1. Modern, elegant, and spacious house

Located at a central point in Dallas, so it’s easily accessible to most, this 2400-square-foot home was built just three years ago, and it shows! The open concept layout incorporates a high-quality chef’s kitchen, as well a three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, all populated by enthralling contemporary furnishings. For your next Instagram post or a classic photoshoot, few backdrops can compete with the thoughtful modern design — everywhere you look, there are unique and appealing touches that will add character and taste to any photo. 

2. Sky lounge with incredible views

One of our favorite locations for photoshoot inspiration in Dallas, this “sky lounge” offers roughly 360-degree views of the Dallas and Fort Worth area. Just take a look at the listing photos: thanks to the views out of this venue’s expansive row of windows, even the simplest photos are incredible to behold. Combined with the ultra-modern (even futuristic) design of the interiors and furniture, it’ll make you feel at least a little bit like you’re perched high above the city in a spaceship, which we love for a photoshoot. Add a photographers’ shrewd and thoughtful eye, and you’ll end up with some seriously eye-catching and memorable photos. 

3. Lovely production art gallery located in the Design District

What’s more inspiring for a photoshoot than a beautifully designed space that also happens to be absolutely brimming with a vast array of diverse art? This eclectic art gallery has that in spades, and more. The space itself is divided into three central sections, measuring 1700 square feet in total. Walking through this gallery, you’ll find it can’t be beat when it comes to photoshoot inspiration in Dallas. As one reviewer commented, “The space is even more beautiful and diverse than the pictures,” along with being “reasonably-priced” and “super interesting.”

4. Mid-century ranch home

There’s a reason mid-century design is featured all over Instagram and in the online design sphere more generally! It’s unique and exciting while still having broad appeal. We think this lovely home, located on Ash Creek in the Eastwood Hills area of Dallas, would serve as especially perfect inspiration for an Instagram photoshoot. Among other attractive features, the space offers a vaulted ceiling, a large fireplace, oak hardwood floors, and huge picture windows looking out on the verdant backyard as well as Ash Creek’s riparian forest. If you’d like to take photos outside, the large stone patio situated above the creek is an unbeatable location with great light.

5. Large studio with raised ceiling and separate lounge

We absolutely love this warm, authentic loft conversion. The unbelievable and totally unique ceiling alone creates an enormous amount of character that makes this a top-notch space for photoshoot inspiration in Dallas. The intricate geometry created by the interlocking sections of light wood on the ceiling creates a perfect contrast with the vast expanse of hardwood flooring — just let this fabulous space, which is completely filled with tons of sunlight, inspire your next photoshoot!

The “Little House on Routh” is a fabulous 980-square-foot space conveniently situated in the heart of Uptown Dallas.
