I have been shooting architectural photography since the mid 80’s and real estate photography since about 2006. Although my photography experience far exceeds most other real estate photographers, what I feel helps me more then my photography experience is, I’ve been a Realtor so I understand the listing agents side of the business more than other real estate photographers. I have not had my license in over 10 years, but I have been a license Realtor in both California and Utah. The experience I gained helping buyers and sellers has given me a greater understanding of how to market homes to attract the most potential buyers. Along with my real estate photography, I also shoot for several advertising agencies and work directly with other businesses creating images to improve their online marketing. That work can be seen on my commercial site Red Tail Photography . Real estate photography is not just about getting good pictures of the home. It’s also about showing how the rooms flow and setting the mood so potential buyers have an emotional response when they see the images. You want potential buyers to get excited about the house. The images should make potential buyers feel like they could see themselves living there prior to them seeing it in person.
