Are you practicing with your camera so you can get some gorgeous photos of your Rancho Mirage real estate property yet? As we mentioned in our last blog post, good photos are critical to expanding your pool of prospective buyers from both the domestic and international real estate market. Hopefully, you’ve been figuring out good angles to highlight your home’s best features so you can get started soon if you haven’t already.
Here are a few tips for improving your photography skills so you can present your Rancho Mirage real estate in the best possible light.
1. Use your self-timer. The best way to shoot is with a tripod, so that you don’t ruin a great shot due to unsteady hands. Turn the timer on and take your hands off the camera so you don’t jar it.
2. Make adjustments. If you’re not using a tripod, you’ll need to adjust your position accordingly. If you’re tall and when you aim the camera straight it’s too high to get the entire room, then sit on a chair or get down on your knees and aim high. If you’re too short, stand on something. Either way, it’s ideal to shoot from different heights to get some variety in the mix. If you have a staircase, try shooting from different levels.
3. Take care of the details. Even the latest Smartphones have impeccable resolution, so all the nitty gritty details will show up clearly in digital photos. Make sure your house is sparkling clean and that you’ve fixed any little cracks in the paint or similar issues. Schedule your photo session right after spring cleaning or a visit from your housekeeper. Straighten up all your furniture, steam the curtains if they’re wrinkled and move all garbage cans out of sight.
