Your real estate photography business can be extremely dependent on the equipment you use. The right equipment can make your business a success. The wrong real estate photography equipment can break you. To help get your business booming, you need the right editing tools and equipment. This isn’t really surprising considering that specific tools and equipment are required by very nearly every business on the planet. In the case of real estate, however, your listings are more likely to be noticed if you have appropriate, high-quality equipment, a good sense of space and color, a good eye for what works and what’s appealing, and more.
Let’s look at some of the equipment you could make good use of as a real estate photographer.
Online Portfolio
With an online portfolio, your real estate photography business can be showcased for all it’s worth. They’re easy to find, so you’ll be able to show off your unique content with a portfolio that suits all your needs. To expand your network, connect with realtors and other real estate professionals by creating a social media account.
Drone
If potential buyers are looking for something truly wonderful, the “wow factor” can be added to your presentation by using aerial photography. This enables viewers to catch a bird’s eye view of the neighborhood and their potential home.
Check local rules, laws, and regulations to see if, in order to operate a drone, you need a license.
Photo Editing Software
Great photography doesn’t simply happen on its own. Some retouching is needed even with the most professionally executed photos. You can easily enhance image quality through a photo editing platform that’s “all-in-one”.
Wide Angle Lens
With ease, an entire room can be captured in a photo if you use a wide-angle lens. Surprisingly, in areas that are a tight fit, a wide-angle lens can be particularly helpful.
External Flash
The unpredictability of an indoor space’s lighting source can ruin your shot. To add high quality, bright lighting to any room, consider an external flash investment. That way, you control the lighting and eliminate shadows in a situation.
Remote Trigger
The less you have to touch your camera, the lower the chance that you will move it during a shot. Setting up your camera on a tripod (see below) and taking the picture remotely will assist you in that endeavor.
Tripod
Focus is important for real estate photos. With a tripod, even in low lighting with slow shutter speeds, you can keep your shots steady to capture the most accurate, clearest photos of an area, object, space, etc.
DSLR Camera
A digital single lens reflex camera – DSLR camera – will help you capture images that are truly high-quality. To customize the feel of your photos, these cameras are best for manually adjusting IS0, aperture, and shutter speed.
