Second Shoot: It’s Not Getting Any Easier
Oh hey, remember that little real estate photography business I told you about?
It’s still kickin’. Rather anemically, but still.
One month ago today, I shot photos of 4417 Arbor Cove Circle, our very first gig. After two appearances at real estate caravans, five trips to FedEx Office to print marketing materials, a dozen visits to real estate offices to flaunt our pretty faces (and to distribute marketing materials), we finally booked our second job: 2720 Avalon Avenue. And we thought getting the first job would be the hardest. Yikes.
The homeowner was still in her nightgown with a scrub brush in hand when we arrived. Apparently a stickler for details, she hadn’t had time to change clothes because she was too busy trying to buff and shine every square inch of her house. Besides having to hop-scotch around while we waited for her to finish prepping the various rooms, the shoot went well. Better to overdo [cleaning] than under-do, I say. Better a motivated homeowner than a laxidasical one.
I’m pretty happy with the photos. (Thank goodness this time around The Editor wasn’t off skiing in Colorado.) ☼

Excellent photos! The colors really pop, an amazing range of colors that camera picks up. Are these HDR? The exposure balance between the shadowed areas and the sky is really impressive.
Hey Cory,
Thanks! Yep, these are HDR. We shot between 3 and 7 exposures for each finished image.
