How to Sell Your House: 5 Tips to Take the Best Photos
Updated: Apr. 04, 2021Thinking about selling your home? These easy-to-follow photography tips will give it the best presentation possible.
Opt for Natural Light
Before you take a picture, turn off all the lights. I pull up the shades, tie back the curtains, and shoot before four in the afternoon so that the sun isn’t too low. Natural light makes everything look crisper, brighter, and so much better.
Look With Your Lens
Take a trial photograph of each space you want to feature, and examine the image on the camera’s preview screen. (Would a vertical shot be better than a horizontal one? Are there any cords and wires poking out? Is there way too much clutter?) Critiquing photos on your camera may help you notice problems.
Take a Knee
Unless you’re about four foot five, you’re probably not photographing your space at an optimal angle. Take wider shots from a kneeling position to make the room look bigger (rather than getting a lot of floor or ceiling in the finished product).
