So you have a home for sale . . . you might be an agent, or you might be the homeowner – but chances are you’ve found this post by searching for more information about Real Estate Photography! The team here has been photographing Real Estate properties since 2002 and we’ve learned leaps and bounds about how to better showcase your property over the years.

A Premium Nightshot Example

As you probably already know, most potential home-buyers begin their search online – sites like Realtor.com, Homes.com, Realtracs.com have all become the primary sources of real estate leads in this modern internet age.  This brings me to the overwhelming question, Why on earth would an agent list a home online with only 2-3 poor quality photos!? I just can’t seem to figure out why more emphasis is not placed on photography and internet presentation.  I feel SO strongly about this that I’ve considered getting into the real estate business STRICTLY because I know I would do more than the average agent when it comes to properly presenting a property!

A Professionally Shot Living Room - Using 2 Strobes

Many agents go out and spend $300-$500 on a camera that they THINK will make them better photographers – and while camera choice is important, please, PLEASE understand that the difficulty of photographing homes and gardens etc is the LIGHTING SITUATIONS – our new cameras are only SO smart and they also only have ONE little teeny-tiny flash!! Can you expect that little flash to properly illuminate a GIANT living room all by itself?? I thought not.

When we shoot Real Estate – we come prepared with up to FOUR large 1600 watt strobes to illuminate the darkest and largest spaces – our Wide-Angle lenses help us maximize available space and our PANORAMIC spins give the viewer a feel for the FLOW and SPACE.
