You only get ONE chance at a First Impression
This applies 100% to Real Estate or Rental property listings. When potential buyers or renters are looking through long results for something that meets their criteria, you want your listing or rental property to STAND OUT!
You can do this by being the most expensive, the cheapest, or having a unique and memorable first photo!
Compare these two photos of the same property:
Not going to stand out in anyone’s mind other than perhaps the placement of the golf-cart. (It required the Photographer to spend about 3 seconds shooting and 3 minutes editing and was shot on any moderately clear sunny day)
This image required:
- careful planning
- arriving at just the right moment
- having the patience and dedication to take several photos over time without moving the camera
It was the result of combining 9 separate photos into one image
- (1) First one shot at 7:20 when sun was behind horizon but still light out
- (2) Another image shot at 8:05 when it was dark enough to see the lights on inside through the windows, and
- (7) photos all taken while aiming a high-powered strobe at various parts of the house (to make sure that the white color stayed bright white) unlike this image, which is what most night photos look like:
(Also, a very nice image!)
Requires using either a long POLE to elevate the camera, or an aerial drone smooth enough to take a long-exposure shot allowing such clear visibility in very dark environments.
BUT see how the house looks kind of blue/yellow instead of WHITE?
Here are the images required to keep color of the home accurate (fired separately while hand-holding a 200 Watt/second Godox Flash
So next time you ask your Real Estate photographer why twilight photos cost $150 extra, hopefully they’ll tell you it’s because we can only shoot ONE per day and only a few per week based on perfect weather conditions!
BTW – this home is available for RENT in Tullahoma TN . . . See more photos of it here:
Great Middle TN Senior Photo Session with a Beautiful Classic Car & a Camera Loving Heeler named Chico!
The images portray the grandeur of this spectacular property – from it’s waterfront views, private park-like natural setting, and regal interior details, too much to possibly describe and will let the video and photo gallery speak for themselves

So glad to see my work slowly coming back to life after a long period of time that has been dedicated to the health/well-being of my father. I’m grateful that Ford Motorsports allowed me this privileged opportunity to photograph their amazing new 4-door, 4-cylinder, 4-wheel-drive, 6-speed rocket of a precision canyon carving icon. I look forward to shooting some rolling video footage of it next week using a new drone, and follow this one up with an all new shoot of the new GT350 loaded with fresh new accessories for 2017 Catalog.
I am HONORED to PHOTOGRAPH this breathtakingly gorgeous listing. It took 4 trips to the farm in all to capture and document the beauty that is this property.
Listing agent, Leann Uselton said: “Words are hard to find to describe this beauty. This 156 acre secluded farm hosts 4 homes, horse barn, cattle working facility, equipment shed and so many amenities, the list just can’t be described! This property is shown by appointment only! Must have proof of funds/or pre-approval letter prior to scheduled showing, and per sellers request, listing agent must be present at all times. Completely secluded! It is a must see!”
