Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about displaying your work in your photography studio.

Be consistent with your brand

As a professional photographer, the type of clients you attract is greatly influenced by the first impression they get when they walk into your studio. If your work is not organized in a consistent way, it’s easy for potential clients to conclude that you don’t pay much attention to detail.
Therefore, your studio should convey that you are organized and careful with your work. This will demonstrate that you are a professional who takes pride in your work and will inspire clients to trust you with their photoshoots.

Organize your work by date and theme

To keep things organized, you can organize all your work by date or by style. This way, you will have an easier time finding any piece of work that you’re looking for. This also lets your clients see the progress you’ve made and the themes you’ve explored with your photography.
If you specialize in one type of photography, then you may want to display your work by date. However, if you are offering multiple different types of photography services, then you will want to select a few of your best photos in that style and group them together.

Hang your best work on the walls

One of the best ways to display your work in your photography studio is to hang it on the walls. This will not only give you more space for storage, but it will also allow you to feature your best work in your studio.
As mentioned, you can arrange your work in a design that makes sense to you, or you can simply hang your most recent shots on the wall. But remember, make sure you are showcasing your best photos, the pieces you choose to display will say a lot about you as a photographer.

Use the floor and shelving to showcase certain pieces

If you want to display large items or framed pieces, you can also use the floor to do so. For example, you can feature a large piece on an easel towards the corner of your studio that clients see when they step into you space.
This will allow potential clients to have a clear path as they tour your studio and view your work. You can also use shelving to showcase items that wouldn’t look right hanging on the walls. This may include acrylic blocks or easel-back prints. Ideally, you want to utilize all your studio space, without it looking cluttered, or interfering with your work area.

Showcase work in glass display cases

Now, if you want to showcase your best work in a way that’s a bit more elegant than just putting it on the wall or the floor, you could look into getting a glass display cases. These are commonly used in museums to show off valuable pieces of artwork, and they can be used to show off your best work as well.
They’re also helpful if you have clients who are interested in purchasing your work. This way, they can see the details of your work in a clean and easy-to-view setting. By investing in some high-quality display cases, you're also sending a message that your work is valuable, and as such, you can charge higher rates for your services.
