Take your Real Estate Photos up a Notch with Post-Processing and Image Editing What is post-processing, many people wonder. If your camera is good enough, do you really need to do this? Absolutely! As a home stager and interior photographer, I pay attention to a lot details and light the rooms with several flashes at a time, which takes me about 1.5 hours on site for the typical Calgary, AB home. But then I'm in it for at least that long afterwards on my computer! These are the typical things I adjust and/or correct on many of the photos I take: White … (36 comments)

- 01/24/10 01:49 PM
We've all seen those MLS real estate photos where the vertical lines are going every which way . . . except straight up and down. In a recent post, as a Calgary real estate Photographer, I've already discussed how to avoid that while you are taking the pictures. But what do you do if you didn't get it quite right at the time?

As a real estate photographer, I have seen this a thousand times. The walls are flaring out, which is even more exaggerated with the wide angle lens. How does this happen??

better photography: Peak-a-Boo, I see you! And, Skip to the Loo! Two Real estate Photography games we all play.

Ever played Peak-a-boo in the loo?? I had to laugh at myself last week. I did a pre-market staging consultation, snapped some photos for the Recommendation Report that I would email later, and finished up with my meeting. When I got home to write up my report, I took a look at the photos and saw this in the pile:

I like creating discussion among other professionals in the real estate industry on various staging, photography and off-beat topics. I value the insight of others and the synergy we all benefit from when we collaborate--iron sharpens iron!
I also have a love for fitness, personal growth and my family.
