New Work from Brian Doherty Photography

Ive been to a lot of amazing homes lately in and around the South Shore of Boston. Each home had its own unique set of challenges to photograph. But its those shots that force me to work harder and improve my skills each and everyday.

My First Real Estate Magazine Cover !!

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a great holiday season and did something fun to ring in the new year. 2012 is starting off right.  Things over here at Brian Doherty Photography and Design have been WICKED busy. Very excited to be on the front of The Real Estate Book. This is my first cover (hopefully the first of many). This was such a beautiful house in Hanover, MA.  In order to get the whole house in the shot, I had to stand on top of my car with my camera attached to a 7 ft mono pod.  Lucky nether myself or the camera lost our balance.

In Real Estate a Picture is worth Thousands of Dollars.

A picture is can be worth a thousand words.....  in Real Estate its worth thousands of dollars. Next to listing a property on the local MLS and the internet, making the property look attractive to buyers is the most important thing an agent must do. With 80% of home buyers shopping for a home online (according to the NAR), the way your listings look is an important factor, if not the most important, in generating buyer interest. It's no secret, better-presented homes get more traffic and more buyer interest, therefore selling faster. More than ever, your listings must stand out from the crowd.

Its Been awhile

 Its been a while since my last post and I was going threw and purging photos when I came across this antique boat I shot in Boston Harbor last summer. This is probably one of my favorite photos I have done and though I would share. I took it with my Canon G10 which is a great camera by the way. Thats all, short and sweet.

Simple Home Staging For a More Appealing Photo

Here is a example of how a little simple home staging can greatly change the look and feel of a photo. Below we have a nice small table in a well lit room. Its cozy, bright and clean but it lacks any real wow factor. The chairs are pushed in under the table and the table is empty and boring. The space basically feels dull and uninviting. In order to change the look and feel of the room, I spent about 3 minutes preparing it to be photographed. Luckily every thing I needed was already in the home.

I am by no means a professional home stagger, but I do know that the key to home staging is to present the home in a manner to which potential home buyers can envision themselves living comfortably in the home. So I took a small plant from the kitchen, salt and pepper shaker and added some colorful funky plates and mugs. Adding these few things greatly improves the over all look and feel of a photo. Another easy thing to make the space more inviting was just a matter of opening up the chairs. As you can see doing so creates a much more flattering composition.

Preparing Your Home for a Home Focused Photo Shoot

The online images of your home have to impress a buyer in 15 seconds or less before they dismiss your property as a non contender. Gone are the days when any old photo will do. If your images don’t look professional you risk losing a buyers interest in just a "click". As t

he saying goes “you only get one chance to make a first impression” so why waste it.

Below is a checklist given to Realtors so they may in turn provide it to the homeowners.
