Restoration and trades: show the work between the photos

Use a condition, a repair decision and a result to show why someone should trust you with their building.

Photograph the detail that made the job interesting

Theo’s opening is a library entrance. The close-up that earns its place shows where new oak meets sound wood. A visitor can see what he repaired, what he saved and how much of the original door is still in use.

Give the finished photograph a working caption

Explain how you diagnosed the problem, what you chose to keep and what you checked at handover. Theo’s record follows the condition, treatment and trial hang. That sequence gives a facilities manager something to ask about.

Tell clients how to show you the job

A short inquiry guide can ask for the whole piece, a detail of the problem and what needs to work again. Eigenstory can turn that into a commission page and put the detailed bench notes where a conservator or builder can find them.

Sources accompany the advice they support. The cited institutions do not endorse Eigenstory.
