13 Creative Shower Photoshoot Ideas

Sometimes, only a shower will do as a site for a photoshoot. Maybe you’re taking pictures of a product, or a human model, or even a dog – and it just has to be in a shower. There’s only one problem with this vision – where on Earth are you going to find a shower to take these pictures? Sounds like you may need a few shower photoshoot ideas!

There are thousands of Peerspaces in hundreds of cities, so the chances are very good that you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for to realize your vision. Here are 13 examples.

1. Jungle shower

If your dream shower photoshoot idea involves the words “sexy” and/or “exotic,” this Los Angeles multiset studio is the place for you to book. The studio has lots of different sets within it, but one of the best has to be that jungle-themed shower. It’s essentially a shower stall, but significantly larger, with tropical foliage covering the walls. LED lights are available in the bathroom to add another aesthetic layer.

2. Natural foliage

Between Albany, NY and New York City, there is a lovely small town called Montgomery. And in Montgomery, there is a home listed on Peerspace, straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. This home has an outdoor pool, a pool house, and a small outdoor shower. The shower area is set up against gorgeous trees, which would make an outstanding backdrop for a shower photoshoot, especially in autumn when the leaves turn.

A brand founder who booked this home for a shoot shared the following Peerspace review. “The combination of available light and a well styled space made for an amazing combination as a photographer. Eduard was very accommodating and attentive and made using the space very easy and accessible. I would definitely recommend this space to anyone looking for a beautiful space for both photo and video use.”

3. Typical bathroom

Perhaps you’re shooting a shampoo advertisement or the like, and you simply need a quaint, all-American shower. This shower-clawfoot bathtub combo in a lovely Williamsburg, Brooklyn apartment, would fit the bill quite nicely. Its tactful white-and-blue wall tile background would complement most any product, and you could gussy it up if you want a more creative style.

4. Desert stone

Looking for a more organic creative shower photoshoot? This well-appointed Phoenix home has stylish stone walk-in showers with glass doors that could be perfect for your pictures, whether they be artistic or commercial. The colors are classy desert browns and beiges, the perfect neutrals to accentuate your subject.

5. Minimalist in Atlanta

This Atlanta bungalow features a drop-dead gorgeous tub and shower combination. Think expensive white marble with brass fixtures situated in a bathroom that is spacious enough for a photographer with extensive gear. It’s just off the Atlanta Beltline so it’s easy to reach, and as a bonus, there are three excellent breweries nearby should you or your models get thirsty.

6. Black and white abstraction

This Houston home has incredible design elements, not the least of which can be found in the bathrooms. If you envision your creative shower photoshoot taking place against an abstract, black-and-white graphic background, this would be the ideal Peerspace for you to rent.

7. Shower stall in San Francisco

The Haberdashery House has hosted a wide range of events, including photoshoots. It’s an amazing space. While simple, the shower that you could use is very clean, with a square black tile floor, crisp white and glass walls, and a window overlooking Pacific Heights. It’s the lighting that sets this simple shower aside – when the sun’s out, it pours into the bathroom and sets it aglow.

Just check out what a Peerspace reviewer shared after booking time here: “The space was perfect for our photoshoot! Our host, Grant, was so helpful and accommodating throughout our time there. Would definitely recommend his space!”

8. A classic Hollywood home

This sweet Hollywood home has a contemporary, dark-toned bathroom that can make for an incredible steamy shower shoot. The gray color palette photographs beautifully, plus the elevated shower platform can make for fun posing ideas. Just a couple of feet away from the show stall is a pristine white bathtub, so you can shoot in two different bathroom locales if you wish.

And thanks to the skylight, there can be plenty of natural light to enhance your images also.

9. A stylish Brentwood shower 

Be prepared to be floored by this stunning modern Brentwood mansion! Every room exudes luxury and great taste, and yes, that includes the shower in the master bath! Flanked by glass doors, it’s easy to take amazing photos from different angles. Plus, the bathroom also has a tub and a massive window to let in natural light. This is the kind of place that shower photoshoot ideas are made for!

A musician who booked this mansion for a shoot shares: “Samira was a great hostess! The house was beautiful and looks just like the photos. Super clean & neat. Would definitely recommend :)”

10. Sauna-like Miami shower

This fantastic Spanish-style Miami house has several stunning showers where you could do your photoshoot. A favorite is the sauna-like bathroom with a shower that requires stairs to enter. With white walls and birch-colored tiles, steam or a haze machine would render the shower area ethereal and otherworldly.

This home is so photogenic, it’s even been used for professional film shoots! As one Peerspace reviewer puts it: “Host was very responsive, the space was just as advertised and the location made for an excellent commercial video shoot.”

11. Minimalistic Portland house

Scandinavian in spirit, this Portland, Oregon home is minimally furnished, and yet quite soothing and comfortable. The bathroom with the shower where you could do your photoshoot is spacious enough and clean and bright. It is connected to a balcony, which lets ample light pour into the glass shower and surrounding bathroom area. There is no clutter to obstruct the focus of your photos.

In the words of a Peerspace reviewer: “Amazing house and really kind people who own it! Thanks for letting us use your dreamy home for a shoot.”

12. Classic Oakland craftsman

Looking to rent a spacious bathroom in Oakland for your creative shower photoshoot? This remodeled 1910 Craftsman house is an ideal option. The white shower subway tiles make a neutral but crisp background, allowing your subject to shine. And the room itself is super bright, potentially eliminating the need to lug around extra lighting equipment.

A brand owner who booked a fashion shoot here shared the following Peerspace review. “We have used Maria’s modern home 3 times now because we love it so much. It’s clean and uncluttered and allows our clothing to show front and center with modern home backgrounds. Perfect for us and they are great hosts. Thanks again!”

13. Pittsburgh Strip District shower

One of the artsier parts of Pittsburgh, aptly called the Strip District, is home to this modern rowhouse which features a fabulous all-white shower. The shower would be an excellent option for a photoshoot, because it is essentially a blank canvas where you can realize your creative ideas. You could bring in props, have a model dress in eye-catching colors, or set products down against the white background to make them pop.
