Real Estate Photography Procedures for Trainees

Here are some tips for you if you are just starting with your photography:

Be certain that you get the filter that had the appropriate size for that particular lens and be sure it is one circular polarizing filter. When you are not aware of how to shoot the real estate photography, it is recommended to not overlook to take the filters off or its filter blocks off about 50%-75% of the light.

The polarizing filters by Marumi, Hoya and BNH are both great. Although with the Hoya filters the colors seemed to be even more faithful.

Do not take photos of the interior of an area from the corner. Certain pictures appear very trivially. Try finding the unusual and more interesting angles. This is the very important matter with the real estate photography industry.
One example is you can shoot the room from the doorway. Therefore, you can capture the maximum total of space and then show the entire room. Also, don’t forget to give that thorough concentration to details. When you notice that there are distracting elements, like the pieces of furniture or picture, you can take them out from the frame in making the clear and laconic picture.

• Have a sand bag in your arsenal. It will guarantee your umbrella or the light stands will not spoil or fall down the clients’ floor or furniture.
• Always have those extra batteries inside your to-go bag. Let it just sit there, even when you are just using them only once a year or none at all in a year.
• Be cautious with the drone when using it to not break or fall. The FAA reported the top 2 uses of commercial usage of drones are the real estate (26 %) and aerial photography (34 %). There are so many no drone areas in the USA. You can install the FAA’s security application, which utilizes the GPS location in feeding you real-time information about the airspace restrictions and rules on flying.
• Have the step ladder which should be small and can be moved by just one hand. The normal weight of it must be 4.2 kg. It is occupying not much place. An example is that it may be placed in the tiny golf car. By situating elbows on the ladder, you may evade from the camera shaking.
• Ask the customer to clean their yard or room in advance. When you are shooting an interior photo, you have to bring with you a mini vacuum cleaner with a rag and detergent. However, in order to assist the procedure of photo retouching and in making some lighting effects and takes some cleaning devices and cloths in wiping the windows or removing the mud or defects from the furniture or the table.

Take note that the farther that you are placing an umbrella, the less glow will come with it. Remember about the bounce umbrella. It has always the lining, which may either be gold or silver.

The white lining can be the great decision. By altering the umbrella’s position, you may affect the control of the flash.
