Tips For Taking Real Estate Photography FL Professionals Have For Home Sellers

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.

Use a wide angle lens and HDR photography if you want to make pictures really pop and stand out from the competition. Wide angle lens obviously give you a wider shot, but they will also give your pictures more depth and details than would be possible otherwise. An HDR photograph is one taken of a subject at least three different times using a variety of exposure levels then meshed together to create one picture that maximizes the color and detail you could not get otherwise.

Houses are most appealing in natural light. It isn't necessary to go out and buy professional flash equipment, but a tripod is necessary. Pictures taken without them can come out blurry and dark. Using a tripod enables you to slow down the shutter speed. This lets you create pictures in natural light that are crisp and clear.

Interior pictures are much more effective when they include furnishings. Buyers can't get a sense of scale or what a room has actually been used for if it's empty. All they get are walls, ceilings, and floors.

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 are something buyers want to see. 3-D virtual tours are especially popular. This is the most effective way for potential purchasers to get an idea of what your home looks like without actually scheduling a personal walk through. You should definitely make use of social media. Posting your virtual tour on different social media is a great way to get free advertising and expose your home to a wide variety of potential buyers.

Not everyone realizes how important the difference between vertical and horizontal pictures are. The human eye does notice the difference though. Humans are more comfortable viewing things at a four to three, or sixteen to nine, ratio. That means that horizontal pictures are easier for the human eye to process. Remember this the next time you use your cell phone to take a photo.

Focus your pictures on the selling points in your home. If you have lots of light, architectural ceilings, or wide open rooms, be sure to emphasize those aspects of the house you're selling the in the photos you take. Amenities like pools, attached garages, and state of the art kitchens are features that bring the buyers in.
