Style scenes to add warmth and feeling.
5+1 Steps to Impressive Real Estate Photography
01.Equipment and Camera Settings
The great thing about interior photography is that you don't have to deal with movement.
So long as you have good light, you can take your time and experiment to get the best results.
Professional photographers often use specialised lenses, but these don't have to be expensive. And you can get similar results with a little bit of processing.
We touch on all of this and more in this section of the ebook, including advanced HDR techniques.
With a little bit of technical know-how and some basic gear, you can capture properties at their best…
02.Adjust to Changing Weather and Light
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." ― Benjamin Franklin
Most people don't realise this, but for exceptional property photography, you have to have a plan.
Whether you're shooting rooms with natural window light or capturing a patio at dusk…
You have to know what a property will look like at different times of the day and in different weather.
However, even with meticulous planning, you'll face changes as the time passes during the shooting.
This can be a problem when trying to capture consistent images of the whole property, but it's something we cover in great detail.
03.Setting the Scene and Composition
When photographing real estate, you have complete control over the scene.
And this is where you can start to add true value. You can:
- Move the furniture to create better balance or flow
- Add props like a bouquet of flowers or soft cushions
- Set the scene with a glass of chilled wine
If you use the simple tips that Giovanni lays out in the ebook, you can transform a house into a home.
04.Dedicated Room Guides
Different rooms have different functions and styles… And you should be style and shoot them accordingly.
You wouldn't shoot a living room the same way you'd shoot a kid's bedroom.
In "Picture Perfect Properties" you'll find several examples of how to take great pictures of specific rooms.
From living rooms and studies to kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
05.Editing to Perfection
Outstanding real estate photography requires pictures with crisp details, vivid colours and perfect contrast.
With the help of editing software, you can easily transform your photos with a few clicks of a button.
Giovanni goes into detail on how to get life-like colours, hide imperfections, or even replace the whole sky above a property.
All the most important editing tweaks are included in "Picture Perfect Properties".
