Producing Quality Real Estate Photography takes a team effort. Staging is crucial to getting those beautiful interior and exteriors! Below are a few things you may want to consider when getting ready for your photography shoot.
Time of Day for Your Photo Shoot
Often the entire shoot must be completed in 30 minutes or less. Based on this limiting factor, typically the best time of day for a realty photo shoot is between 10am and 2pm when the sun is at it's highest and the most natural light is available for the widest variety of shots.
Looking for a great main exterior shot of the front of the house? Consider doing this photo separately either in the morning or late afternoon to take advantage of natural sidelighting which can create depth and drama in an image.
Lighting the Room
Are drapes pulled back and blinds open? Lots of ambient light often helps to improve the overall quality of the picture. Typically, the more natural daylight in the room, the better your photographs will look. Sunrooms are a great example of this. The only exception to this rule occurs when you have intense morning or late afternoon sunlight streaming into the room through multiple windows or through one small window. It may be best to close or adjust the blinds for more diffuse interior lighting in these cases.
Each situation is different and photographers use different work methodologies, so it is best to discuss this particular instance with your photographer at the time of the shoot.
