Camera & Exposure
Bracketing
Shooting the same frame at several exposures — typically 3 or 5, from dark to bright — so an editor (or software) can blend the best of each. The raw material of quality HDR interiors.
On a tripod, brackets take seconds per composition. It’s the most mechanical skill in real estate photography and one of the highest-payoff ones.
Why it matters for your listings
One bracketed set per room is the difference between "the window is a lightbox" and a photo where buyers can see the backyard they’re paying for.
