Tips for Shooting Empty Rooms: 

  • Place your phone on the tripod at eye level for the best angle. 
  • Use a zoom level of .6x, or .5x for smaller rooms or tight spaces. 
  • Capture the entire room, combining areas like the kitchen, dining, and living rooms if they're open concept. 
  • When photographing bedrooms, shoot from the doorway for the most appealing view.
