Here is an article from the Boston Globe called \u201cAdvice on taking knockout real estate photos from a Pulitzer-winning photographer<\/a>\u201c, and there are some interesting points about how to shoot real estate. The piece is written by Stan Grossfeld, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer who shoots photojournalism. Stan has done a lot of terrific work, and should be commended for his contribution.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the bit I want to focus on, Stan writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause in America, everyone who has a cellphone thinks they are a professional photographer.<\/p>\n

They are not.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s true, most homeowners and real estate agents are not professional photographers, despite what they might think about their photos. Stan Grossfeld included some samples of real estate photos he\u2019d taken inside a home for sale in Quincy<\/a>, and unfortunately they are not very good. I mean, seriously, they’re not good at all.<\/p>\n

The images are taken at a bad angle, the verticals and windows are converging on each other, they’re poorly lit, and surprisingly disappointing.<\/p>\n

This does not in any way take away from the brilliant work Stan Grossfeld does when shooting areas hit by war, or famine-affected children in Ethiopia<\/a>. His images are full of emotion and he does a fine job as a photojournalist. I could not hope to do as well as he does in that area of photography, because that is not my area of expertise.<\/p>\n

Hire the right person for the job<\/h2>\n

We need to recognize that just because a photographer might be specialized in one area of photography \u2013 such as photojournalism, weddings, or pets \u2013 that does not mean they’re good at all<\/em> forms of photography.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to shooting interiors and exteriors of property, it takes a LOT of hours behind the camera shooting and at the computer editing. It\u2019s a very technical form of photography – the composition and lighting has to be just right, and everyone gets it wrong when they’re first getting started.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that you hire a photographer who is experienced in the field you’re promoting. Get an architectural photographer to shoot your new architectural project. Bring in a real estate photographer to take photos of your latest property listing. Have a wedding photographer shoot your wedding.<\/p>\n

In other words, bring in the right photographer for the right job, pay them whatever it is you need to get them there, and you\u2019ll get the result you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
