This is it - interior/real estate photography. I spent some time to merge 2/3 expositions into one photo. That way I could show not only the room, but also outside view. I'm pretty happy with this effect.
I like the color and the staging. Consider using a lens or approach that minimizes the wide-angle distortion on shot 1 - this looks like it was shot at something like 10mm. I know it's not easy with smaller and tighter rooms. For that reason, a tilt-shift in portrait mode that you can then shift perspective on and stitch three portrait shots together may give you a more pleasing perspective.
For the perspectives, try moving around a bit and grabbing some shots that are the most natural and flattering for the room. For shot 1, you don't necessarily need to show the entire entry door. Just a portion will suffice - it's not an amenity so there's no reason to show it. The desk is very nice, however, and you could move your perspective over a little to show that some more.
The lighting when it's streaming in from the windows is tough, but try to shoot when you don't have the light casting hard across the room. It's better to shoot mid-day to have an even cast across the room in that regard.
I like the shots - just remember that your audience are people who would potentially want to pay to stay in this room, so look at it from the viewpoint of "what makes this worth paying for".
Exposure and color is very good.
The challenge with a small space is the client ALWAYS wants to see it all. Thus a very wide angle of view is needed.
In the first image, I would crop off a little from the top and bottom and I would have turned the camera towards the bed. By turning the camera it would reduce the stretching of the image on the left and minimize the large expanse of empty carpet on the right.
Whether you use an ultra wide lens or stitch images together, the stretching at the edges will exist because perspective is dictated by where you stand, not the focal length of your lens.
The second photo emphasizes the small size of the room and will not help the client.
The third is very attractive but shows far too much ceiling.
It is a common error for many shooting interiors to leave an image un-cropped. This does not help present the subject well. Large expanses of ceiling or carpet draw attention away from the important parts of the subject.
Here is how I would crop them.
I like the color toning of the woods on the 2nd shot; on the other shots the headboard seems a little too orange.
Also keep in mind since these rooms are so colorful you don't necessarily need such dynamic lighting. The flatter lighting in the 2nd shot with natural light creeping in is my preferred image. I would be careful with highlights as they appear to be a little blown out with the bathrobes on the bed.
NICE ROOM
