before photos

Pre-transformation documentation images

Before photos are images showing a person, place, or object prior to some transformation—weight loss, home renovation, cosmetic surgery, or other dramatic change.

They exist to be compared with after photos, establishing a baseline that makes improvement visible: The before photos showed water damage throughout the basement.

The term usually appears in plural because transformations typically require multiple angles or examples.
