Real Estate | Photography

A genre of photography I never thought I would fall into was real estate. It’s surprisingly a lot of fun! 

Alongside my portrait photography in 2020 I fell into real estate photography through a family friend. It is something I hope to do more of this year.

The aim of the images below is to advertise a newly refurbished house that was turned into a house share. If I hadn’t found my flat I might of moved in the rooms were stunning. Before I arrived another company “dressed” the home, I think that’s what it’s called please don’t quote me. They basically made the beds, decorated the bedrooms and sliced a loaf of bread. I loved walking round taking photos and seeing all the little details they had put together ready for me to do my thing.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, it was a completely new avenue for me but I quickly fell into the routine. As a natural light fan I was worried the images would come out dark or grainy but they turned out great. I have been spending a large portion of my life learning new editing techniques, the amount you can do on Photoshop never fails to amaze me. I’m still exploring the tip of the ice berg. 

I wanted to show you some of the images I took last year. I have only done a couple of real estate shoots due to the pandemic and it takes a while to refurbish a house, I’m not expert but it’s certainly more than a month.
