The Quickie Real Estate Photo Package

The Quickie Real Estate Photo Package ($90)

Details

Most suited for lots, apartments and small commercial properties

I believe 'Less is More' and a limited number of shots that best enhance your property are what will draw the interest of a potential buyer.

Please note that the following represents a 'Quickie' shoot if I receive no alternative directions from the client.

Here is what I do at the scene:

Arrive promptly at the scheduled time
A quick walk through the scene to ensure the property has been staged as agreed and that all lights are on
Take up to 14 multiple exposure photographs in RAW format on an architectural tripod (Additional photos $6.00/photo)
The lot is photographed if applicable
Establishing shots of the building exterior are photographed
Key elements of the interior are photographed
All photographs are shot in a horizontal format, unless the client directs vertical formats are suitable where applicable
Wide angle lenses are used to create a sense of space and depth to the interior
Existing blinds and diffusers are used to reduce harsh daylight within the room (Blinds drawn with panels open half way)
I do not photograph inside garages, unfinished basement areas, storage areas or inside closets unless requested to do so by the client
I do not rearrange furniture with the exception of temporarily removing a piece that may block the foreground of an image
I may open closets or step into a shower stall to pull the camera back out of the room
The site visit will take an average of 30 minutes

Here is what I do to process the images:

Download all of the RAW files to my digital work station
Examine each series of exposures and determine which series will require HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing
Blend the HDR exposures together
Select an optimum White Balance that best displays the natural lighting conditions and artificial sources
Process each selected image for exposure, contrast, shadow recovery, highlight recovery, black point, white point, saturation, vibrance, sharpness, noise, dehazing, lens distortion, align and crop to 2x3 ratio
Where possible reduce individual colour channels to remove colour casts from interior shots that have excessive sunlight or fluorescent lighting sources
Add neutral gradient filters to balance light in the scene
Minimal spot or artifact removal
I do not clone, mask or otherwise remove existing objects or distractions from images unless requested to do so at an additional cost
Interior shots will have a spacious and bright look, revealing existing light and shadow
Exterior shots will have a slightly bolder but natural look
The images will have a consistent density
Convert the processed images to JPEG files in sRGB colour work space suitable for web and small print publishing
Upload all the converted JPEGs (3000 pixel width) to a private client gallery on the Presentation Photo website
Notify the client by email when the files are uploaded and provide the link and password to access the gallery for unrestricted download
Original high resolution RAW and PSD files in ProPhoto RGB colour space are kept on file should you require them for special publications or enlargements
The files are roughly 50mb/photo and will be available if the client provides a flash drive to transfer and pickup the files
The files you receive will print and enlarge comfortably providing you use a professional printer and employ colour managed software

Should you require something different than specifications above, it may incur additional costs.
