Becoming a Real Estate Photog

February 22, 2007 |

Recently decided to upgrade the quality of our real estate photography.  To that end, I decided to purchase a new Canon EOS Rebel XTi Digital SLR.  It is becoming apparent, to me at least, that with the power of the internet to display numerous pictures at high resolution, real estate photography is going to become an essential part of the real estate skill set.  I have spent the week trying to learn as much as I can about the camera and its features in an attempt to maximize it’s benefit to our listings.  The education process has been interesting.  I have come across a few good sites that cover real estate photography, but it is also becoming apparent that real estate photography is a woefully under-served market.

As of yet, I haven’t had the opportunity to use the camera for pictures of a listing, as soon as I do, I will share.  For now, it is fun and educational simply learning about photography in general and real estate photography specifically.  I always like to stretch my brain whenever I can, and learning a new skill like real estate photography is a perfect exercise.

Granted, the camera wasn’t cheap, but it has been worth every penny. Along with the monetary investment, I spent some time learning the camera, scouring the internet for good articles about real estate photography. I even received help from a client of ours who happens to be a professional photographer. I have had the chance to take pictures of a few homes since purchasing the camera. I have been astonished by the results. I consider myself a pretty good learner, and I would like to think that these pictures are a result of my photographic aptitude, but I know that is only partly true. One thing is for sure, the camera is incredible. Take a look: [...]
