Home/Home decor photography
Decor photographed in a room, not a box
Nobody buys a vase because of the vase. They buy it because of the shelf it was standing on. Shotina builds that shelf around your actual piece.

Styling is the whole product
In decor, the photo is not a record of the object. It is the reason someone imagines it in their own house, and a white background gives them nothing to imagine with.
Staging costs a day per scene
Props, backdrop, plants, the right table, the right light. All of it for a single product that might sell twelve units.
Ranges need to look related
Six pieces shot on six different days in six different lights do not read as one collection on a category page.
Glaze and texture disappear
Flat frontal light kills a speckled glaze, a wood grain or a woven weave, which is the exact thing you are charging for.
Seasonal ranges move fast
By the time the shoot is booked and edited, the season has changed and the range is already discounted.
Settings built for decor
Compositions that suit ceramics, lighting, textiles and wall art, all from one plain photo.
Cushions, throws and weave
Soft goods live or die on texture. Side light and a real chair do more for a woven cushion than any amount of colour correction on a flat lay.
- On the sofa, the chair and the bed
- Weave and pile shown in raking light
- Sets styled together as a range
A range that looks like a range
Run the whole collection through the same setting and the category page finally looks designed instead of assembled. Or vary the rooms deliberately, one command either way.
- The same interior across a collection
- Or a different room on every piece
- Props chosen to fit the object
What a range costs
What decor brands ask
Does the glaze stay accurate?
Yes. The piece comes from your photo, so a speckled reactive glaze stays speckled. What changes is the surface it sits on and the light falling across it.
Can I match the styling to my brand?
Yes. Pick a preset scene or describe the interior in your own words, down to the wall finish, the furniture and the time of day.
Does it work for lamps and lighting?
Yes, including shots with the lamp lit in an evening interior, which is normally a separate shoot with its own lighting setup.
What about wall art and mirrors?
They get hung on a wall above real furniture, at a believable size, which is the shot most art sellers are missing.
Can I do a whole collection at once?
Yes. Queue the products as a batch and let it run, then review the sets together before publishing.
