Tricks For Taking Real Estate Photography FL Pros Have Used For Years

By Kenneth Thompson


You are going to have to post some great pictures of the house you have for sale if you want to get top dollar for it. The better those photographs are, the better the chances you'll be contacted by prospective buyers wanting to tour the home. To get those pictures, if you decide to do the job yourself, you'll need good equipment, a home that is spotless inside and out, pictures that interest potential purchasers, and strategies for creating real estate photography FL pros use all the time.

Using a wide angle lens and high dynamic range photography will make your photos pop and blow away the competition. A wide angle lens obviously gives you wider shots, but it also gives the pictures you take a lot more depth and detail that without it. High dynamic range photographs are multiple shots of the same subject using different levels of exposure. The multiple photos are then combined into one photo. This will maximize the color and give you detail like nothing else.

Houses look their best in natural light. You don't need professional flash equipment to take these photos, but you will need a tripod. If you try to take the picture without it, the image is going to be dark and blurred. With a tripod, you can slow the shutter speed, which will give you the natural light you want and a crisp image as well.

Your interior photos will be much more effective with furnishings. Pictures without furniture can't give potential purchasers any sense of scale or whether the rooms are bedrooms, living areas, or dining areas. Walls, ceilings, and floors are all they see.

Furnishings help you create a feel for the size of a room and what it's used for as well as adding light and shadow to the image. You don't want to make the mistake of over furnishing though. Once you have the basics in the photo, stop decorating.

Virtual tours have become the norm. Many of these are 3-D. Buyers like this feature because it gives them a chance to view the house in a way that was only possible by actually going to the house and physically walking through it. You should not miss the opportunity to post your virtual tour on all the social media sites where you have a presence. Not only is it free advertising, it exposes your home to a wide range of potential buyers.

Amateur photographers make a mistake when they post too many vertical photos. Human eyes are accustomed to viewing the world at a ratio of 4:3 and 9:16. Because of this horizontal pictures are easier for people to understand. They are also more attractive to the people looking at them. If you're using your cell phone to take photos, keep this in mind.

The focus of your pictures should be on the selling points. If your house is full of windows, coffered ceilings, and has an open floor plan for instance, that's what you want to emphasize in the photos. Features like a state of the art kitchen and inground pool will get your phone ringing.
