In case you don't know, at Emerald Coast Dream Views, we produce high-quality virtual staging images. Although we use AI to help speed things up, these images are created with 3D objects which give us the ability to re-position the furniture. But it also gives us the ability to re-use the assets for other photos. For example, see how you can see the dining room furniture through the doorway of the office. If you used AI only, it would probably render entirely different furniture in the background. If you are interested in virtual staging for your listing photos, give us a call: (850) 733-7625 #realestate #realestatephotography

What I like about using a long lens is that it blurs the fence out of the picture. You can still kinda see it the owl shot. #gulfbreezezoo

I had the privilege of helping @coastalgirl76 launch her new home decor website. We built it with Shopify. She has curated some of the most unique, hand-made products available. I really connect with her core philosophy and as she says on her website: "No matter what place you call home, the very word strikes a chord deep inside each of us. Home means sanctuary, the place we can rest, relax, enjoy time with loved ones, friends, learn, grow … and just be. Our homes say a lot about who we are and what we think is important in life." Our home says a lot about us and what we fill it with expresses who we are. If you like to make your home a comfortable place for friends and family, please check out some of the products Yesenia has to offer. My favorites are the plush toys found in her Baby & Kids Collection.

Now offering 360° Virtual Staging!!! Tell all your Realtor friends! 😊 According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR)*, buyers ranked photography, floor plans and virtual tours ABOVE video. The benefits of a virtual tour over video: 1) They are cheaper and easier to produce. Video requires a separate shoot from photography. Whereas high quality still photos can be pulled directly from the virtual tour. 2) You can still have video! The virtual walk-through can be recorded and used in your listings, website and social media. 3) Floor plans are included. With my virtual tours you will also receive the schematic floor plans at no additional charge. See the full-screen example of this room here: https://moonskymedia.com/360-virtual-staging-example/ Read the article I wrote on my blog on my website. #360virtualtours #3dvirtualtour #virtualtour #realestateagent #realestate #realestatephotography #realestatephotographer #realestatemedia #realestatemarketing #realestatetech #realestatetechnology *All statistics are taken from the 2022 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report form the National Association of REALTORS® Research Group.

I really like some of the architecture in Pensacola. This is the M.C. Blanchard Judicial Building. I couldn't find a lot of information on the building but I found that it was designed by William Graves and built in 1978. I personally love large concrete buildings in this Brutalist architectural style. And I really like the weathering on this building. According to Wikipedia: "Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design. The style commonly makes use of exposed, unpainted concrete or brick, angular geometric shapes and a predominantly monochrome colour palette." What do you think about this design style? . . . . . . . #architecturephotography #brutalism #architecture #pensacola #pensacolaarchitecture #realestate #realestatephotography #architecturalphotography

I've been watching a lot of science fiction lately. This water tower reminds me of some of the miniature models in sci-fi movies. To me, it looks like it's been hobbled together with pieces of random plastic models and some glue. Man, I love that sky! #pensacola #streetphotography

So I think I found what may be the coolest house in Pensacola. I was actually intending to photograph in the park across the street. But when I saw this house, I was blown away. I just had to take pictures of it. This isn't a typical real estate photography style. I am developing my own look for street photography. Let me know what you think. If you own this house, please, please, please let me take interior photos of it. #pensacolastreetphotography #pensacola #downtownpensacola #pensacolarealestate #realestatephotography

The American with Disabilities Act applies to websites as well as physical spaces. Small businesses like restaurants, healthcare, and real estate are not immune to receiving demand letters, complaints and even lawsuits. Making your website accessible is the right thing to do. There are literally millions of people who are "locked" out of certain websites because they do not have easy access to them. Providing needed accommodations to people with disabilities ensures that your website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. Some of the things that your website needs in order to be more compliant include focus, color contrast, alternate text, accessible forms and page structure. If you have a website, check with your developer to see what you can do to be in compliance. I have partnered with AudioEye to help my clients ensure a hospitable website experience for visitors with disabilities. If you would like a free ADA audit of your website, DM me. #realestatewebsite #floridarealestate #realestate #websitedesign #websitedevelopment #adacompliance #realestatewebsitedesign #realestatemarketing #realestateagent

There's a general rule in Real Estate Photography, that we never shoot vertical because of the way images are displayed on the MLS. But social media favors vertically formatted images and videos. So you may find yourself cropping your images vertically. To help you decide best composition for vertical format, keep these things in mind. - Include objects such as chairs or coffee tables in the forground to ground your images and to balance the visual weight of the photo. - Look for leading lines to guide the eye toward interesting objects or spaces in the background. - Long vertical lines can help keep the composition feel natural. Include small "vignette" scenes of intimate spaces. - Images with large tall objects were made for vertical formats. - Landscapes should include interesting objects in the forground so the eye moves vertically rather than horizontally. I usually like to include open space in the background (like an open doorway), to give the feeling of three-dimentional space and movement. As if you can walk right through the image. If you are a Realtor, I hope these tips help you in choosing the best images to showcase your properties. If you have any questions, fell free to DM me. #realestatephotography #architecture #photography #realtor #realestate #luxuryhomes #luxuryrealestate #interior #house #realestateagent #interiors #househunting #architecturephotography #architecturedesign #realestatelife #pensacolarealestate #gulfbreezerealestate #navarrerealestate #navarrerealestatephotographer #gulfcoastrealestate #kapwing

Sometimes you want to have the fireplace burning for your real estate photos. But it's usually not practical to start a fire on the day of the shoot. That's where photo editing comes in. When adding realistic fire, you have to keep in mind how fire looks to a camera versus how it looks to the human eye. Because this fire is supposedly burning during the day with all the lights on in the room, it wouldn't necessarily photograph well. The flames may actually be invisible or so bright that you can't get a good exposure. When illustrating realistic fire, you want to add glow, color and motion blur to make it convincing. Also, you want to add just enough effect to make it look real but not to take away from the details of the rest of the house that is being showcased. I hope I did a good job of that here. Let me know what you think. #realestatephotography #realestatephotographer #photoshopedit #fireplacephotoedit #navarrerealestate #navarrebeachrealestate #navarrebeachphotographer #navarrephotographer #realestatelistingphotography #santarosacountyrealestate

Now offering 360° Virtual Tours! These kinds of tours have shown to be very effective in helping to sell your properties. With the Pandemic and the rising cost of gas, people don't want to be driving from house to house. Now they can tour a property from the comfort of their own home. Did you know that you (actually, your avatar) can also be inside the tour with your potential client as they virtually walk around the property? You can be pointing out features of the home as they walk through it. Pretty neat, huh? If you are a Realtor with a property in Navarre that's at least 1700 Sq Ft, please DM me! I need to get more of these 360° Virtual Tours into my portfolio. So I am offering to do one for FREE if you purchase still photography from me. DM me and I will go over the details with you. #360virtualtour #virtualtour #realestatephotography #navarrerealestate #navarreflrealestate #navarrebeach #realestatephotographer #navarrerealtor #nwflorida #nwfloridarealestate #navarrebeachrealestate #navarrebeachrealtor

Which to you prefer? The first image uses my standard editing process. In the second image, I added a custom LUT (look up table) that I am thinking of using for most of my images. It's kind of a signature look that I am trying to develop without taking anything away from the photo. What to do you think? #realestatephotography #destinrealestate #destinrealestatephotographer #interiorphotography

Welcome to Destin, Florida! The trend in Real Estate photography is something called the flambient technique. That's when an image is created by blending an ambient exposure with one or several flash exposures. The flash overpowers the ambient and will give you very clean and bright (generally white) walls and ceilings. The ambient exposure leaves in subtle natural shadows and highlights. It's a good way to take a very clean shot. After all, real estate photography is a form of advertising and clean, bright images are preferred. However, I prefer to shoot with natural light only. I will bracket my exposures and blend them together to produce a high-dynamic image. But I really don't like the outside exposure to be so dark that it looks unnatural, or all the ambient color removed that the image starts to look more like a rendering. These images were shot without flash. Let me know what you think. BTW, I will shoot with the flambient technique if requested. #flambientphotography #hdrphotography #realestatephotography #interiorphotography #destinflorida

If your property has a swimming pool, you'll want to make sure to include it in your listing photos. But don't neglect how it looks! A pool is such a big asset to your property (especially if you intend to rent your place), you want to make sure it is photographed at its best. One thing that I've run into a lot are dirty pools with floating and submerged leaves; scum on the pool walls; the pool vac doing its thing right in the middle of the pool; floating toys and tubes and furniture in disarray. Of course, Photoshop can do wonders, but that adds unnecessary time and money. One other thing... When photographing a pool, be aware of your surroundings! I know of a photographer who was so focused on looking through the viewfinder, he accidentally fell in the hot tub. 😂 #destinflorida #vacation #vacationrentals #realestatephotography #beach #beachhouse #floridavacation #

Haven't posted any real estate photos in a while. Here's a sample of some of the work I've been doing lately. I had a bunch of images that I was considering posting. I culled them down to the few I thought were the best. I didn't notice until now that they are all single point perspective. I guess that's becoming my favorite view. Tell me what you think... #singlepointperspectivephotography #realestatephotography #architecturephotography #30A #panamacitybeach #destin

"Stories" Every one has a story. And I like to imagine the varied stories of the people in this photo. There's more to this picture, but I really like this crop. It's less busy than seeing the whole image. However, there are more people, more stories in the image you can't see. And I think that's kind of poignant itself. #bwphotography #streetphotography #streetphotographer

I don't know... I have a thing for empty chairs and old houses. You don't have to like it if you really don't.

I wish I had thought to ask the homeowner to pose for this portrait. Oh well. When I am photographing interiors, I have a bunch of rules to follow. After all we're trying to sell the space. But sometimes I'll find a composition that just makes me take the shot. I didn't turn this image over to the client, but I really like it. Shows that a real person lived there and for a long time. You can almost imagine someone, year after year, sitting at the foot of the bed staring at themselves and their imperfections. #theimagetellsastory #artinphotography #interiorphotography #realestatephotography

So this is why I shoot without lights. Using flash or artificial light would wash away the shadows that fall onto the couch. Sure, some people may prefer that those shadows be removed, but I like to leave them in. It shows how the light actually is in the room. Also, it hints that there is a big window (in this case, sliding glass door) off frame. The room looks natural and warm. #realestatephotography #realestatephotographer #photography #architecturalphotography #hdrphotography

Not exactly a great shot for Real Estate. But there's something about this composition that I love. Hello there, rule of thirds!

"Cute cloud. It's almost as if you just placed it there..."

This is a photo @gigichicken took with her phone. She wanted me to backup her phone and I came across this and other pictures she took. I love the values in this photo. Originally it was in color but it lacked the depth and contrast with how much green was in the picture. If this was an Autumn scene it probably would have worked better in color. But look at the depth the right half of the picture has with the brightest leaves in front and the darkest tones piercing into the image pulling your eye right into the picture. Also notice how the horizontal line of the landscape peaks behind the woodshed keeping you in the picture. So does that dark spot on the bottom prevents you from wanting to leave. I think this is a remarkable picture and shows how even a simple camera phone image can still make a great photo! . . . . . #bwphotography #bwphoto #woodlandphotography #photoediting #photographyasart

I like studying the old masters' paintings to see what can be gleaned and used in my photography. I've really been into one-point perspective and one of my favorite painters is Pieter De Hooch. Almost all of his interiors are one-point perspective, but he often includes a doorway as a way out. This adds to the 3-dimentional look of his paintings and draws the viewer through the painting, not just around it. Using this method in real estate or architectural photography, asks the viewer to step inside the image and hints at more to be seen. Tell me, do you like my expounding on photographic technique? Or would you just rather see cool photos.

While we were driving to Arizona, I asked @gigichicken to take some pictures of the overpasses in Texas because I thought the view of them had good structure and composition.

I've been studying the old masters' architectural paintings. Especially axial plane technique (aka one-point perspective). I never really appreciated it's use in photography because it can tend to give your photo a bowling alley look. But if done right can really give your photo stability. Gotta make sure those verticals and horizontals are spot on. The last pic is a sample of Vermeer's "Music Lesson." At first I don't think you even notice it's painted on the axial plane. In photography, those strong lines, including the angular leading lines draw the eye right into the photo giving it strong depth. . . . . . . . #architecturalphotography #realestatephotography #onepointperspective #stabilityincomposition #photographiccomposition #interiorphotography #architecture #realestate

Testing out the #FujifilmXT30 for night photography. I was shooting handheld so I ended up going a bit high on the ISO. Which was a good test of ISO noise. Also, I exposure bracketed and was surprised how fast this camera shot off five exposures. Makes me pretty confident that I coud shoot HDR handheld after all.

I want pizza!

This was done using HDR. After merging 7 exposures, I just needed to adjust the overall exposure, color cast and clarity. I also painted in some subtle spot lights here and there just for that extra "pop." #realestate #realestatephotographer #realestateemeraldcoast #realestatephotography

Is anyone a Realtor or knows someone who is? I'm shooting again. About this image: the before pic is straight out of the camera. It's one image shot in RAW. No HDR on this one. Swapped sky and removed that weird pipe in lower right.. Also corrected perspective and lens distortion. And if course, corrected the color. Please let me know what you think. #realestateemeraldcoast #realestate #realestatephotography #realestatephotographer
