3 THINGS I’VE LEARNED AS A REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHER

3 THINGS I’VE LEARNED AS A REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHER

Jan 10, 2022 |

Nearly two years ago, I started working as a real estate photographer here at Grand Showing. I had been practicing photography for about seven years prior to this, mainly doing it as a hobby until I shifted in February 2020 to providing real estate media and customer service to dozens of realtors, sellers, and businesses. Additionally, I started this job just before Covid-19 took hold in the U.S. and also during Spokane’s unprecedented housing boom that made it rank consistently in America’s...

This was a very fun home to photograph! One of my favorite qualities a home can have to make photos turn out well are large and numerous windows that provide lots of natural light, and this home fits the bill! I am especially proud of how the living room and kitchen turned out on this shoot. All of the photos in this space have a very soft look to them that still has enough contrast to make it pop. I turned off all the interior lights in this space as well, to reduce distractions and color...

One of our favorite shoots of the year, we photographed this home back in June, which was a great time of year to show this house and property! With a limit of 50 photos on the MLS, it can be tough to capture all of a property and home this size, so we have to highlight the most important parts. Oftentimes, laundry rooms, half-bathrooms, and garage photos are the first to get cut for interior photos. Most people’s biggest inside the home at the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom. These...

Homes located on the South Hill seem to make a disproportionate appearance in our portfolio, but it isn’t without good reason. Unlike some other areas around Spokane/Spokane Valley, a large part of the South Hill is filled with either old historic homes, or high end homes, which we both like to showcase. This home in particular is over a 110 years old! To see it up-kept well, with some modernized touches, while still keeping its character is something that I admire. This home was well prepared...

What’s one of your strongest preferences for a home? For me, I really want a home that gets a lot of natural light inside. I like numerous, large windows coupled with a bight colored interior that makes the home light up during the day. I find that the more sunlight I get to see during the day, the happier I am, and who doesn’t want to feel happy in their home? This new construction home we shot a few weeks ago met that preference for me. You can see how much natural light this home is getting...

We shot this beautiful home back in February in the Qualchan Hills neighborhood in Latah Valley, Spokane, WA, and it was a great experience to shoot! We scheduled the daytime photos and twilight photos back to back, so we wouldn’t have to make an extra trip back to the house, which also means we had to plan out and time this shoot carefully. Since we have so many home shoots under our belt at this point, we know fairly well how long a home is going to take to shoot before we go. Different real...

This was a lovely home we did on the South Hill of Spokane that we not only did daylight ground-level photos for, but also drone and twilight too! Real estate photography is a high-volume type of business for most photographers, meaning that we do lots of homes for lower prices, rather than a small number for high prices. However, I always enjoy shooting homes where I get to do add-ons (such as drone photos, twilight photos, video, 3D tour, etc.) because I get to spend more time on one home...

I shot this home earlier this year and it stood out to me because I really liked the living room, kitchen area, backyard, and I was also able to do a 3D tour of this home! 3D tours are our newest service we’ve added here at Grandshowing, I believe it’s an extremely valuable tool for selling a home. The more of a home or property you can display online, the more attention you’ll get from buyers, especially if it’s in a market that has a lot of people from out of town moving in, like Spokane. We...

Here’s a beautiful home we did photos, video and drone for a few weeks ago! What I liked about this home was how well staged it was. The realtor payed for it to be professionally staged, which as a photographer I always appreciate. While vacant homes are fine to photograph, a well staged home looks far better. It gives allows the viewer to envision themselves in the space, without being distracted by clutter or distracting items. We also got lucky and were able to shoot this home on a partly...
