As a professional photographer in Real Estate it makes me cringe when I see some of the listing photos put out there. If you understand the value of curb appeal, if you understand the value of a well staged home, but you neglect the value of high quality photos you are really doing yourself a huge disservice. Over 80% of home shopping begins on the internet where your pictures do ALL the talking, that's a big deal!

There are a lot of things I watch for when taking my photos - blown out windows, flash reflections, out of focus shots, under- or overexposed shots, the list goes on.
Today we're going to go over framing the photo well. I can't tell you how many pictures I've seen that are 80% floor - it's got to be one heck of a floor if the rest of the room is not worth showing. Here are some examples from real property listings:
Your shot should include some floor, all wall, and some ceiling. There is no trick to this, just shoot from a lower angle - squat down a little if you have to and take a couple steps back if you need to get more of the room in the frame. It's just something that many people don't think about when they are taking pictures - especially those guys who are 6 1/2 feet tall, that must be how they see the world.
Here's a picture from one of my latest shoots, all I've done is lower the angle that the picture is taken from:
