Property photography - why get professional photos done?

-

If you are selling your house, there are more and more ways to do it, either through a traditional estate agent, or an online agent websites.  However, people will always want to to see what the house looks like first, so they need something to  grab their attention and encourage them to look further.

Whichever way you market your property, you will want good images that are clear, bright and professional.  Buying a house is usually the most expensive purchase someone will ever make, so we need to make people keep from scrolling past.  Even the most beautiful of houses can be passed by if they have drab images, and vertigo-inducing "artistic" angles (usually pointing at the floor to "get everything in") make it look like the camera was just thrown into the room.  Have a look through Rightmove or Zoopla and you will see what I mean.  Time is very important to people, and quite often the quickest solution for people is to "put it on Auto" or even using a smartphone to take the photos. Modern smartphones are getting better all the time, but very often they can't cope with the contrasty lighting that an interior throws at it.

If you have a house to sell, insist on quality images.  Having your own images means you can shop around and use them where you want, be it with several agents, and you can have them done, and only having to prepare the house once!

If you are an agent and usually take them yourself, save some time and energy and I can do them for you, as well as floorplans and virtual tours if needed.

Here are some examples of properties I've recently done, with some photos of neighbouring houses that I found online as comparison.


That all-important front shot - looks nice and inviting.  Let's take a look!

This one has the wrong white balance set, so it looks cold, and is too dark.

Hallway - spacious and clean.

Stumbled into this one.

Lounge. Straight walls, bright and airy.

While is has a nice warm feel, overall it's too dark and needs some fill flash, plus the standard wonkiness.

Lovely bright kitchen.  You can see everything, and you can imagine spending time there.

Feels enclosed and dark

Nice-sized, clean and bright bathroom

Although this is obviously a challenging smaller room, the giant towel does no favours

Bedroom, nice, tidy and bright.

Way too dark and enclosed.

A lovely bright bedroom, nicely-presented and shown off accordingly

Too dark and too much going on.

Hopefully you can see the benefit of professional photos.  If you are selling your own home, it gives impact.  If you are an estate agent, you don't have the time to get the images the property deserves, so why not let someone else do a good job and you can get on with the other stuff?

Professional headshots

Actor headshot in the studio If you are a professional and need your "public" image to be a little better than a selfie that you got from your Facebook profile picture, step this way! With the studio setup we can do a number of different looks, depending on the session time. Actor headshot done in the studio in Hull Same actor, but with a different look, shot during the same session.   Actor headshot on white background And again, shot just outside the studio for a more industrial outdoor look. Headshot done outside the studio You may need a more serious headshot for your LinkedIn profile, or for your "meet the team" section of your company website, or perhaps something more dramatic if you are an actor needing to promote your portfolio.

Home boudoir photography in the Hull area

-
Image
  If you are wanting to arrange a boudoir photoshoot in Hull or the surrounding areas, instead of a shoot in the studio, you have the option of having it in your home. It gives a much different look and will give it more of a personal touch. It also means you have access to all of your stuff - all your outfits are close to hand and you are in familiar surroundings. As long as you have a decent amount of space and a relatively uncluttered room, we can make some beautiful photos without you leaving the house. Please get in touch so we can discuss suitability for a home photoshoot. Here are a few example images from a home shoot, using no more than light from the window and occasionally a small flashgun to fill the shadows. Most of the shoot was done in the window area or on the bed.

Model shoot with Natalja

-
Image
 Natalja came for her second photoshoot this week.  We had previously done some fashion-style photos at the studio, after abandoning an outdoor shoot due to the wintery weather, but this time we had discussed a few ideas based on some more sensual photos we had seen online. She brought a selection of quite fabulous lingerie and worked to implied nude (even though she wasn't quite!)   Although she said she had not modelled before, she had a great look and took direction when needed, but was happy to play around with her posing.  Here are some of my favourites.  If you want to arrange a shoot of your own in the Hull East Yorkshire, get in touch through my contact page .
