Just wanted to share with you guys my top photos over the last year (started in may 2018). A year ago I had a hard drive mishap and lost everything from my first year. I'd like to get into shooting more architectural photography, but I'm fairly far away from the city. So for now shooting cool houses where I can.
Any feedback is of course appreciated
I'm generally liking your work. I do have a couple of suggestions, though.
1) use a wider-angle lens,
2) Photo #1 - get the horizontal window parts horizontal. The top of the window frame looks to be a shade off.
3) Photo #3 - a wider perspective might help.
4) Photo #5 - be sure to include the entire (horizontally) width of the fridge doors.
5) Photo #6 - include the entire foreground pool. It looks like you're almost there now. Again, a wider-angle lens might be helpful.
6) Photo #7 - include the entire window frames, both left and right. Both are clipped. Doing so would bring in all of the chair under the window on the right. Again, a wider-angle lens might be helpful.
7) Photo #8 - you could pull the right side in to the post and the left out to include all of the window frame.
8) Photo #9 - pull the top up to get the entire window frame. Pull the right in almost all the way to the fridge door. Either include more of the counter on the left or completely leave it out.
9) Photo #10 - Pull the right side out to include the entire front of the fridge and drop the bottom to include all of the island cabinet.
Just one guy's opinions, and Lord knows, I've got opinions...

I appreciate your suggestions! Framing the shot is always tough to balance time and reward in these types of shoots (and some are just plain oversights). But I generally agree with most of your mentions. My main disagreement is the wider angle lens bit- widest i go is 18mm, and beyond that distorts rooms way too much in my opinion. But hey- to each their own. Opinions help perspective!
I like your work! Saturation levels are nice(not too much and green toning is sweet). Ratio between inside & outside brightness is really good on on many of the images. I would not personally shoot wider than this if you want a more interior design look in your images (depends of course of the client and all the other shots of the listings )
Thanks you! I use an 18-35 most of the time, but I try to stick to 20mm or narrower if i can get away with it. Love the more intimate shots but sometimes you just gotta show the whole room
Nice work. Might want to look into flash/ambient blending to eliminate color casting. Research Nathon Cool Photo on youtube.
These are flash/ambient blends. I use an xplor 600. Completely eliminating color casting makes photos look too fake. Leaving some is better imo
