Charleston Interior Photographer

Editorial photography for interior designers, builders, architects, and creative teams who care deeply about design.

Your spaces are beautiful in person. Let’s make sure they feel that way in photographs.

I photograph interiors with an editorial eye, using intentional lighting, thoughtful composition, and true-to-life color to create images that feel polished, dimensional, and true to your vision.

Your photographs become part of your portfolio, your marketing, your press opportunities, and often the first impression a potential client has of your work. They should work as hard as you do.

While both showcase spaces, the goals and approach are very different. Real estate photography is typically fast-paced, designed to quickly show a property to potential buyers, and focuses on wide shots that cover as much ground as possible. Interior photography, on the other hand, is slower, more intentional, and highly detail-focused. It’s about telling the story of a space: capturing texture, light, and design choices with an editorial eye. At Golden Photos, we use professional lighting, thoughtful styling, and precise composition to create images that not only document a space but also elevate it. Perfect for portfolios, publications, social media, and marketing!
Yes! And honestly, I’m all for it. People, pets, even little in-the-moment happenings—it all makes a space feel more real and more interesting. It’s fun, it’s collaborative, and it brings the photos to life. Let’s do it.
I bring professional lighting to every shoot and use it intentionally alongside the existing light in the space. The goal isn't to make a room look artificially lit. It's to create balanced, dimensional images that feel natural while accurately capturing the design, materials, color, and atmosphere of the space.
As soon as possible! The sooner we chat, the more time we have to plan your shoot, nail the styling, and make sure your space shines. Let’s get you on the calendar. Contact us for a chat!

Even the most beautiful design can get lost in a simple snapshot. That’s where professional photography comes in.. careful lighting, composition, and attention to every detail bring the space to life exactly as it was meant to be seen. I specialize in interiors, so I know how to highlight what makes each space unique while creating images that feel effortless, editorial, and true to your vision.
