Multi-family Real Estate Photography

Shooting these monuments was both fun and challenging.  The fun part was finding the best angle to photograph from and the challenging part was getting it done quickly before the rain, avoiding the service trucks that were parked nearby and of course, dodging the traffic entering and exiting the properties.  The Berkely Landing photo turned out really nice.  The property is lush and the winding road to the apartments makes a really nice photographic entrance.  It was about to rain, ATT was working in back of me and ahead of me the road was torn up and bulldozers were coming out of the woodwork. The First Communities' staff does a really good job in preparing the properties for a photo shoot but you can't control mother nature or ATT for that matter.

417 Melrose Ave - Decatur, GA

I had a wonderful time shooting this Decatur home.  Mitzi Morgan of Roost Realty is the agent for this listing and she was fantastic to work with.  She had the vision for marketing and I had tools (photographic skills) to deliver.  It was a good collaboration  Did I mention she staged this home?   Check out the virtual tour here.

Wow, can't get enough of this gorgeous Atlanta home.

I believe I could take a photo from anywhere in this home and it would compose beautifully.

224 Mountain View, Decatur, GA - Tips for photographing a vacant space.



I recently shot this home for Ben Hirsh of Hirsh Real Estate.   This dining room photo end up being one of my favorite out of the series. 

Sometimes vacant spaces are difficult to define because there aren't any furnishings or accessories to interpret the space.  This dining room has many interior features that make it very attractive and inviting.  When shooting a vacant space be sure to anchor the space with architectural features such as windows, doorways, chair rails, etc.  Shooting big blank walls will only leave the viewer wondering how this space works or more likely, confused as to use and scale. 

To turn it up a notch, show and light the adjacent room or space.  The dining room has a butler pantry that helps expand the space and make it interesting.  Yup, I stuck a flash unit in the corner of the pantry to show off cabinetry.

And lastly, control the window brightness.  Having too much brightness come through the windows becomes distracting because it's the first thing your eyes are drawn to and will take away from the room's elements.  Even as bright as the windows were, I used a total of three flash units to get this shot.  It took me about 15 minutes to set-up this shot and about five minutes in post.  It was well worth it because it's one of my faves.
