Sometimes A Photo Needs A little Help


Sometimes a photo needs a little help.   Take the photo shown above, for example.  
A feature of the home being photographed is a large built-in wood stove – pretty obvious, huh.    The problem is that it looks cold and messy. That morning after look.  It’s hard to imagine this shot having the positive effect on a potential buyer that the agent wanted.  This is where a little post-production Photoshop work helps out. 

The agent wanted the photo to evoke a feeling of warmth and romance.   Of course we could have actually created a fire, but that option had a number of downsides to it.  We opted to create the look we wanted in Photoshop.   The result is the photo shown below. 








There’s a limit to what you should consider doing in Photoshop – it’s important that the changes don’t misrepresent the property.  For example, if power lines are in an exterior shot, they must not be removed.  

If you want more information on this topic,  leave me a comment.  I'll respond as soon as I can.
