A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hey there. Is there an app people use for this? I know all these realtors are not paying for pro photography pictures. (Some are For sure.)

But There must be something they are using ion their phones. Anyone any clue what it is? They don’t know Photoshop— I know that much—but the pictures have clearly been processed in a pleasing way. I assume there must be an almost one click solution for realtors these days.

What is the average realtor using for this process? They must be shooting on the phone and using an app, I just don’t know what they’re using. Any clue?

I have “real gear” in the form of older dslrs and glass, but I’d honestly rather photograph my place with my phone, and I know that’s what a lot of the realtors do as well.

Thanks in advance!

I’m a realtor (worked in different States) and 99% of professional agents (those who sell more than 5 homes a year and take some pride in their work) use professional photogs. These photogs are not the highest level because we have time constraints. We have to get 20-50 pics within 24 hours. So editing is not that elaborate. And photographing + video takes about 2 hours for a 3,000 SF home, that’s the most we get.

You can tell if photos are iPhones because of the angle limitations, it’s not easy to shoot every room in full with a phone. Lighting in interior shots is also an issue. And most agents are TERRIBLE, you can tell when it’s iPhone pics.
