I was assigned by a local holiday let company (Edinburgh Flats) to shoot a simple but lovely single bedroom property on Polwarth Terrace, Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

\"Interior
Backlighting, namely having the light come from a window in the frame, is my favourite lighting scenario. It is tricky technically, as you will undoubtedly realise if you try to take a picture like this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Interior
The light is flatter in this set up, but I have no choice if I want to show all there is in the room, in particular the storage facilities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The place is quite central, in a quiet area and with easy access to public transport. A great place to stay on your Edinburgh holiday. Nevertheless, it is essential to properly market this flat with photographs that do it justice in order to maximise its earning potential.<\/p>\n

\"Interior
The living room of this flat is relatively small, but very comfortable and contains all of the amenities you would wish for.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From this angle you get to see the rest of the living room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I like to use natural light in the photographs to give a better idea of what it\u2019s like to \u201cbe there\u201d. It is my preferred style of real estate photography. Note that it does require combining multiple photos in post-processing because the camera can\u2019t possibly cope with the range of light and shadows one typically encounters.<\/p>\n

\"Interior
I guess quite a few holiday makers won’t make use of the kitchen, except may be for heating a pizza. But it is nevertheless important to showcase this part of the property as well and do it justice.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Interior
I love to take detail shots of the kitchen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It is much easier to light the interior with flash as the entire scene can be captured in a single image, simplifying the post-processing process in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

\"Interior
I always stress how important it is to show an immaculate bathroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Luckily for me, it was a beautiful day when I was asked to take photographs of this property, so I could also get a nice exterior picture as well.<\/p>\n

\"Exterior
I have to take pictures of holiday flats when they are vacant and that doesn’t necessarily correlates with nice weather. This time however, it all worked out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
