Tony Henrik Halttunen: Real estate photography can be a lucrative calling to someone who is looking to earn a few extra bucks on the side with their photography, or establish a full-time photography business of their own. While it is possible to earn an income with quality real estate photography, there’s a lot of competition out there. In order to be successful, you’re going to have to be able to take great photos.

2. IntroductionIntroduction
Contracting a photographer is
an overwhelming task. The
photos they take could choose
the number and bore of home
buyers who will study your
property. Keeping in mind the
end goal to isolate the experts
from the photographic trifler,
you'll have to familiarize
yourself with the accompanying
terms and procedures.

3. Wide Angle LensWide Angle Lens
Using a wide-angle lens is key
to photography for real estate
since these lens captures more
of a scene than a regular one.
With a wide-angle lens, the
real estate photographer is
able to stand closer to the
house without including
undesirable objects in the
closer view like utility poles or
shrubbery. Be sure that your
photographer uses this lens.

4. ElevationElevation
Make sure your real estate
photographer expands the
camera's elevation as these
photos dependably look
superior to anything shots
taken from the beginning.
Have them stand on your
vehicle, ladder or any other
apparatus that will securely
add tallness to your photos.

5. LimitLimit
Walk through your property with your prospective photographers to find
out how they mean to limit far-reaching carports, lanes and extensive
carports, all of which take away from the main selling point - the house.

6. Three-Quarter ShotsThree-Quarter Shots
When looking through the
photographers' portfolios, ensure
you see many three quarter shots
of homes. Pictures shot at a slight
angle to the front of the home are
normally much stronger than shots
taken straight on. On a related
note, real estate photographers
must not use ultra-wide-angle
lenses for front shots. Doing as
such will misrepresent the point of
view to a questionable level.

7. DaylightDaylight
Ask the photographer to shoot pictures of your property several times
during the day. You want to capture the morning, noon, and evening
sunlight to find out which ones best compliment your home.

8. Barrel DistortionBarrel Distortion
If your prospective real estate
photographer uses a digital camera,
be sure to ask him or her about
barrel distortion. This happens when
the wide-angle lens on a digital
camera produces curved or skewed
edges in the picture. Lines that you'd
hope to seem opposite are most
certainly not.
Barrel distortion happens regularly
when photographers take wide-angle
shots of angular buildings, doors and
edges of walls. A good photographer
will know how to avoid making this
costly mistake.

9. Numbers and PerspectivesNumbers and Perspectives
Ask your real estate photographer to shoot as many home entrances
and perspectives as possible. For example, shoot the view from the
inside, the side garden, the fishpond, and the potting shed all from a
high angled view.

10. Jaggies
Finally, ask your real estate
photographer about the
jaggies, which happen when
lines of a building separate
from a background, such as a
roofline against a clear sky.
Reducing the size of the
image and using the anti-
aliasing tool on a good photo-
editor will usually make the
jaggies disappear.

11. ConclusionConclusion
And remember, photos of a property can represent the deciding
moment your prosperity. Make sure the money you invest in real
estate photography gets your property the interest, traffic, and deal
you need and deserve.
