Hi! I'm Linda Holt,

 A photographer-turned interior designer-turned smartphone photography educator

With 20+ years as a professional photographer and over a decade running my own interior design firm, I know how powerful the right “before” photos can be. They’re the foundation for compelling transformations, portfolio pieces, and marketing that grabs attention.

I created this guide to help design pros capture the “before” shots that clearly show the difference and highlight the full impact of the “after” photos, with step-by-step guidance on exactly which angles to use and what details to highlight.
