A Tale of Two Angles

October 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Today’s real estate photography tip:  choose your angles carefully.  Shooting from the wrong direction will reduce the positive impact.  Here’s an example:

At this angle, buyers’ eyes are forced to see a white lamp, a horse blanket, security bars, a very blue wall, and a large TV.  These are not the best selling features of the room.

At this angle, the view is much improved.  Here, buyers can easily see the fireplace, the nice wood laminate flooring, and the large space of the room.  These are selling features that should be promoted, not personal items.

    Good Photo 101 lesson. But using that much of a wide-angle lens makes people think the room is much larger than it is. They will be disappointed when they see it in person.
    Just saying ..
