The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Bathroom Feature
After seeing photo after photo of real estate agents (and others) caught front and center in the mirrors of their bathroom photos, we thought a Wall of Shame/Wall of Fame Bathroom feature was in order!!
The question with this week’s Wall of Shame is this: How can a buyer focus on the actual bathroom itself with people in the mirror (when the focus then becomes the fact that this is a photo of someone taking a photo)? I guess on the plus side, it takes away from the number of other problems with the photographs (poor composition making the rooms look even smaller than they are, etc).
I get that bathroom spaces are often small and can be difficult to shoot (though 2 of the 3 examples shown here are actuallyof decent sized bathrooms), but there are ways around getting caught in the mirror…check out our Photography Tip from 11-20-09 on shooting small spaces for some helpful tips and tricks to avoid becoming the center focus of your bathroom photos!
