setups, location homes offer character, natural lighting and a unique aesthetic that can help bring your vision to life.
When it comes to hosting small brand events – think product launches, influencer gatherings, or creative workshops – choosing the right location is everything. While traditional venues have their place, there’s one type of space that’s becoming increasingly popular: the home.
We’re excited to launch our brand-new Professional Directory, a space for freelance creative pros like Photographers, Stylists, Makeup artists, and Videographers to showcase their work and connect directly with clients across the Styled Home Studios platform.

We’ve asked Luke Perkins from our insurance partners Mode Insurance to talk us through the key insurance considerations for freelancers and small businesses that are looking to book a photoshoot location. It may not be the most ‘fun’ topic – but insurance can play a crucial role in the success of your business and provides valuable peace of mind to everyone involved in your location booking so we’re going to get some clarity on getting the correct cover and what do you do if you need to make a claim.
Whether you’re photographing your house yourself or hiring a photographer, it can be bamboozling on the day to think about what the photography needs to include. As with any photography, before a camera is even picked up, the magic is in the planning which includes knowing what information you need to capture in each shot.
We’re delighted to have the fantastic Press Loft writing this month’s Guest Expert article. If you’re a product based business this is not to be missed!
