To bring out the best features of an interior space, our photographers work closely with each client from day one, dialing into their precise needs, vision, budget, and objectives.

If you need interior photography done by true professionals who make the process as easy as possible while delivering exceptional results, it’s time to contact Alias.
Specializing in professional photography for high-end, super-luxe brands, Alias has a well-established process for interior photography shoots and sessions.
Our process, crafted from years of experience, invokes industry best practices, unparalleled expertise, a one-of-a-kind creative vision, and unmatched attention to detail.
Harmonizing technical skill and well-honed artistry, we consistently capture stunning interior images for brands across the nation.
To do that, we generally leverage:
Lighting techniques: Our team will scout locations and venues to evaluate artificial light, natural light, and how lighting changes over the course of a day. While that can inform the ideal timing for interior photography shoots, it can also give our photographers a better idea of what additional lighting equipment they may need to be on hand for the photo session(s).
Composition and perspective: The angles, lines of sight, and focal points of photos can draw the eyes in while instantly communicating some message or feeling. The photographers and creative experts at Alias compose every shot with purpose and our clients’ end goals in mind. That means planning for several types of shots, preparing the interior spaces ahead of time, and adding elements when needed. It also means stepping into the shoes our our clients’ target audience to envision the perfect perspectives for various shots.
State-of-the-art equipment: Our team uses top-of-the-line cameras, lenses, lighting equipment, and editing software to create beautiful photos that encapsulate the essence of luxury and high-concept brands. We also bring backup equipment with us just in case anything unplanned occurs during the photo session to minimize potential disruptions. The branded photos from these shoots are typically ideal for websites, social media, ad campaigns, PR campaigns, and so much more.
Boundary-elevating creativity: With thousands of photography sessions under our belt, the Alias team has sharp eyes and instincts for the je ne sais quoi — that special, ineffable something that can inspire the viewer and draw them into a space and photos of it. We routinely elevate plans, photography sessions, and the final images with an inspired creative touch that competitors simply can’t match.
Those are just some of the reasons why Alias is a referral partner of choice when it comes to professional interior photography for elite brands across several industries. Here are some more.
The possibilities for interior photos are nearly limitless. Effectively, that means that aesthetic, functional, and atmosphere-related elements, like (but not limited to) the following, could be the subjects of interior photos:
Architectural features: Vaulted ceilings, ornate windows, intricate moldings, intriguing staircases, and interesting doorways can all speak to the ambiance, feel, and overall vibe of a given space. That can suggest anything from historical relevance and fine craftsmanship to VIP, first-class experiences and beyond.
Décor: Furniture, rugs, art, and other décor can bring any interior space to life, particularly in interior photos from the Alias team. From texture details and high-end materials to panoramics of exquisitely designed rooms, we can feature the décor of interior spaces in a way that communicates elegance, flow, and style while showcasing the use(s) of or event(s) in a given space.
Harmonious color palettes: Visually arresting photos can be unforgettable with the right color palette on display. Our team is always mindful of color palettes and brand identity when composing interior photos and putting the final touches on them in post-production.
Atmosphere: Capturing the "feel" of a space through photos can take a delicate touch and a professional eye. Whether showing off lifestyle, ambiance, or the functionality of an interior space, this might involve staging scenes that evoke a sense of comfort, luxury, creativity, and next-level living, depending on the space and its purpose.
Transformations: When interior spaces are brand new (either newly constructed or renovated), before-and-after photos can be fascinating, engaging, and highly memorable for much wider audiences than just the target client.
These focal points can share a concise, meaningful story about an interior space, making these digital assets distinctly powerful for a variety of applications, from marketing to staff recruiting and more.
An interior and exterior photo shoot may be completed within a single day or over the course of a few days (or more).. Whether or not a one-day professional photo session is feasible depends on:
The extent of the shot lists: If more interior and exterior photos need to be captured, each photo session may need to be scheduled for its own day (or a few days).
The setup needs: If some (or all) of the interior and exterior shots require extensive setup, again, it may take more time to capture all of the photos on the shot list. It may also be prudent to plan for longer sessions spanning a couple of days or more so that there aren’t any time crunches or avoidable mistakes to contend with.
The weather: Weather conditions don’t always match predictions. So, if adverse weather suddenly becomes an issue on the day of an interior and exterior photo shoot, the exterior portion may need to be rescheduled.
The equipment: If special equipment, like drone cameras, will be used in the photo shoot, wind conditions can be a point of concern, and there may need to be separate days to put some crucial pieces in place, like coordinating special security concerns, any required permits, and more.
If you need an interior and exterior photo shoot completed in a single day, the Alias team will do everything possible to make that happen and meet your time constraints.
If you need more precise answers about the process and duration of our professional photography sessions, simply contact Alias.
Just like the timelines, the costs of exterior-interior photography sessions vary from shoot to shoot because no two professional photography sessions are 100% identical. Instead, factors like (and not limited to) the following can impact the overall costs:
How many images are needed
Whether drone photography is part of the session
The planned duration of the photography shoot
Any special models, equipment, and/or other items needed
Any permitting and/or security needs for the photo shoot
Alias is 100% transparent about all pricing, so there are never any surprises about what a custom interior-exterior photo session will cost. We also take steps to identify the budget at the start of every project, so we can make prudent recommendations that support the end goals without exceeding any budget constraints.

Book an interior-exterior photography session for your brand whenever it’s time to:
Make a big announcement: Grand openings, new locations, and newly updated spaces can get more notice with stunning photos to go with press releases, social media campaigns and profiles, and so much more.
Refresh dated digital assets: Older images can make a brand look like it's behind the times or that it doesn’t care about delivering the “best” experience. New professional photos can spotlight a brand as contemporary, thoughtful, and better than the rest — and that can resonate with an audience when it’s time to make a purchasing decision.
Generate new interest in a brand or its offerings: Fresh interior photos and exterior images can feature never-before-captured aspects of a venue, an event, or some offering. That can create novel interest with all-new audiences, making any brand a stronger power player in niche and wider circles.
Spotlight seasonal offerings and promotions: Showcase holiday events, deals, special experiences, and more with photos that are equally smart and stunning.
There’s no “wrong” time to book an interior-exterior photography session if you’re serious about amplifying a brand and getting more leverage out of its digital assets.
