It's a common tip for getting a house sold:  don't skimp on the photos!  This Forbes article reminds sellers that there are so many poor photos of homes for sale that if you do a good job, it will set your listing apart and generate extra interest.  The same goes for selling services.  Last week a contractor asked me to take professional photos of a kitchen remodel and a bathroom remodel he had done at two different houses.  He is putting together both an online portfolio and a hard-copy portfolio he can display in order to get more gigs.  Here are a few pics from those shoots.

A wide-angle lens is key for showcasing what the entire room looks like.

Nice work, eh?  If you're interested in a remodeling bid I can put you in touch with him!

Just for fun, here's a pic I took of a neighboring condo building when we were living downtown.  I like the contrast of the gold city lights against the darkening sky and the blur of headlights whizzing by.  (Hey, that rhymes!)

Focusing the camera on upgrades or recent home improvement projects can help with renting or selling real estate too.  The following photos showcase a shiny new backsplash.
