Recent Real Estate Marketing Photography
This is a selection of photos that I did for the marketing of a luxury home
in Los Altos, CA. It was built by the RJ Dailey Construction Company, which specializes in high-end homes. The quality of the home is very high in all respects and was quite enjoyable to photograph.

Recent Real Estate Photography-707 Westridge Drive, Portola Valley , CA
These are examples of the kind of interior photos that real estate agents tend to like: quite wide and showing a large amount of the room. This kind of view presents some significant technical challenges. The placement of supplementary lighting tends to become much more difficult because there are fewer places to position lights without them appearing in the scene or causing reflections (at least to achieve attractive lighting). Frequently one must place lights within the scene and move them around while doing several exposures. Then the exposures are combined in Photoshop and the lights edited out.
An additional challenge is wideangle lens distortion. While all wideangle lenses distort to some degree, the type of very wide-angle lens used for this type of composition can cause a considerable amount of distortion. Real estate agents tend to be less concerned with this type of distortion than, say, an architect might. Nevertheless, a conscientious photographer will try to mitigate the effect of such distortion by careful selection of the perspective and composition. Also, objects within the scene may need to be moved further away from the camera or away from the edges of the frame.

Congratulations to Matt Zampella
After 5 brokers had taken a crack at selling 5070 Alpine road in Portola Valley, CA, over a period of 5 years, my long-time client, Matt Zampella (Sereno Real Estate) was the one who sold the property, so congratulations are in order. Although located in a very desirable part of the San Francisco Bay Area, very large (the main house alone is 12,000 square feet) and relatively expensive properties such as this have a much smaller pool of prospective buyers than is the case with more mainstream properties, which often makes them harder to market and sell.
