Check out some of my favorite photos from a few recent real estate/architecture sessions. I enjoy the challenge of lighting these. Some of them were quite challenging and required about every flash I have! But that’s what makes it fun.
I was excited when M/I homes contacted me to update their corporate portraits and shoot them in a cool location. I don’t mind using backdrops but I would much rather shoot on location with an interesting background. This was my third round with M/I, so a big thanks to them for having me back!
You may or may not know that I shoot real estate and architecture photography as well. There is a lot of set up that goes into getting shots like the ones below. There are a minimum of two off camera flashes used in the interior photos and sometimes up to six. It all depends on how big the room is and how many rooms are visible in the background that need to be lit. To get the exterior photos below I really just had to be there at the right time. That means being there at sunrise or sunset depending on which direction the house is facing. Some of them needed a little extra help so I included a before photoshop and after photoshop for you to check out what went into getting the final product. There might be a few “secret” techniques in there too. :) As always click on the photo to see it big.
Instant grass. Ideally you want to wait until the yard is finished but we had to get this one done. Notice the distracting car in the bottom left has been removed as well.
More yard improvement here too. Notice the dirty street has been removed and the far right side yard by the garage has been cleaned up as well.
