Time – 12:00

Availability – Available at all open store times

Advantages – The advantages of using IKEA as a location for a photo shoot for lifestyle is that they have multiple sets that you can use to show the layout of a room and the products you would put in that room. The images you can take in this location are similar to those that you would find in a home and lifestyle magazine.

Another advantage is that it is easily accessible.

Disadvantages – The major disadvantage with using this location as a photo shoot for a lifestyle magazine is that it is a shop and they own all rights to the furniture and sets within it. This makes it illegal to take professional images and use them for a magazine.

Another disadvantage is that because it is a shop, the furniture is covered in labels. This means that even if you were to take images with a mobile phone, the images would not be useable as they will be covered in labels, and it will look highly unprofessional.
