Rennie\u2019s Isle is a wonderful location in Leith. It is close to The Shore, a lively area with many restaurants and pubs. It is also a short walk away from the Firth of Forth. It is ideal if you, like me, like strolling along the sea shore.<\/p>\n

\"Living
It was a lovely flat, and I needed to do it justice. With the windows in the shot, it was not possible to capture the whole dynamic range of the image in one picture. It took three photos blended together in Photoshop to produce this realistic looking image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Professional photography for your property has quite a number of benefits that make it a worthwhile investment.<\/p>\n

\"Bedroom
I really love back light, and this is my favourite shot of this bedroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Bedroom
For completeness, I always take a shot from an other angle if some aspect of the room is not visible\u00a0in\u00a0the first photograph. In this case, the mirrored wardrobe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first impression of your property people are likely to get is from the pictures on your website. Showcasing the house or flat with good photography is therefore likely to elect more interest in viewings.<\/p>\n

\"Bathroom
Professional photography can really pay off for bathrooms. You want them to be looking clean and fresh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The more people you have interested in renting\/buying your property, the more likely you\u2019ll be able to rent it at the best possible price. It\u2019s just the law of supply and demand, with limited supply.<\/p>\n

\"Kitchen
A nice kitchen can be a wonderful asset in renting or selling your property. It should not be overlooked. And as in the case of the bathroom, you want it to look clean and fresh in your marketing photos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Kitchen
It wasn’t possible to capture all of the features of this kitchen in one single photo. I therefore looked for another angle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you have more candidates, you\u2019ll have more choice in selecting your tenants. Better tenants will better take care of your property, saving you money in maintenance and repairs.<\/p>\n

\"Bedroom
The view from this bedroom is clearly a valuable asset. As in the case of the living room photograph, it took a number of shots blended together in Photoshop to create this image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Bedroom
For documentary purposes, I also took a photo of the same bedroom from a different angle to show the mirrored wardrobe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While I\u2019m not a landlord looking to rent a property, I imagine that knowing the property management company is going to market my rental flat with good photos signals they are willing to go the extra mile in terms of customer service. And I imaging that the more luxurious the property, the more important to the landlord good photography is. And given that property managers take a percentage of the rent, expensive properties are more lucrative and probably more fun to manage (they clearly are more fun to photograph).<\/p>\n

\"Exterior
Exterior shots can be tricky, given the temperamental nature of the Scottish weather. On this day, it was cloudy, so I tried to limit the amount of sky showing in the photograph. I also love diagonals, as they give pictures a more dynamic look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
