Photographs help a mover understand your inventory when they show both quantity and scale. A single tidy room photo can hide cupboards, loose items and furniture depth.
Photograph in a deliberate sequence
Take a wide view of each room, then individual pictures of large or unusual items. Show storage areas and the objects inside them where relevant. Add dimensions in your written inventory instead of expecting the provider to infer measurements from images.
Photograph the carrying route separately: doorways, lift entrance, stairs and the path to loading. State which items are staying so the provider does not count everything visible.
Protect your privacy
Move identification papers, financial documents and visible passwords out of frame. Avoid including other people's faces without a reason. Send detailed address and access information only through your agreed private booking channel.
After decluttering, update the inventory rather than sending an entirely new set of unlabeled photos. A short note such as “bookshelf removed; four boxes added” makes the change clear.
Can photos replace every on-site assessment?
Not always. Ask whether the provider needs a visit or more measurements for difficult access or large furniture.
Should I photograph damage too?
Yes, keep dated condition photos for your records and flag any handling concern before the move. These are distinct from the estimate's inventory pictures.
