An attractive advertisement for the sale or rental of real estate helps to find more

potential buyers and tenants. At the same time, beautiful photos can be even more
important. Of course, you can head a selling process alone. But we recommend you to
book a professional event photographer in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to sell your property
faster.

Our best UAE photographers are going to share with you some useful tips about how to
make fascinating photos of apartments and houses.

Tips from Dubai (Abu Dhabi) corporate event photographers:

1) Choose the right time

It is best to take photos during daylight hours - in the morning or in the afternoon. If the
windows of the apartment are on the sunny side, it is better to take pictures from 8 to 12
in the morning. The best photos are obtained when it is not very cloudy outside. Ideal if
the shooting is done in summer, or during warm spring or autumn.

You should not shoot the interior when the sun is shining brightly through the window. In
this case, the shadows will turn out to be too contrasting, and things will be
overexposed.

In the evening, you can only shoot if your apartment has good lighting system.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to get good shots. It is not recommended mixing warm and
cold light when shooting interiors. Photos of the one apartment with different lightning
can be confusing for the buyer.

2) Think about the shot

Horizontal picture is preferable for photography of interiors. It makes sense to use

vertical photography only in some cases. For example, if the room has a vertical
wallpaper pattern or narrow cabinets up to the ceiling. In any shooting format, make
sure that the vertical lines are parallel to the edge of the image.

It is better to think over the concept of the picture in advance, so that the angle allows
you to focus on important details, comfortable furniture, and emphasize the best parts of
the apartment or a house.

Our event photographers also suggest the following: in one shot, it is good to combine
transitions from one zone to another (from the bedroom to the bathroom or from the
kitchen to the living room). So the interested person will be able to have a "walk" with
his own eyes through the frame and better imagine what the house or apartment looks
like. Don’t forget to eliminate any visual clutter that distracts the buyer’s attention from
the viewing.

Note: It happens very often that a house or apartment can be sold much quicker when
there is a short video of it. In such a way, potential clients can literally “feel” everything.

property, so contact us for further details.

3) Set up the camera

From the experience, you can get the best pictures using a wide-angle lens and a
tripod. Such a camera allows you to fit a maximum of space in one frame.

When taking photos of the interior, you need to achieve a high depth of field. Try to
ensure that most of the frame is in focus. For this, you need to set special settings on
the camera.

It is perfect when the interiors are shown light and bright. Bright interiors look optimistic
and make a more positive impression on the buyer.

What to do if you don’t have a professional camera?

If you don't have a good camera, today it’s not a problem. You can take pretty good
pictures with your phone camera. To do this, you need to know a few basic rules of
interior photography. You should not use flash, and zoom is also better off. If there is
such a function, you need to set the highest quality of the photo. When shooting with a
phone, you need to focus on the center of the frame and not shoot from very close
distances.

There are a lot of helpful applications both on Android and iOS that allow you to make
panoramic photos. But actually, on new models of phones there is an already built-in
function for panoramic shots.

4) Pay attention to details

The apartment must first be prepared for shooting. Do the cleaning, clean the tiles and
plumbing to the shining, wash the windows, put things in order, sort things. The home
should look natural and cozy. All unnecessary things need to be removed to free up
maximum space. This will help the buyer to imagine where it will be more convenient for
him to put his favorite chair, how he will decorate the interior and so on. You can
"revitalize" the room by placing a decorative pillow on the sofa, hanging a couple of
bright towels in the bathroom, and leaving a basket with fruits or sweets in the kitchen.
But personal items, such as family photos, better should be removed. The same applies
to children's things and various household items for pets. There is no need to leave
open newspapers on the table or take pictures of the turned on TV. When an
apartment is depersonalized, it is easier for people to imagine themselves as
residents.

Find and highlight the best features of the apartment: panoramic view from the balcony,
beautiful light from the window, good interior design, good layout. You can take a series
of photos, which will include shots with general plans and close-ups of interesting or
important interior details.

Beautiful and correct photos will highlight the advantages of the apartment and help you
find a buyer or tenant faster.

How many photos should there be to sell a house/apartment?

The more successful photos there are in the ad, the faster the apartment will find its
buyer. But you don't need to photograph everything! 6-15 of the most beautiful photos
are enough. As a rule, our photographers take 50-60 photos to choose from, and then
select and edit the best ones.

And remember, it is not so important how many photos advertise your apartment, but
how the house you are selling looks in these photos.
