Why Professional Photography?

High-quality professional photography is essential in presenting a property in its best possible light. In today’s fast-paced digital world, where attention spans are measured in seconds, the images in your online listing—whether on REA or Domain must immediately capture a potential buyer’s interest.

The primary goal of listing photos is to generate enough interest to drive prospective buyers to an in-person inspection. In a competitive market, buyers often have multiple open homes to visit, particularly on busy Saturday mornings. A well-presented listing with exceptional photography gives your property a competitive edge, ensuring it stands out and the buyers have an emotional connection prior to arriving.

With the increasing capabilities of smartphone cameras, including AI editing, some agents may consider taking property photos themselves. While this can be a convenient option, achieving professional-quality results requires careful attention to detail. If you choose to capture your own listing photos, keep the following best practices in mind:

• Ensure all lights are on and blinds are open, fans are off
• Remove as much clutter from the rooms as possible – this includes items from showers, kitchen benchtops and dining areas
• Ensure bedspreads are pulled neat and tidy in rooms
• Position yourself in the corner of the room, use the widest possible lens on your phone
• Keep the camera pointed straight, such that the verticals in the photo run parallel on the sides of the phone – do not point up towards the ceiling or towards the ground
• Note that white balance between rooms may change due to lighting, you will need to adjust for this in editing.
