If you’re trying to maximize exposure of the Indian Wells real estate you’re trying to sell or attract buyers from the international real estate market, you’re probably already aware of the importance of photos. Many photos. Buyers like to see as much as possible of the property they’re interested in, and from a wide array of angles. While we’ve been covering aspects of real estate photography in previous blog posts, here are a few quick tips to help you take the best photos you can when you don’t have a lot of time to prepare.
Adjust your lighting schemes. Try to light the room as evenly as possible, so that you can avoid having areas that are too dark or too bright. When a room is evenly lit, more detail will show. Play around with different combinations to achieve the most even lighting concept—turn lights on or off, bring in lamps from other rooms, try opening or closing shades, and when necessary, use your flash.
Avoid fluorescent lighting as much as possible. Fluorescent lighting tends to cast an unflattering shade of green in photos.
Don’t fear a cloudy day. Overcast skies can be great for shooting interiors of your Indian Wells real estate —the windows will appear bright but not too bright.
Step away from the self-timer. When you use the self-timer on a camera, make sure to let go of the camera so you don’t jar it during exposure—the result will be a perfect steady pic.
Try different angles. Take photos from different angles, and not just from the sides. If you’re tall, you may want to take some photos sitting down or kneeling. Likewise, if you’re short, try standing on a chair or a staircase for some good overheads shots.
Clean up. Details stand out in photos, especially those related to housekeeping. It’s best to schedule your photo shoot directly after the house is cleaned. Go the extra mile by moving trash cans out of sight and straighten anything that looks messy or cluttered.
