Multifamily Photography Tips
Apartment Photography can sound like a huge undertaking, but it does not have to be! Using our simple guidelines below will help you crank out some spectacular photos of your space that can improve your interactions and clicks across yoursocial media platforms and website. Here is what you need to know:
Natural Lighting For Photos
Lighting is Key! Making your space bright and welcoming with some key lighting will help create a more appealing atmosphere. You do not need to spend a fortune on professional lighting for daytime apartment photography but making sure there are a few adequate lighting sources during a shoot will certainly help capture better images and increase the appeal of your space. Having at least two balanced lighting units can help to better fill in shadowy or dark areas.
Camera Angles
It’s all about those angles, baby! Bring the camera down lower and tilt the lens up. This technique will capture more of the room and produce a more impactful image. When you photograph an object, person or space with a camera that captures below the normal below eye level, the subject will appear slightly larger and more pronounced. It’s a great way to really enhance the view of a spectacular kitchen or master bedroom.
Photography Composition
Less is more. Of course, you will want to show off all the unique and appealing features of your living space but do remember that it is not necessary to show every little corner. Be discerning of the content you capture. The goal is exciting, dazzling, eye-catching apartment photography, not a yawn-fest of boring, poorly lit images. Fill the frame with only the very best! Leave your viewers and followers informed, impressed, and intrigued to see more! Need help? Bring in the professionals – this is what we do!

Put Amenities on The Spotlight
Dress to impress! Show off the most fantastic features and amenities that your apartment has to offer but be cognizant of what furniture and props you use. If you are a newbie, we recommend the “Less is More” approach. Nothing should detract or distract from the main image of your shot. Adding some fun colors or textures to the space can help influence viewers to really see the apartment’s full potential and help to plant the seeds of design ideas in their head. Bottom-line, avoid clutter or any pieces that might be considered “loud” or “extra”. Do not take away from your main focal point, only enhance it. Using a palette of three or four main colors that complement each other will be more aesthetically pleasing.
Photo Editing Applications
Photo Editing Apps can help you add the finishing touches to your Apartment Photographs! There are dozens of free apps (PhotoDirector, Pixlr, Snapseed, Werble are a few) that can help polish your images, enhance colors, reframe, resize, and more. Adding logos or even small enhancement via Photoshop or Canva will prove handy where you’re wanting big-impact property photography!
Time to bust out the camera! It’s your turn now. Remembering key tools like lighting, impactful framing, set dressing to create atmosphere, and photo editing enhancements apps will bring your very best images to life!
