Liked all of your advise until I got to #9. Be sure that the elimination of objects does not turn into misrepresentation. Putting blue sky in place of a billboard or eliminating power lines or poles that will still be there will get you into a lot of trouble. Using software to restore the true color of the walls or to correct barrel distortion caused by wide angle lenses etc. is fine.

These are really basic obvious tips on this site. I’ve been looking for really good tips on photographing homes, and the best site I’ve come across so far is from iMediaTours website. They have a really nice visual comparison, and a good sence of humor to add to it. and the pictures they use are really good, and they teach you how to get professional quality photos. And they simplify everything.
Does anybody know of any other good sites like iMediaTours?
tell me what you guys think…

Good comprehensive tips for photos. I would add to the exterior tips – use a polarizing filter. SLRs and some advanced zoom camera accept them, if not then just hold one up in front of the lense. Really helps the pool shots and the sky come alive.

I’m looking into doing some video intros to my property sites. Do you have any thoughts on interior lighting for video? I’m getting a lav mic for my DV camcorder to even out the sound.

I use a wide angle lens too. It really helps capture the whole room but can distort the corners of the photograph.

You know what’s funny guys? Before I scrolled down, I thought immediately of saying “great post! Athol is a fantastic source of the flipside of how NOT to photograph with his “Bad MLS Photos” series”… he was too modest to do so, so I will suggest everyone check reagentinct.com out!

This really is a great article- your attention to detail in WRITING proves your very point to pay attention to details! My favorite tip is #4- we do this for our photography when we do it in-house and it makes an amazing difference, especially in these warmer climates! Thank you so much for this post- it will be sent to all of the firm’s agents

Other tips;

Take dozens of photos. You’ll be surprised how many you take are not the greatest and then suddenly frontal shot attempt #7 looks “wow”.

Wide angle lens gets more of the room in.

Great list though!
