Great photos make your property irresistible to guests

When it comes to property listings, first impressions really do matter, so it’s crucial your property is as visually attractive as possible. Here are some tried and tested tips from our expert team on how to take great photos and use them in your listing to maximise impact and appeal.

1. Declutter and Stage

Declutter and stage your space by removing personal items and tidying up, then add stylish touches like cushions or a throw blanket to make it more inviting.

2. Utilise Natural Light

Maximize natural light by shooting photos during the day with curtains and blinds open, and supplement with overhead lights to brighten any dark areas.

3. Find the Right Angle

Shoot photos horizontally at chest height using the widest camera setting, and experiment with different corner angles to find the most flattering perspective for the room.

4. Pay Attention to Composition

Highlight key features like a fireplace using the rule of thirds by positioning them off-center in the frame, and capture them in use to create a more inviting image.

5. Edit Your Photos

Enhance your photos by adjusting highlights, shadows, and contrast, then fine-tune brightness, saturation, and color temperature for optimal results.
