Ready to take your real estate photography further? Follow these five expert tips to capture, enhance, and showcase every property at its best; no DSLR needed!
1. Nail Your Composition
- Stand Closer, Crop Distractions: For exteriors, move up to the footpath to avoid catching neighboring houses, bins, or other distracting elements within the frame.
- Avoid Cutting Off Key Architecture: Never crop off rooflines or pillars; be sure to reposition slightly to capture the home’s full depth.
2. Embrace Natural Light
- Open Blinds and Doors: In bedrooms and living areas, pull back curtains (or swing open French doors) to flood interiors with light and tease the outside view.
- Block the Sun, Not Your View: Shooting into the sun? Shade the lens with your hand —just over the sun itself — to eliminate flares, then use our Image Enhancement service to get you that winning shot!
3. Declutter for Impact
- Remove Stray Items: Mops, mats, garden ornaments and visible power poles distract from the property’s best features.
- Use Editing Magic to Declutter: If you can’t clear clutter on-site, upload your iPhone shots to BoxBrownie.com via SnapSnapSnap and tap into the Item Removal & Virtual Clean tool for a spotless finish.
4. Highlight Selling Points
- Frame the Feature: Whether it’s a spacious kitchen island, vaulted ceiling or lush backyard, step back (or forward) to let these spaces dominate the shot.
- Mind Your Angles: A slightly higher angle can showcase ceiling height, while a lower angle accentuates a room’s flow.
5. Streamline Your Workflow
- Shoot on Your iPhone using the SnapSnapSnap app.
- Upload Instantly to BoxBrownie.com.
- Select the Edits You Need, from Image Enhancement to Item Removal & Virtual Clean. We also offer Virtual Staging and Day to Dusk!
- Receive and Use Your Marketing-Ready Images within 24 to 48 hours.
Little Tweaks Make a Big Impact
By taking a few extra seconds to step around unwanted objects, angle the camera thoughtfully, and keep the scene tidy, you can dramatically enhance your property images.
Whether you’re a seasoned agent or just starting out, these tips can help you showcase properties in their best light and drive better results in your marketing.
