ItermarkChoose a corner that will survive the project
A good renovation view includes an architectural edge that will not move: a door frame, window, baseboard, or corner. Stand far enough back to include the area that matters. If furniture or tools temporarily block the view, record the next usable stage rather than forcing a misleading angle.
The useful interval is the one your project can sustain, not a fixed daily target.
A four-point framing check
- Same corner. Use the same wall or doorway as the anchor.
- Same height. Keep the phone at a repeatable eye or chest level.
- Same orientation. Portrait and landscape are both fine; mixing them makes comparison harder.
- Same light when possible. Natural light changes, so treat it as context rather than a reason to discard the entry.
Keep the series honest
A progress photo should show the project as it was, not only the tidy version. Keep the date and let the intermediate mess exist in the timeline. Later, compare the cleared room to the painted room, or the old shelves to the new ones, without pretending the work happened in one afternoon.
Itermark is a visual project record. It does not measure construction quality, certify work, or tell you when a renovation is complete.
