Preparing your pool starts months in advance; sometimes, it will end in disaster if you try last second to shock your pool for your photoshoot. If your pool does not look photo-ready for your upcoming shoot, it is best to call a pool professional and let them handle the situation instead of trying to shock your pool yourself. You may end up with a milky-white pool and photos that require intensive editing. 

If your budget allows, we suggest an addition to Daylight photos that you try to get Twilight or night photos of your pool as they are often the most striking. However, it is essential to get full daylight photos as those are your marketing photos because everyone wants to think of a  bright sunshiny warm area when they think about a swimming pool.

Pro Tip: When preparing for your photoshoot that includes a pool, ask your landscapers not to blow debris near the pool. It often ends up in the bottom and creates an eyesore. If you try to remove it from the pool, you will end up with water on the deck which may change the color of the concrete in that area, creating another eyesore.
