As a real estate photographer, it's my job to capture the best angles of a property to make it look as attractive as possible to potential buyers. In this video transcript, you can see me preparing a single-story, 1000 square foot home in Apache Junction for a photo shoot.
First, I assess the property and make necessary adjustments such as moving a trash can and paint buckets out of the way, and turning off fans and lights. These small adjustments can make a big difference in how the property looks in the photos.
As I move through the home, I take note of the home's features such as new countertops, a renovated porch, and a storage shed in the backyard. These are key selling points that I want to highlight in my photos.
When it comes time to take the photos, I start with a center shot of the house and move through each room, taking pictures from different angles to showcase the space. I also focus on highlighting some of the features, such as the new countertops, by getting close-up shots.
It's important to keep in mind the lighting and the surroundings when taking photos of a property. In this case, the harsh sunlight made it difficult to capture some angles, and there was a neighboring car in one shot that I had to work around. However, these are things that can be fixed in post-processing.
Overall, preparing and shooting a property for a photo shoot is all about attention to detail and showcasing the best features of the home. As a real estate photographer, it's my job to make the property look as attractive as possible to potential buyers, and I take pride in doing so.
