It's always nice to photograph real estate that is perfectly prepped up with stunning staging! This makes a big difference in the outcome of the final photos.
Here is a real estate photography shoot in San Gabriel, CA, along with our thoughts during the shoot!

Whether we like it or not, we get flooded by some sort of feeling and emotions when looking at photographs of homes. We envision it being a nest for humans and are quick to judge if we like it for ourselves or not. This is where different styles of staging can come into play.

Professional real estate photography highlights the rooms corner to corner, using a high-quality, wide-angle lens. We like to use Canon lenses since they have been around for a very long time and are known for their precise sharpness.

There are many great cameras out today that would be a great fit for real estate photography, and ultimately the photographer chooses what they want to shoot with. The opinions can go on and on, depending on who you ask.

Ultimately, professional photography is both a technical process and creative, even in the real estate business world.

At this San Gabriel real estate photography shoot, we were impressed with the high quality finishes and just-right staging to give off the luxury feeling today's buyers love in this area.

When it comes to luxury homes in the San Gabriel area, expenses are not spared. The best materials and workmanship are utilized to produce a residential masterpiece.

Buyers with the big bucks carefully scrutinize the real estate in this area, both of the material things and the intangible things like the market and its potential, economic forecast.

San Gabriel real estate offers many options. Many homes are new and beautiful, like this one, but there are also homes that are awaiting the buyer with a designer's eye to customize an older home to fit their desires.

When photographing real estate that has a distant view on a beautiful day, it is paramount to capture that. This is where professional photography techniques really come into play. No smartphone can capture the distant horizon, as seen here. The truth is, even a very expensive camera cannot capture this view without professional techniques in photography.

It is only wishful thinking for us to one day bask ourselves in a beautiful, luxury bathroom, like this one above :)

Last but not least, a spacious luxury home would be inadequate without a spacious walk-in closet, AKA "walking closet" in the SGV :) We'd prefer if you didn't understand that little joke!
