Tips and Tricks

  1. Good Lighting is Key: Take photos during daylight hours, preferably during the “golden hour” (shortly after sunrise or before sunset) for soft, flattering light. Avoid harsh shadows caused by midday sun.
  2. Keep the Camera Steady: Use a tripod or steady your phone on a flat surface to reduce blur.
  3. Clean the Lens: Ensure the camera lens is clean to avoid smudges or unclear images.
  4. Frame the Entire Building: Capture the full structure unless you are highlighting specific details.
  5. Straighten Your Shots: Make sure the horizon line is level and the building isn’t tilted unless you’re going for a creative angle.
  1. Show the Front Entrance: Include the doorway and any distinguishing features, such as landscaping or porch details.
  2. Capture from an Angle: Photograph the house from a slight angle to give it depth and dimension.
  3. Declutter the Scene: If possible, clear away objects like garbage bins or toys to make the photo more visually appealing.
  1. Highlight Functionality: Show the building in its context, such as barns surrounded by fields or greenhouses with crops visible.
  2. Include the Landscape: Capture the building in its natural surroundings to provide a sense of scale and purpose.
  3. Focus on Unique Features: Emphasize structures like silo tops, barn doors, or weathered textures that add character.
  1. Focus on Signage: Make sure the business name or sign is visible and clearly readable.
  2. Use Symmetry: Center the shot if the building’s design emphasizes balance and symmetry.
  3. Include the Setting: Show nearby streets or parking areas to give context.
