Case Study: Jill Weber - Interior Designer - Editorial Home Photography

Aug 26

Client: Jill Weber: West Michigan Interior Designer

Creative Director & Photographer: Bradley Mansour

Brief: Jill Weber, a home interior designer based in West Michigan, came to Mansour Studios seeking to create her Interior Designer portfolio and capture imagery she can use across her marketing materials. She wanted imagery to reflect a “homey” and “comfortable” feeling throughout the spaces we captured.

Genre: Editorial Home Interior Photography

Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan

Right from our initial engagement, Jill was a person we could tell truly values her craft and what it means for the people who live in the spaces she designs. After a shift in her career, Jill sought to pursue her passions as an interior designer full-time and needed high-quality images that she could use across her marketing and portfolio-building efforts.

Our engagement began with our discovery process, designed specifically for interior design professionals. Through a short workshop, we identified Jill’s wants and needs from the imagery (where they will be used, ideal client profile, etc.), what spaces she wanted captured, production timelines, and the core emotions she wanted to convey from the imagery. This foundational work informed our pre-production strategy, encompassing:

Lighting Equipment and modifier needs
Production Scheduling and image turnaround times
Level of retouching needed (if any)
Editing Style
Home preparation guidelines

Following thorough preparation, we executed the production phase using commercial-quality equipment and techniques to ensure professional results that align with the high-end caliber of her designs. Our production methodology prioritizes minimal disruption to daily activities and ensures a quick and smooth process from start to finish.
