The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Week 13

Every week we’ll be featuring the good, the bad, and the ugly of real estate photography.  Our ‘Wall of Shame’ features the bad (…and oh yes, the very ugly…) photos that some agents are using for their listings.  On the opposite end of the spectrum, our ‘Wall of Fame’ features some of the most stunning photography agents are currently using to market their listings.

Also, be sure to check out our new Photography Tips of the Week (tips that will help your photos stay off of the Wall of Shame! :))!

By shooting just the corner of this room, focusing more on the furniture than the space, it ends up looking much smaller than it probably is. This is a $489,000 listing in New York.
