What to photograph
- The full run from a distance, so buyers see the style in context.
- Close-ups of posts, caps, hardware and gates.
- Before and after, where the old fence was in poor shape.
- Difficult jobs: slopes, corners and pool barriers.
Caption with useful facts
Material, height, style and the town are enough: "6-foot cedar privacy fence with a double drive gate, Mesa". Captions help visitors find the right example and give search engines context. Avoid the homeowner's address or anything identifying without permission.
Get permission
Ask customers whether you can photograph and publish their fence. Many will say yes, especially if you show them the photo. Keep a note of who agreed.
Organize by material
Group photos on each material page (wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental, block) rather than in one large gallery. A buyer reading about vinyl wants to see your vinyl work.
Never pass off stock as your work
Stock images can illustrate a general idea, but they should never be presented as your projects. Buyers notice, and it undermines every real photo on the site.
