I’ll admit it… I may be coming around on detail shots. 📸
I’ve had a customer recently start requesting more artistic/detail images on their shoots, and traditionally I’ve always thought of these as more “magazine shoot” than “MLS photography.”
After all, buyers need to see the rooms, the layout and the features of the house—not a close-up of a bathtub tray. 😂
But the more of these I shoot, the more I’m starting to understand the appeal.
The wide shots show you the house.
These shots help sell the feeling of the house.
A quiet firepit tucked into the trees. A little detail on the porch. A spot for a drink overlooking the backyard. Those are the images that can help someone picture themselves actually living there—and they also give agents something a little different to work with on social media and other marketing.
I’m still not giving up my wide-angle shots anytime soon. 😉 But I’m digging the vibe, and I think I finally understand why some agents have been asking for these.
Maybe there’s room for a little “magazine” in an MLS shoot after all.
