What makes a good property photo?

Straight verticals, natural light and a picture that shows the space, not the furniture. In a good property photo the viewer understands how the rooms connect.

For offices, clinics, retail spaces and apartments the rule is the same: order, light, straight lines.

Light and time of day

We photograph the facade at the time of day when it faces the light. Inside, we supplement natural light so the windows do not burn out and the corners are not dark.

Clinics and offices are photographed before or after opening hours so work does not stop.

What do we photograph at a property?

Order, light, straight lines: the same rule applies to offices, clinics, retail spaces and apartments.

interior

Every room from several angles, with straight perspective.

The viewer understands how the spaces connect.

exterior

Facade, entrance and surroundings at the time of day when they face the light.

This is how buyers recognise the place before they arrive.

details

Materials, finishes and furnishings up close.

Quality shows in the detail, not in the wide shot.

drone

Where airspace allows, the building and its surroundings from above.

It shows what is around it: park, parking, transport.
