Want valuable insights designed to elevate your photography prowess and ensure your images shine amidst the competition? Dive into this blog for 10 expert tips on effortlessly capturing compelling real estate photos. 

1. Take Photos Using HDR Bracketing 

HDR Bracketing involves taking multiple exposures of the same scene and blending them into a single image during editing. It ensures the entire image is balanced and every detail is visible. Not sure how to bracket your photos? Don't worry, apps like SnapSnapSnap can automate the process for you. 


2. Harness the Power of Aerial Photos 

Aerial views provide a unique perspective and showcase the property's surroundings, such as nearby amenities and lot size. 

3. Turn All Lights On 

Turn on all lights including ceiling lights and lamps, to brighten up your shots. Lighting plays a crucial role in highlighting the property's features and creating an inviting atmosphere. 

4. Embrace Virtual Tours 

Virtual tours offer potential buyers an immersive experience, allowing them to explore the property from the comfort of their own home. Utilize a 360° camera to capture the photos for an engaging virtual tour. 

5. Open All Doors for Welcoming Shots 

Open all doors to create a sense of space and flow in your photos. 

6. Include a Floor Plan 

Buyers value the visual layout of a property, so ensure your listing includes a professional Floor Plan to provide a comprehensive view of the space. 

7. Enhance Your Hero Image 

Make every buyer or renter’s first impression of your property count by capturing a stunning dusk shot that grabs attention and entices them to explore further. 

8. Turn Off Ceiling Fans 

Turn off all ceiling fans before shooting to ensure the clarity and professionalism of your images. 

9 . Manage Sunlight in Exterior Shots 

When taking exterior shots facing the sun, cover the sun with your hand to prevent solar flares from appearing in your photo. Our expert editors will seamlessly edit your hand out of the shot with our Image Enhancement edit. 

10. Avoid Shooting Bulky Closets
