Shoot at the right time of day
Photograph interiors in bright, indirect daylight — mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Turn on every light, open curtains and blinds, and turn off ceiling fans.
Shoot the exterior when the sun is on the front of the property. A twilight exterior shot works well as a second image for higher-value homes.
Prepare each room before you lift the camera
Remove bins, cables, dish racks, toiletries, fridge magnets, laundry and personal photos. Make beds, straighten cushions, clear benches down to one or two objects.
Wipe mirrors, glass and splashbacks. Reflections show every smudge in a photo even when the room looks fine to the eye.
Angles and framing
Shoot from a corner at roughly chest height, keep the camera level so vertical lines stay vertical, and include a doorway or window to give the room depth.
One clean wide shot per room beats five near-identical angles. Use the phone's main lens rather than heavy ultra-wide, which distorts and makes rooms look unnatural.
The shot list buyers expect
Front exterior, living area, kitchen, each bedroom, each bathroom, outdoor space, parking or garage, and a view or standout feature. For apartments, add the building entry and any common facilities.
Order the gallery the way a person would walk through: lead image, living, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, outdoors.
Editing and uploading
Light corrections only — exposure, straightening and a small contrast lift. Do not remove or add features; misleading images cause disputes and wasted inspections.
Upload the full set at high resolution. Listings with a complete photo set consistently receive several times more enquiries than listings with one or two images.
