They say a picture is worth 1,000 words.

And in our experience at Eva, that’s true. Below are a few before and afters of one of our favorite Eva projects on Daniel Island, SC.
Don't just focus on the end result.
Capturing the full transformation of your home renovation is powerful:
  • Track Progress: Seeing how far you’ve come keeps you motivated.

  • Showcase Your Vision: Perfect for social media, listing photos, and personal archives.

  • Boost Resale Value: Before-and-after comparisons help potential buyers see the real value of upgrades.

  • Leverage for Business: Flippers, real estate agents, and designers can build credibility & attract new clients.

How to take stunning before and after photos of your home renovation:
  1. Lighting is Everything: Take photos in natural daylight whenever possible to capture the best colors and details.

  2. Keep the Angles Consistent: Shoot from the same spot & angle for a true side-by-side transformation.

  3. Declutter Before Shooting: A clean, staged space makes the biggest impact.

  4. Use a Tripod for Stability: Ensures sharp, professional-looking results.

  5. Take Close-Ups of Details: Don’t just show the room—highlight materials, fixtures, and finishes that made a difference.

  6. Show Scale & Perspective: Include a mix of wide shots & detail shots to fully tell the story.

Where to use your before and after photos:
  • Social Media & Portfolio: Whether you’re a homeowner, flipper, or agent, these images inspire and attract.

  • Real Estate Listings: Buyers love seeing the journey from outdated to upgraded.

  • Home Improvement Blogs: Inspire others and build authority in the space.

  • Eva Mood Boards: Share transformation stories within Eva’s community to help others visualize their own projects.
