Preparing televisions and fireplaces

Set up screens and fireplaces safely before you photograph a room.

Decide how screens and fireplaces should look before you take the photo. Follow the property owner’s direction. Never create a fire or electrical risk for a photo.

Prepare the scene

  • Remove reflections and clutter only when allowed.
  • Turn a television off when its content or reflections are distracting.
  • Follow appliance instructions and local safety rules around a fireplace.

Photograph the approved room as it is. Make any later editing choices in a separate review.
