Property photography can make or break a sale. Whether you're an estate agent or a homeowner preparing to list a property, setting the right scene for your photos is crucial. Here are expert tips that will ensure your property shines in every shot.
1. Clean and Declutter
A clean space allows the property to look open and inviting. Before the photographer arrives, make sure to:
Clear off countertops, tables, and shelves.
Remove any personal items, such as family photos or excess decorations.
Tidy up outdoor areas, including mowing the lawn and trimming hedges.
2. Maximize Natural Light
Natural light makes a room feel warm, inviting, and spacious. Open all blinds and curtains to let in as much natural light as possible. If possible, schedule your shoot during daylight hours to take advantage of sunlight. If necessary, turn on lights in darker areas to ensure every corner looks bright.
3. Highlight Key Features
Every property has standout features, whether it’s a sleek kitchen, an expansive living room, or a cozy garden. Let your photographer know what areas should be highlighted. Focus on what makes the property unique, and we’ll make sure to capture it beautifully.
4. Pay Attention to Details
Sometimes, it’s the small things that make a big difference. Fluff pillows, straighten artwork, and adjust furniture to create clean lines and symmetry. The goal is to make each room look tidy and spacious.
5. Get Ready for the Shoot
Having the property in tip-top shape before the photographer arrives saves time and ensures we get the best shots. Double-check everything — from the floors to the countertops — to make sure it’s all set.
6. Ask for Professional Help
Professional property photography brings out the best in your space. If you’re not sure where to start, consider working with a professional photographer who knows how to light and frame every shot to perfection.
