Photography tips for Real estate Photography in Perth
Great and well-taken photography of your property that you have for sale has become just as important as presenting your house on show day in mint condition. Spend the few extra $ and get a professional photographer that do know what they are doing.
Keep in mind that in today’s modern times most potential buyers first shop online. Your estate photos will be the first impression a potential buyer will have of your house.
I remember when I started looking for our first property I Australia. I searched online all the real estate sites and viewed all their real estate photographers in Perth! I used most of the popular sites like REALESTATE. I shopped on my requirements, but was mostly influenced by what I saw in the property photographs that was online. The ones where the property photography was poorly done and the photographs looked badly, was some of the first once I crossed of my list and skipped. If the potential seller was not prepared to present his property stunningly in some real estate photographs, how was he looking after his property? Skimping on the maintenance of the house?
A few tips for better photographs you can keep in mind when you take this worthwhile investment:
Lesson 101: Make sure that you get the property photographs taken at the right time of the day. If you want your house to stand out, pick the time where your house will be well light by either natural sunlight or late afternoon early night. Make sure that the photographer uses good equipment. In this line of photography, you need any advantage you can get. Make sure the photos are good quality and “sharp” and not slightly blurred. At the risk of becoming boring and technical, the higher your F-Stop is set, the more details it will capture in its dept of field. Do not take your real estate photographs in midday. The sun in Perth will be too harsh for your property photographs. If you decide to photograph it yourself, ensure the house is well lit with natural or electric light. The more light you can capture the higher you can set your F-stop. If you decide to shoot at nighttimes, use a tripod and the timer on your camera. Even the slight push of the shutter button can cause the camera to shake and blur the photo.
Lesson 102: Tidy your home and keep it neat. Remove that toys that is laying in the middle of the room, pack away the dishes and clean the stoves glass. There are few things as bad as a stove with prints all over the front of it. Shoot your photos “clean”. Don’t have people standing around or a towel hanging skew in the bathroom. Take the clothes box out of the bathroom when you take the photos. Frame it correctly. Watch yourself for reflection in glass. No one wants to see the “ghostly image of the photographer in the sliding door or mirror. Watch your flash in mirrors and glass. You can shoot at an angle and you will not reflect. You can prevent some reflection shots by wearing preferably black, as it does not show up as easy in reflections.
Lesson 103: Your real estate pictures must impress potential clients! Show a huge range of photographs. Just not going to get the potential buyers lining up with just one or two photographs. Have pictures taken of the main futures interior and external. It might be worth investing in 20 professionally taken and professionally edited real estate photographs. We take more than 20 photos. We select the best images that we expect to assist you in selling your property.
Lesson 104: Invest the money. Yes, invest in a professional photographer that knows what he is doing. It will be worth it. Real estate photography sells your property faster. With digital photography that have become so accessible to all, there is a lot of people out there that think they can take photographs with their $500 camera (not knocking them, but our equipment we use is $20 000 to $25 000 to assist us in getting the most amazing real estate photographs that assist you in selling your property.)
