before – after – image processing

The work behind the scenes

In addition to an eye for the essentials and the right perspective, professional image editing is crucial for meaningful and effective architectural and real estate photos.

Time required

Unfortunately, I keep realizing that most people don’t really realize how much time and effort goes into editing the images. The photographer doesn’t come to the shoot, presses the button, downloads the pictures at home and then sends them to the client by return of post. No!

Image processing is the work step that is ultimately decisive in the war and often takes a lot of time. At the same time, image processing is a science in itself, for which various software applications must be perfectly mastered. This information is extremely important, as it naturally also influences the working time – and therefore also the price – for an architectural and real estate photographer.

In my blog, I wrote a post about what I do as a real estate photographer as part of an assignment. Interested? then please click HERE.

Examples

Here are a few examples that give a good impression of why professional image editing is so important. All you have to do is move the slider on the photos to see the “before and after” effect.

My final images usually consist of several photos. I only ever use a certain part of each individual photo, which then flows into the final image. I use this technique to set accents in order to emphasize relevant image content accordingly. At the same time, unwanted image content can be replaced, e.g. by replacing the sky. This combination of different techniques produces first-class real estate photos. For me, the natural look of the pictures always has priority.
