Real
Estate Matters with Tim Bro
Tips for
the Perfect Photo Shoot!
1. It is
important to make sure that all areas to be photographed are camera ready
before the Photographer arrives. Photographers are not responsible for tidying
areas that are to be photographed. They are responsible for taking the best
photos that the house has to offer.
2. For
indoor living areas that will be photographed, make sure that the rooms are
clean and free of extraneous objects. Turn on as many interior lights as
possible to brighten and warm up the room; if there is a dark area in a room,
try to add temporary lighting. Natural lighting is always a plus!
·
Bedrooms - Beds are made, pillows fluffed.
Nightstands, dressers and vanities should have minimum items visible. Walk in
closets should appear organized and tidy. For kids rooms, toys and clutter
should be put away. If there are mirrored closets or walls, be especially aware
of the mirrors and what they are reflecting.
·
Living rooms – Surfaces should be dust free,
carpets vacuumed, and pillows arranged. If there are televisions in the room,
turn them on.
·
Kitchens – Minimize small kitchen appliances
along with cleaners, paper towels and wipe down all counters and all
appliances. The shinier the appliance, the better it will appear in the photo.
·
Bathrooms – Clean shower glass, towels neatly
folded and simple as possible. Remove toiletries from view.
3. For
outside areas, make sure to clean and straighten-up. When capturing solid
exterior shots, take advantage of the hours with the best lighting.
·
Remove cars from the driveway for a clear shot
of the house.
·
Present pool areas in the best light –
straighten deck chairs, remove towels and pool accessories.
·
Open patio umbrellas; remove covers on the BBQ
and patio furniture.
·
Clear gardens of leaves and weeds.
