Compositional Standards for Architectural Photography

You want your property to stand out from the crowd, so the photographs should meet architectural standards. Vertical lines should be vertical - not tilted or converging. Horizons should be straight, and all images should be well-lit and color-correct. Anything less is not professional and will detract, at least subconsciously, from the viewer's impression of your property. All my Real Estate photographs are shot to these standards. I never compromise on compositional integrity.

Natural Light Photography

Natural Light Photography is the simple, economical choice for smaller properties. Using only the available light allows me to work faster and creates an attractive, natural look. HDR blending techniques may be used to overcome difficult lighting conditions.

Flash/Ambient Photography ~ The Quality Choice

As beautiful as natural light can be, it may also introduce color balance issues, and its quiet elegance may obscure details. The answer is blending flash photography with ambient light, yielding a cleaner, crisper look, and minimizing color issues. Additionally, outside light in windows can be balanced with inside light. Although it takes a bit more time on-site and significantly more time and skill to edit, Flash/Ambient photography is your best option for a visually appealing presentation of your property.
