Well, of course, it's not the type of photography business that most comes to mind, but I've gotten 2 paying jobs with my HomeSnapz.com RE Photography business. A RE agent contacted me, shot that house and made a DVD slide show, then she called me a week later for a rush job.

A couple sample images:

Living room/kitchen with HDR merge (extra charge, of course)

Any advice/critque welcome. One thing, I know some of the interior shots look a little 'warm' This is deliberate not to completely white balance them. IMO, it gives a more 'homey' feel - but am I wrong?

    I think you did a great job on these. I like the warm cozy feeling of the 1st shot.

    I agree wholeheartedly.....keep the warmth in your images!!! People won't even realize what is attracting them in these shots. A warmer white balance may boost her sales and yours as well!!! :D

    Yeah, 'specialy with cookie cutter tract homes, can be hard to get a good exterior shot. The agent didn't want a straight on shot, did'nt like the roof lines over the garage, and shooting from the other direction you can't see the front entrance anyways.

    Well, I wouldn't cut the tree down, since living in the desert trees are hard to come by, however, I would warm it a bit, I agree. On the first I wonder what it would look like with the kitchen table light off. It over exposes that corner and doens't add to the photo. Was there another angle that might not include so much sofa back?

    The white balance is spot on. I study the Phoenix Home and Garden and can test myself on which lights should/should not be on, etc. I am an electrical contractor by profession, photographer by passion.

    MY 2 cents.
