HOW TO SHOOT A PROPERTY USING YOUR PHONE (IN REAL TIME!)
Ever wondered if you really need a DSLR to take magazine-worthy property photos? Spoiler alert: you don’t. In our latest real-time shoot, professional photographer and co-founder Brad Filliponi walks you through exactly how to capture professional-quality property images using just your iPhone and our powerful camera app, SnapSnapSnap.
Whether you’re an agent looking to save time, a property manager capturing new listings, or a host trying to showcase your space online, this video is packed with practical tips — and proof — that your iPhone is more than capable.
Real-Time Shooting in the Rain? No Problem.
Even in less-than-ideal weather, using a tripod helps line up the perfect exterior shot. Multiple exposures—aka the “photo dance”—can be captured for professional editing and enhancement later.
From the Backyard to the Bathroom — Every Room Counts
Brad shares how to:
- Use a 0.5–0.6x wide-angle lens for interior spaces.
- Avoid shooting directly into wardrobes or mirrors.
- Capture staircases, air conditioning units, and other features buyers want to see.
- Highlight natural light and correct verticals — all of which are perfected in post-production/
Every photo captured with SnapSnapSnap is ready for transformation, and with our Image Enhancement edit, we balance lighting, remove reflections, and straighten lines to make your shots market-ready.
Small Spaces, Big Impact
Even tight areas like bathrooms get the pro treatment. Brad shares tricks for reducing distractions (like turning off unused power outlets!) and even if you end up in the mirror reflection, we’ll edit you out!
