SHOOTING REAL ESTATE: LIGHTS ON OR OFF?

When it comes to real estate photography, there are a lot of things to consider to ensure that the property looks its best. One of the most important things to keep in mind is lighting. In fact, turning on the lights in a property before you shoot can make a big difference in the quality of your photos. Here are 5 reasons why you should turn on the lights at a property before you start your photo shoot. 

1. It makes the property look more inviting 

Turning on the lights in a property can make it look more inviting and welcoming, which is exactly what you want to convey in your photos. It can also help to highlight the best features of the property and make it look more appealing to potential buyers. 

2. It helps to create a warm and cozy atmosphere 

A well-lit property can create a warm and cozy atmosphere, which is exactly what buyers are looking for in a home. By turning on the lights, you can create a comfortable and inviting space that buyers will be drawn to.

3. It helps to showcase the property's features 

Turning on the lights can help to showcase the property's features, such as unique lighting fixtures or architectural details. It can also help to highlight the layout of the space and make it easier for buyers to envision themselves living there.

4. It can make the property look bigger 

Good lighting can make a space look bigger and more open, which is a huge selling point for buyers. By turning on the lights, you can create a spacious and airy feel that will make the property more appealing.

5. It can help to create a consistent look and feel  

By turning on all the lights in the property, you can create a consistent look and feel throughout the space. This can help to create a cohesive and polished look in your photos, which will make the property more attractive to potential buyers. 


Turning on the lights in a property before you shoot is a simple yet effective way to improve the quality of your real estate photos. So, the next time you're shooting a property, be sure to turn on the lights and see the difference it can make!
