ProTips

Here are a handful of tips to help you take the best property photos:

Category Best Practice / Tip
Camera & Lens Use a full-frame digital camera instead of your phone.
Lens Selection Use a wide-angle lens to create a sense of space and openness.
Orientation Primarily shoot in landscape (horizontal) and not portrait (vertical) orientation.
Perspective Shoot at eye-level (or about 5 feet high) for a natural perspective.
Camera Leveling Keep the camera straight and level—not pointed up or down—to avoid curved lines and distortion.
Lighting & Stability Use a tripod and flash to ensure bright, sharp photos; bounce the flash off the ceiling to avoid harsh shadows.
Shot Planning Scout the location and create a list of shots you want to capture, both exterior and interior.
Time of Day Avoid harsh lighting and shadows by shooting early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Property Staging Ensure the property has been tidied and exterior obstructions have been removed.
Feature Highlights Highlight the property’s best features, such as a pool, new kitchen countertops, the fireplace, etc.
Shot Quantity Take more photos than you think you’ll need.
