    Photography for Advertising Real Estate


    Realtor.com says, "74 % of all property buyers start by looking at the internet first".

    If your photographs are not arresting, then the viewer will simply "SURF ON".

    7.5 Clock Hours

    Photography is a powerful tool in Advertising, and especially in Real Estate. A prospective client makes a yes or no decision within seconds, based on visual impact.

    This class will prepare an agent using any kind of film or digital camera, to make professional grade images for the internet or print media.


    Operate your own camera

    Shoot for the internet

    Utilize the proper lens for each scene

    Group images together

    Make time lapse photographs

    Plan for mural photographs

    Understand architectural art concepts

    Display images at the best viewing distance

    Prevent tangent lines

    Use a tripod & why

    Show special features of the property

    Improve curb appeal, temporarily

    Exploit color to communicate

    Manipulate the exterior

    Create the illusion of depth

    Find the best angle for interiors

    Take advantage of contrast

    Arrange the furniture, if any

    Select which shots and details

    Capture the correct lighting

    Beware of the background

    Use simple props to create that "homey" feeling

    Decide when to use film or digital ? ?

    Present three dimensions

    The instructor will explain how the use of design, art, composition, color and lighting can be manipulated to attract a viewer's eye, all of which have nothing to do with the camera!

    Advertising and marketing concepts will be covered, as they apply to architecture. Also included will be, the techniques of shooting to a layout, providing continuity, choosing the best details to feature, staging for the camera, what to showcase to a target market, choosing to plan for the final use and when to include simple props to create a "homey" feeling.

    Agents will be exposed to the most dramatic lighting for architecture so they can duplicate the efforts of a professional photographer.

    Time will be spent discussing the limitations and advantages of using the internet for advertising, such as image size, resolution, reproducing images, the use of images in series, (not movies), how to group images in order to trap the viewers eye on the page and business implications.

    Consideration will be given to the type of camera the agents have, some discussion about film, stops, contrast, ASA/ISO, and scanning prints. In addition, software, storage, longevity and white balance will be covered.

    Several handouts will be given to illustrate and display how resolution affects the image, different types of lighting, how cameras work and the secret of stops.

    The correct resolution for mural photography will also be included in this class.

    Please Bring Your Camera and Camera Manual to the Class!
