As a estate agent I am sure you realize that now, more than ever, high quality photography is the first introduction (and sometimes the only introduction) to a potential client of property for sale.
In such a competitive market place, getting the right photographer to create images that showcase the property at its absolute best can be difficult at times. There are far too many “run and gun” or HDR (a blend of images in a software program that often result in a cartoon effect) photographers out there whom prefer to produce passable results over actual quality imagery. I prefer to spend an extra couple of minutes getting the images just right & I find the more and more estate agents are accommodating as the final results are pleasing to the eye.
As the say, a picture is worth a thousand words. This is so true in the case of sales. A real estate image needs to have proper angles, color, lighting, lens, ect to create an image, were the buyer can visualize themselves actually living in the property. This visualization is the key to the sale.
Poorly taken images are often bypassed by the potential client & a sales opportunity is lost. There are some estate agents whom prefer to take their own images, but find themselves loosing out due to how competitive the market is at the moment.
As a professional real estate photographer, I am always mind full of who I represent. First and foremost I represent you, the estate agent. It’s my job to create high quality images that drive sales & I do this thru my extensive knowledge of my lighting and camera gear as well as Lightroom/photoshop skills.
