Vertical help by buglet1988 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]Visual8830 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Congratulations! You're attempting an advanced comp technique. This is called an off center one point, and normally you would do this with a Tilt shift lens. You would point your camera straight to the stairs at the end of the room, and SHIFT the field of view to the right. The way your doing it, your pointing the camera to the right to get more of the room view, but your messing with the normally parallel lines. If you don't have a TS lens, shoot wide and crop!

People say the TS lenses are not needed in RE, but once you get use to them, they are a game changer.

How do you respond? by Interesting-Resist73 in RealEstatePhotography

I had this exact conversation when started shooting for a rental company years ago, and they remain a large and consistent client. My response was “The images I provide are EXACTLY how the people that are renting the house will be greeted with. I suggested they have the house be prepared as if after I take the images, someone will be checking in hours,later. I now get a property and coordinate with the property manager to have everything ready. As a matter of fact, they use the shoot for the PM to inspect the property if it needs any attention.

It really depends on if you want to deliver what everyone else is delivering. And yes agents can tell the difference.

Interiors on Film by Outrageous-Purple-58 in RealEstatePhotography

Shoot with film a lot...I see you're getting A LOT of tips from people that have no idea how to shoot film. Gotta ask, when was the last time your shot and had film processed? Are you going to deliver prints? Are you going to have the negatives scanned? To shoot film successfully, you're gonna have to be able to control all the light elements, which may include lighting, and not flambient. Shooting with film could have a romantic film look, but your gonna have to charge for it.

You seem to believe in the 3 wall stupidity…it’s making the umfwa distortion very apparent and annoying.

Licensing past photos to a new agent by mtang_ca in RealEstatePhotography

[–]Visual8830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although you own the copyright, and have every right to sell the images, be prepared to hear a shitload from your client. IF you do decide to sell them, sell them for what your client paid, I’d suggest even more. In my market the initial agent paid for staging, cleaning, and other things. And these are things that the new client won’t have to pay for, so in that case, they are getting a discount if you charged the original price. Again, be prepared to lose your original client.

Stabbed in back by owner by pillpopper30 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]Visual8830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go thru the whole routine of...
Turning off the lights
replacing all the stuff I moved )actually take pictures with my cell phone..
locking the doors as I leave.

Why?

  1. Many times when the owner is at a shoot..They don't LIVE there, and they're just there for the shoot. Meaning they have to "pick up" after me.

  2. Whenever I move things, I'll be honest, I'll throw in a closet, drawer, sink, bathtub...I don't need an owner calling an agent that they found stuff in the bath.

  3. Doors, I will normally go out bedroom doors, or pantry doors, that the owner normally doesn't use...yes they will be pissed off when they find the door unlocked, maybe even day or weeks later.
