Front Elevation Shots

Camera needs to be as high as possible (especially on 2 story/tall houses) to avoid keystone distortion.

  • Zoom in more so that the house takes up at least 75% of the photo. I used to zoom in so that the outside edges of the roof were almost touching the edges of frame. I’ve since zoomed out a bit more to give me room to fix any distortion. I typically give myself a couple options to work with. Sometimes yours are just too far away and/or not zoomed in enough.
  • If the sun is low the camera lens needs to be shaded with your hand to avoid excessive photoshopping.
  • Zooming in is key to get rid of weird distortions that are very hard (if not impossible) to fix in photoshop.
The over the table shots cause weird distortion. Move back as far as possible.
Be mindful of your reflection in windows, mirrors, refrigerators, stoves, etc.

Scoot back more often. Typically I’m not inbetween my camera and the wall. Typically the camera is up against the wall. I would probably swing my viewfinder out 3-5 times per house.
Use the space in door frames to get as far back as possible.
With some of these shots I also zoom in a bit. I’d say I zoom in on 80% of shots.

Too much doorknob. I feel there’s a little too much focus on doorknobs. Especially with bathroom shots. Doorknobs are ok but shouldn’t be a big focus unless they are glass doorknobs or something fancy.

You can never go wrong with shooting from the 4 corners of the main living space. Sometimes if I was having an off day or had trouble getting started it would help me to get going knowing that I had to get the 4 corners. 

Some of the table shots are too close to the tables causing a weird distortion making the tables look huge.

We’re not focused on the pieces of furniture so much. We want big grand shots of the rooms and then a couple supporting photos focused on specific areas in the room. Having the mindset of they are buying the house, not the items in it.

Shooting a corner can cause distortions that aren’t fixable. This is the case shooting the indside of a corner and the outside of a corner.

Back into closets and door jams to try to get entire bed in frame. Often have to lower camera to get low beds in frame and not look distorted.

Remove or hide items that are easy to move.

On up-close shots of door take one with lockbox up and one with lockbox down.
