Gallery of Real World Examples
This is a gallery of a few before and after examples from recent photo shoots and I've tried to pick photos that you might expect to see in any random listing from the MLS -- nothing too artsy or a property that's too unique. The "before" pictures, other than being resized from 12 megapixels down to 600x400 pixels, have not been retouched in any way and are shown as they were captured by the camera. You'll notice that our process provides the most stunning results on interior photos due to the more drastic difference between indoor and outdoor light, but you'll find that outdoor shots benefit greatly as well.
The golden rule of real estate photography is "if you want the house to look like a dingy cave then don't forget to use your flash so it looks as bad as possible." All of our photos are achieved with only the ambient light available.

This shot was taken in the early morning when the sun was behind the trees so the details of the home were not washed out. It's a nice photo... until you see how much better it looks once we've processed it.

In this photo the client requested a shot after sunset that would allow the home lights to 'pop', but not be so dark outside as you couldn't clearly see the home.

This is a classic example of a standard sunny day 'front of the house' shot. There isn't a cloud in the sky and the angles of the shot really make the house look good... until you see how much better it can be once we add a little oomph.

This is a gorgeous home by a master designer and I was honored to receive the call to shoot it. The only problem was it was late afternoon and the summer sun was blowing out the windows so you couldn't see much of what was happening outside... that is until I pulled a few tricks out of my hat to balance out the room so the photo looks just like real life.

This is the master bedroom of that same gorgeous home that was suffering from still more direct afternoon sun through the window. Not a problem!

This is a beautiful lakeside condo, but you'd never know that from the before photo until we account for the wild mix of natural, florescent, tungsten and halogen lighting that are all in this scene.

An original Craftsman + direct noon sun shining through the windows = a bad photo. Or does it?

Another photo from that same Craftsman, but this time we're getting reflection of that noon sun from the bright white house next door. Not a problem.
