The 10 Photos Every Tradie Needs: A Simple Shot List You Can Steal

Nov 20

If your website or socials look a bit empty, it’s usually because you’re missing the right photos — not because you’re “bad at content”.

Here’s a simple shot list every tradie can use.
Save it. Screenshot it. Hand it to your apprentice.

1. Hero shot of a finished job

Your best angle, clean and sharp.

Trust builders. Customers love transformation.

Shows scale and layout — especially for kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping and carpentry.

Tile lines, joinery corners, tapware, welds, fixtures, neat wiring — the stuff that proves quality.

Process photos feel real and authentic.

A few quick shots as the job develops.
Great for reels and case studies.

Nothing posed. Natural, working shots look best.

People love to see branded vans and utes — instant trust factor.

PPE, tidy site, drop sheets, protection — shows you’re a professional.

If they’re comfortable, grab a quick handshake or “finished job” shot.
