Week 46: Real Estate Shots

Week 46 Real Estate Photos of the Week

Which one of these is not like the other. I had the opportunity to shoot a couple great new modern homes today. I do love the modern homes and I enjoy the opportunity when I have the chance to shoot one. I love the clean square lines and the simplicity of this style of homes. This is a specialty I am looking to do more with.

Week 43: This weeks Shoots

Week 43: Photos of the Week

I decided to change things up a little this week. When I started this blog, my goal was to give myself weekly assignments in order to help me find the niche of photography I wanted to pursue. It became apparent around May that Real Estate/Architectural photography was the area I wanted to shoot most.

From this point on I started to build my portfolio by going to open houses and meeting and talking with different real estate agents. I knew I needed a great portfolio in order to prove my ability as a photographer to the agents I wanted to become clients. The portfolio turned out great and I have a client list that is slowly growing.

What I plan on doing now, until the end of the year, is to showcase some of my favorite shots from my photo shoots I do each week. On to a growing real estate photography business.

Week 42: Autumn

Week 42 Assignment: Autumn

It is that time of year again, when the trees change colors and the leaves cover the ground like a layer of snow. I tried to capture a variety of autumn settings and situations, from a colorful row of trees, to sunbursts through the leaves, to a close-up of a small pile of leaves, to the leaf covered hiking trail. There are many autumn scenes to be captured, try to experiment a little.

Week 41 Assignment: Converging Lines

I use converging lines a lot in my architectural photography to lead into a scene compositionally. Lines can help lead you into an image and towards the subject of the image. The converging lines are actually the subject in the photos above, but you can see how you can use them to lead to an imaginary subject that could be in the photo. If you check out previous posts and also keep an eye out on upcoming posts, you will see many examples of the leading technique. Infinity is part of the physics of vision; two parallel lines going into the distance automatically go there, so you my as well use them to your advantage.

Week 40 Assignment: Public Transportation

To continue on my Public theme, I chose Public Transportation this week. We got a new light rail system in Seattle that goes from downtown to the airport, so I decided to check it out and go for a ride. The system is getting better, with lots of money and a long way to catch up to the growing population. If you need it, you have many public transportation option available from the extensive bus system, this new light rail, and also a commuter train. Many expansion plans are in place to help make us a metropolis some day.
