Description
The majority of amateur photographers are able to take reasonable photos. When shooting a landscape or portrait, they often come out just fine. This is fun when capturing candid shots at a friend’s BBQ or a sporting event.
However, if you want professional photos, hire a professional.
This includes a photographer who understands how line, shape, form, texture, pattern, color, and space form the image.
Surprisingly, the most important step in capturing real estate is post-production. This means the techniques are applied after the image is captured. Here are some of the enhancements possible to make to an original still photo.
This package is focused on enhancing existing pictures. If you had a set of real estate pictures taken—they might be live on your listing—ensure they are optimized.
This service was started as a result of my own experience. I was selling a property and had what I thought was a professional photographer take pictures.
However, I realized they were not optimized once the listing was active. Specifically, the rooms were darker than in person, and there also was almost a masking muting of the real colors.
I optimized the 25 images and mentioned what I did to a friend. My friend, who is also selling a property, said his pictures were optimized. I downloaded one picture and showed him the difference. He was amazed at the difference. This is how this service was born!
