I was commissioned to photograph the interior of someone's house for sale last week, here are the first shots I've finished processing. These are all in the main living room/kitchen.

Got a small army of strobes? Those shots are excellent. What wideangle are you using? I know these kinds of shot are demanding on lens distortion.
 
I'm really surprised there's not more of a market for photographers to take promotional shots of houses going on sale. Some of the crap that the estate agents with their crappy little digis come out with really don't do anything to make houses look attractive.

Seems like you've got the hang of it - what's your kit list for something like this? Lovely wide, undistorted photos there - is that in PP, or an expensive-ass lens? :p
 
very nice shots, not my personal taste for a kitchen! Two and Four don't really work for me the beam to the top of No.2 is distracting because it is not level in the image. No.4 appears soft and has to much reflection going on which distract the eye from any of the finer details.
 
Excellent shots!

It's a very impressive house but perhaps a little too "clinical". I can't imagine it feeling that homely during the winter.

Why do most people position their wall mounted TVs so high up? :D

Yeh I did have some trouble with lens distortion, I tried to angle the camera and crop them so you wouldn't notice as much. Its all done with the internal lighting and daylight, no strobes :) they are all HDR shots carefully edited using photomatrix and lightroom. I used the canon 10-22 and 17-55 on these, wasn't overly impressed with the clarity from the 10-22.

The guy who's house it was said the real estate agency sent a guy with a compact with the flash held on with sticky-tape. So he told him to 'politly shove it' and called me lol.

Kit was 400D and Canon 10-22/17-55 +tripod. I'm saving up for a 24mm ts-e now along with a 5DMKII, will be really useful when I do more like this. Was my first go at internals.

Yeh I don't consider it very homely personally, I couldn't live there and at an asking price of £670k I can't afford to :p

Agreed, Numbers 1,3 and 5 are much better than the other two in my opinion.
 
It astounds me the level of rubbish with estate agents and property details.

The missus and I run our own estate agency and we get tons of business because of my photos. I use a Canon 40d with 10-22mm Canon Lens and post process the photos with photoshop. Some of our rivals are taking photos with their camera phones LOL!!

I deal almost solely with Estate Agents web sites, mainly plumbing in database applications to list their properties and I've yet to see any sales properties with internal shots as good as these, a job well done.

Good call on the TS, though I've only ever seen those used for external architecture shots, rather than internal. Would be interesting to see how that works out.

Well I'm an architect and do our practice's photography now so I reckon it'd be a good investment.

Just uploading the next 4 shots, not as good I'm afraid, mainly due to the paint colour on the walls messing the levels up.
