Do you know how to photograph a view? Let’s say the Atlantic Ocean is in your seller’s back yard like many of the homes here in Hampton, NH. Or perhaps your listing has a well manicured back yard.
If you want to capture the backyard view in your listing photographs, be sure and give the potential buyers a clue as to where you are standing when you snap the shot. I’ve seen many listing photos of a beautiful beach scene near the water, but there’s no indication as to where the photographer is standing. Is this view in the backyard? In the community? Give your viewers some perspective as to where you’re standing when you snap those listing photographs!
In this Brookline, NH home, if the back of the house wasn't visible in this picture, you wouldn't know where on the property this professionally landscaped patio with fire pit was located.
Let the folks looking at your listing pictures have a clue as to where the view is, in relation to the house. This apple orchard below would make a great close-up photo, but you wouldn't be able to tell where on the property the trees were without linking them to a piece of the house in the photo. See what I mean?
It seems so basic, and yet many listing photos leave the viewer wondering, “Where was the picture taken from? I can’t tell.” Next.
