You\u2019ve probably heard the saying, \u201cA picture is worth a thousand words.\u201d<\/p>\n

It might sound like a cliche, but nowhere is this adage better illustrated than in the real estate industry. People respond better to visual content, which is an integral part of the AIDA marketing model<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stunning photos immediately catch potential clients\u2019 attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After viewing them, they become more interested in what you have to offer. Interest leads to desire, and finally, the action in the form of a commitment to rent or purchase.<\/p>\n

So how can you capture photos that immediately arrest the viewer\u2019s attention?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Real<\/p>\n

1. Invest in a tripod<\/h3>\n

For interior images, it\u2019s advisable to shoot in neutral perspective and keep the camera around waist height.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite many modern digital cameras having anti-shake features, you still run the risk of shooting some blurry images.<\/p>\n

A tripod prevents this by maintaining a stable height, which produces more professional shots.<\/p>\n

2. Use drones<\/h3>\n

Drones were barely known outside military circles a decade ago. Today, their explosive popularity has seen them being used in commercial and civilian photography.<\/p>\n

For real estate purposes, drones add a particular perspective that a human photographer never could.<\/p>\n

They can capture spectacular exterior photos from various heights and angles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clients are more likely to respond to such listings because they can see every nook and cranny of their potential new home.<\/p>\n

Drones also show a wholesome image of the listing. Clients can see precisely how driveways, swimming pools, trees, and lawns complement the house.<\/p>\n

They also capture the full neighborhood and show them some of the available amenities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to the past, when you had to hire a helicopter pilot to shoot aerial real estate photos, drone photography is remarkably affordable.<\/p>\n

3. Include props<\/h3>\n

Although the main aim is to showcase your listing, photographing a vacant house might make it look dull.<\/p>\n

Consider adding some furniture, books, and pets to give it a more homey feel.<\/strong> This gives potential buyers a practical idea of how their new home might look.<\/p>\n

Remember not to overdo the props to the point of taking attention from the rooms you\u2019re showcasing.<\/p>\n

4. Get the lighting right<\/h3>\n
\"HDR
HDR photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is probably the essential aspect of photography. Lighting can make all the difference between excellent and bland real estate photos.<\/p>\n

Natural lighting produces some great results. The best time to maximize its potential is between 10 am and 3 pm.<\/p>\n

Turning off interior lights gives rooms a more neutral look.<\/strong> You may use LED panels or reflectors to get rid of shadows.<\/p>\n

If you must showcase interior lights, edit the photos to lower their intensity and prevent them from taking center stage.<\/p>\n

For exterior shots, consider setting your camera to shoot in HDR mode<\/a>. For every snap, it takes three pictures in different light settings. Image editing software then highlights the best aspect of each photo and processes the most outstanding result.<\/p>\n

HDR is suitable for shots that entail contrasting lightings such as landscapes and sunlit locations. It\u2019s not ideal for photos that have moving objects because the results might be blurry.<\/p>\n

5. Consider different lenses<\/h3>\n

Real estate photos should generally showcase more of the rooms and make them look larger. Using different lenses allows you to capture various angles and details.<\/strong> A 35mm lens is capable of capturing wide perspectives without distorting shots.<\/p>\n

If you want genuinely high-quality real estate photos, you should invest in a full frame camera. It captures wider angles in higher quality than primary digital and smartphone cameras.<\/p>\n

6. Invest in editing software<\/h3>\n

\"Tricks<\/p>\n

Even the most talented photographers need to edit their images for one reason or the other.<\/p>\n

Using preset editing functions in Photoshop<\/a>, Lightroom<\/a> and other software can save you a lot of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you find this option hectic, numerous professional editors can tweak your already awesome photos into stunning works of real estate art.<\/p>\n

7. Incorporate SEO<\/h3>\n

You\u2019re probably wondering what search engine optimization<\/a> has to do with real estate photos.<\/p>\n

Given how competitive the industry is, SEO gives you a much-needed advantage.<\/strong> It makes it easier for search engines to find your listings by scrutinizing your photo details.<\/p>\n

Save photos with helpful information.<\/p>\n

For example, you could change \u201cDSC9876.jpg\u201d to \u201c5bedvillaLA.jpg\u201d.<\/p>\n

That way, search engines are more likely to find it when someone looks for information on five-bedroom villas in Los Angeles. Add captions to photos, and image alt text to further explain what they\u2019re showcasing.<\/p>\n

Make sure the context is always correct. When describing a bedroom, for example, the photo should always show a bedroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If fully optimized, these tips will make your listings the most popular for certain real estate-related keywords.<\/p>\n

8. Hire a professional<\/h3>\n

\"real<\/p>\n

As a real estate agent, you might lack the skills required to shoot your high-quality photos.<\/p>\n

This is a great time to hire a professional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The results are likely to be much better than those taken using smartphone cameras.<\/p>\n

While a pro takes care of the photography, you can concentrate on your core business of marketing your listings.<\/strong><\/p>\n
