Answer:
for photographing house... check every corner of your frame and make sure there is nothing you do not want in your photo...ex...wires, dead trees next do not shoot at noon, very contrasty...keep it to early morning or later in the afternoon.... shoot long shots, some where you fill your frame and then detail shots..... if you want the house to look bigger shoot up at it... don't use a fish eye or too wide an angle lens it will distort you image... also if you can't fit the house in the frame go 3/4 and shoot from the corner of the house

take something that's abstract, taking in different angles and have some colour (natural and untouched), have some objects and interesting stuff not just a blank page. Think of the effect you want your picture to have: -happy -sad -angry? It helps to make your shots more defined.

You will get lot of good expert opinion out there. But I think keeping it simple always helps. Try to take picture of the house before noon to avoid the top light. If its a country house you can take the pictures in the late afternoon with the sunlight and shades playing well on the structures. ultimately its how you look at the composition and your own sensibilities which make up a great snap. All the best.

No 'arty' pics please these are strait forward 'record' shots, don't try to enhance whats not there, just a straightforward shot of what IS there warts and all. A polarising filter can help to help to get rid of burnt out sky's is about as far as I would go. And I might remove the dustbins round the corner. LOL Ask your employer what they want. Chris

depending on how creative you want to be... a polarizer on the front of your lens will up the contrast and give your sky a boost.. to make a building look taller kneel down... use a wide angle lens so you can get in close and move away from unsightly objects.. clone out rubbish/ litter and if you know the owner then get them to adjust curtains etc for a better aesthetic look

To get good detail in the shadow areas, it is best to shoot on overcast days. Do try to avoid high noon on bright sunny days. You might need a somewhat wide angle lens for big sprawling homes, don't use a fisheye, though, way too much distortion. Morning or late afternoon light is also flattering, on houses as well as people. The best way to show a house is to attend to the curb appeal. The most artistic shot in the world won't make an overgrown yard, or one filled with junk look any better.

fish eye or wide angled lenses :)

THE SUN---- Go once to your location and then see which direction the sun is and which way your house faces. Then go back during the time you like and take the picture. The lighting has differents effects and the sun your biggest obsticle. Never have the sun behind the house or you will get horrible shadows.

Look at the direction of the building will the sun be on it in the morning or afternoon Ask people if they will move cars for you. ect Use photo shop to line up the walls of the building to the photo, clean up images and enhance the colour Use a wide angle lens for inside Again use the time of day and the direction of the sun to show of the inside at its best (nothing better than a room with the sun shining in) Look at everything as a buyer would. Show the good points good garage, new bathroom or kitchen but also any little details that are good for filler photos like expensive tiles, light fittings or taps shoot the good things and not the bad Shoot every thing then you can pick out the best shots later Good luck, I hope this helps
