In shooting real estate, the important task is to keep or improve the property’s value by prepping it properly. This is your responsibility as a photographer. However, you also have to follow the taste and preference of the agent or the homeowner and meet their marketing goals. Remove objects that will devalue the property and think of how you can beautify it with every shot.

Question: Who is your favorite real estate photographer and why?
Answer: My favorite photographer is Magin Urdanick. Besides being friendly and great to work with as a person in general, her skills and “eye” for photos are really great. Not merely ‘room’ shots, she takes some wonderfully artistic shots that set the tone and feeling of connection for potential buyers looking online. It really bumps up the draw to get buyers into the house, and the sellers love her shots.
