Hi.  I just launched my new portfolio site for real estate photography.  I have been tweaking my techniques for over 2 years now, and am getting closer to a winning formula, but every home and situation is different.  I have found that using natural light in the evening is my favorite way to shoot interiors.  When I shoot daytime photos, it requires bringing along powerful strobes to get the lighting balanced...and even if it is done correctly, flashes can sometimes give a cold look to an otherwise beautiful home.

This is all a matter of preference, but in marketing a house, I think evening interiors give a warmer, more inviting look to a home. There is something different about viewing a home in the evening.  It's cozy, candles are lit, shadows are realistic, fire is going, and the list goes on and on.

Check out my photos at Texas Real Estate Photography dot com and tell me what you think!

Carson, nice pix. I like evening shots also - the interior light seems to go farther. A well designed afternoon setting with the sunlight streaming through a window can be dramatic I've found.

It looks like most of your inside pictures were taken with a strobe and in low lighting.  Is that true or just my imagination.  I say that because to me most of the lights are too bright for me.

I love the evening exteriors on these stately homes especially against the magical blue sky. I like the interior photos also but I don't quite get the feeling. I'm far from an expert photographer so take it for what it's worth.

Those photos look professional.  Very nice job on them.  I like the night exterior shots and the way the house lights up.

Nice work.  Did I understand you to say that you didn't use interior strobes at all?

Nice work.  Question: strobe or no strobe on interiors?  Question 2: How did you get a contact page on your Photography Blog?
