Hey all,
In the last few months, I've been working out my new business plan for the next 3-5 years. I haven't been happy with the response on the portrait market, mainly because of a completely saturated market in my area. I've been researching lots of successful real estate photographers, and building my style of real estate photography.
I recently had the opportunity to shoot the home of a friend of mine who's a general contractor and partner in his dad's real estate agency. This session was an audtition for doing regular business with my friend. I'd love some feedback on these images, since this is the very first time I've ever shot real estate.
Note: the home is brand new construction, completed the very day I shot the session (you can still see some tape on the vent hood that was painted that morning). There is no turf in the yard, thus I have no exterior shots. C&C welcome.
1. stovetop / cabinets
2. sink
3. details on the cabinets
4. showing off the granite counters
5. under counter details
6. living room pano
7. fireplace pano
8. tray ceiling
9. bathroom sink
10. bathroom pano
11. kitchen pano (I'm going to fix the barrel distortion on the right edge)

I used 5 shot brackets and HDR processing for all of these images. I'm still working on getting a consistent output I'm happy with. How do you guys shoot real estate? C&C on the images, and suggestions on the session itself are much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
