If you're a real estate agent, chances are you've got your eye on taking some photos of a listing. It's worth remembering that the average buyer will visit hundreds of properties before choosing which one they'll buy. If your photos don't appeal to them (or their friends), they probably won't consider viewing them in person. This means that anyone looking at your photos needs to be convinced that this property is special—and that can only happen if you take the time to make them look great! Here are 12 tips for making sure each shot gets noticed:
Use a tripod, a tripod is a must.
A tripod will help you take steady shots, ensure your camera is level, and avoid camera shaking. It also helps with getting the right exposure by keeping it steady while shooting at night or in low-light situations.
If you’re planning to take long exposures, you may want a tripod with an integrated intervalometer. This will allow you to program the camera for a series of images that can be shot in succession without having to touch the camera again until all are taken.
Focus on the details.
When you're shooting, focus on the details. A big part of real estate photography is making sure that each room looks its best and conveys a sense of what it would be like to live there. You can do this by making sure that every picture is filled with interesting objects, colors, and patterns that make the space unique.
If you want to capture these details effectively, use the right lens for each situation: wide-angle lenses are great for capturing large areas (like an entire room) in one shot; telephoto lenses let you zoom in close enough so that even small details are visible; macro lenses help you get up close and personal with tiny items like flowers or jewelry pieces; fisheye lenses distort perspective when used correctly--they're great for giving rooms an exaggerated sense of depth!
Get creative with angles.
Get creative with angles. You can use a wide-angle, fish eye, or macro lens to get different perspectives on your subject. Try different angles and see what works best for each shot--it's all about experimentation!
If you're shooting a group of people, try different angles to see what works best. Try high angles and low angles, or even use the rule of thirds to find interesting ways to frame your shot.
Keep it simple.
The most important thing to remember when you're photographing a property is to keep it simple. Your photos should capture the essence of your subject, not distract from it with extraneous details or busy backgrounds.
Here are some tips for creating a clean background:
Use a plain white or gray backdrop instead of wood paneling or brick walls--they'll add unnecessary visual noise to your image and make it harder for viewers' eyes to focus on what matters most: the home itself!
Avoid busy patterns (stripes, polka dots) that could draw attention away from where they should go: top-quality photography showing off every detail of this beautiful property!
Pay attention to the light.
Use natural light whenever possible and artificial light when you need it. Natural light is always the best option, but if you're shooting in an area that doesn't have much of it, or if your home happens to be located on a block with tall trees that block out the sun, then an artificial alternative can help create an even tone throughout your space.
Think about what kind of lighting situation you want before choosing which type of bulb or lamp to use--soft versus hard light will affect how things look in photos! Soft lighting works well at showcasing portraits because it makes everything look nice and smooth; hard lighting serves better when highlighting architectural details like moldings or wood floors (and could also serve as good camouflage if there are any imperfections).
Be consistent.
In order to achieve a consistent look, you must be consistent. The same lighting, background and angle should be used for each photo. The focal length should also be the same so that your images aren't cropped differently from one another. Finally, white balance and camera settings should remain constant across all of your images so they have similar color tones throughout the collection.
Add interest and depth with shadows.
Shadows are a great way to add depth, interest, and perspective to a photograph. Shadows can be used to make a photo more interesting by creating a sense of scale or perspective. Using shadows will help you create an image that is more visually appealing than if you didn't have any shadows!
Shadows can be used to create a sense of depth in your photo. An object with a shadow will look like it is farther away from the camera than an object without shadows. The longer the shadow, the further away things are from you!
Discover your own style.
The most important thing to remember is that you are the photographer, and you can do whatever you want. There are no rules or guidelines when it comes to photography; it's all about finding your own style and making sure that every single photo reflects who you are as a person.
You might be tempted to just take one type of picture over and over again (like landscape shots), but this will make your portfolio boring very quickly! Instead, try experimenting with different angles, lighting styles, and backgrounds--there are endless possibilities for creating unique photos with each shoot. You could even try using different perspectives in each shot if you want something really eye-catching!
Take control of the scene in your photo shoot, wherever possible, to make your pictures better than everybody else's!
There are a lot of things you can do to make your real estate photography stand out from the pack. One way is to take control of the scene in your photo shoot, wherever possible, to make your pictures better than everybody else's!
Here are some ideas for how:
Be creative with the scene - Use natural light to create shadows and highlights that add depth and interest. If you're shooting outside during daylight hours (which I recommend), then consider where shadows will fall on various parts of a building or landscape feature before taking photos so that they enhance rather than detract from the scene(s).
Take advantage of natural light - Natural light creates moods based on its quality (brightness) and directionality (angle). For example, the bright morning sun creates warmth; the harsh midday sun creates brightness; late afternoon evening creates ambiance; early morning fog can add mystery/romance...
You're not just selling houses; you're selling an experience that people can imagine living in themselves--which means they need to see every detail possible! Make sure each room looks well-kept and clean by focusing on cleaning up clutter before taking photos (or even after). Similarly, pay attention to small details like paint colors or wallpaper patterns so that buyers know exactly what they would get if they bought this home themselves (and maybe even give them some ideas). Your clients will thank us later...
Conclusion
As you can see, there are many ways to improve your real estate photography. The key is to keep experimenting and trying new things until you find what works best for you and your clients. Ultimately, it's about creating an image that will stand out from the crowd and attract potential buyers!
