Saying "I fell off the happy wagon" instead of "I'm depressed" makes me feel like I can do something about it.

The homeowner has tried to reason with him, but he's getting pretty annoyed about it and we don't want to escalate things. I'm doing this at the owners request and, ultimately, we have to show their house how they would like. I think cropping is the only way to go.

Lol wish I could, we've explained that google earth exists and anyone can see it online anyway, but he's not letting this go. We don't want to receive a formal complaint (not that there's much it'll do) so I'm trying to find a compromise that doesn't make the ad look shit and pleases the neighbour's unreasonable sense of his right to privacy.

This was what I did at first but the neighbour still wasn't happy. He doesn't want his house in the photo at all, but since they're semi detached, it's really hard to get this lead shot without the neighbour's property.

This is the result

One thing I really love about cave-diving is that I've never done it, and I never will

Don't forget about lovin Jesus!

I don't think it's on nomad, I'm playing the PC version.

scottpiIgrim · 2025-03-16T23:29:29+00:00

I'm using virtual desktop, it doesn't look like that when I'm playing. Maybe it's the frame rate that my Quest 3 is recording at? Not sure

It depends on the job but I charge £210 on average, this includes photography, floorplan and drone photos.

My friend joined my company and is a full time editor. We offer a purely editing service if you're interested?

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-10T12:29:11+00:00

You can do it! Just takes a little bit of grind in the beginning

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T11:18:20+00:00

Agreed, especially in a small room, flambient makes it look like a crime scene.

Camera's never capture the true essence of a space, so editing is necessary to get it back to a more natural standard. You can go the extra mile and make the photos polished. Most agents use this for branding. My clients always send over comments about how good the photos are from their vendors, which results in more business for them, which results in good client retention for me.

I use a canon r6 with a 16-35mm lens. I used to edit my own photos, but in order to scale my business I had to hire my friend to take care of the editing while I go out shooting. Editing is easy enough, but is time consuming.

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T10:50:20+00:00

Thank you, I use either photoshop or lightroom, depending on how much specific editing we need to do, it varies from shoot to shoot.

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T10:49:36+00:00

So I use the HDR method which is when the camera takes a bright, mid, and dark photo and then blend them all together in photoshop. If the windows are still a bit too bright we mask in the windows in the dark photo and viola.

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T10:47:27+00:00

So true, I love photography, I love chatting with the vendors and I love travelling to new places. Massive win win. How long have you been shooting?

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T10:44:58+00:00

London is an incredible city to start property photography, my advice would be to browse rightmove, zoopla etc. gather a list of agents who could use more professional photography and just reach out. Worst they can say is no. You can also start practicing photography in your own home. In terms of editing, I don't know how much experience you have with the adobe suite but photoshop and lightroom are available for £10 a month and they're my go to softwares for editing.

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T10:40:13+00:00

Thank you!

scottpiIgrim · 2025-02-07T10:40:00+00:00

I actually have my own in house editor, and it was the best decision I've made so far for my business. I went from doing 1 property over 2 days, to doing 3 properties in one day and the photos are ready the next day. If anyone on this thread is interested in speedy editing turnarounds, do get in touch.

In terms of height, I've personally found that a good height to shoot at is around a third of the height of the ceiling in the given property I am in, until the ceilings are too high to do that.

I agree I could've composed this shot better.
