A Perfect 'Store Front' Photo

Ewaade_3A · June 10, 2021, 6:30pm

I have gotten a lot of features since I joined the Local Guides’ family and began my Mapping journey ‘Consciously’ but I have never been as wowed as the Feature I just got, so much fascinated I was by this feature, that I decided to drop all I was doing and come make a post about it.

My Photo just got featured on Leisure Mall!!!

Mama, I made it!Kai! I done blow o, make una follow me celebrate o!

But, on a more serious note, what do you think makes for that Perfect ‘Store Front’ Photo?

I will go first;

The Photo must be taken in ‘landscape mode’; this gives the viewer a feel of the way the photo appears in its surroundings
It must capture the entrance nicely
It must show the name of the P.O.I. or business legibly
and what do I know? I think it should capture a ‘feel of the place’, by infusing some ‘Human element’ (you got to blur out the faces for Maps though).

What else do you think makes a Perfect or a Great Store Front Photo? Do tell me why you think some photos get featured over the others and why a featured photo is not necessarily the best Photo in the Comments below

Thank you.

Whether or not a storefront pic (or indeed any kind of pic uploaded to Maps) should have a ‘human element’ has brought about quite a bit of discussion already @Ewaade_3A

My storefront pic I would like to showcase here is already 3 years old, but still is featured on the POI, as it was from day 1. It was taken on a Sunday, when the shops are closed and therefore does not have any human element at all. As the parking lot when completely empty, I was able to position myself perfectly and take the time to get the framing right.
