I recently did a šø shoot and took photos with my cell phone AND with my professional camera. Yes, itās true. Phones have incredible cameras on them, but that doesnāt necessarily make them the right tools for the job. If youāre not convinced, I even came up with 3 ways to HELP YOU shoot with your phone (if thatās what you choose)
1 - shoot your photos level. Most cellphones have an in app leveler. Use it. You wonāt get the āfun houseā effect or distorted photos this way. Always line up your images with a vertical wall.
2 - Shoot wide. Most of these shots were photographed around the .6-.7 range. It will make the spaces look bigger
3 - Focus on what matters. 20 photos of the same room or taking a photograph of every vent, fan, light switch, and toilet can actually hurt your listing.
Our job as media professionals is to help YOU showcase your home in the best light/way possible.
