What is HDR Photography?

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is the process of taking multiple photographs at different exposures (light levels/brightness). Then using a software to merge those images together to form one exposure that would be similar to the way the eye sees. This is the most commonly used style for real estate.

Here are some example exposures that would be turned into an HDR image.

At Real Estate Exposures, we take pride in our images. Below you will see a basic HDR image that has been processed to merge the files together. This is the type of image our competitors return to their clients. We believe that this doesn’t show the true beauty and dynamics of a house.

Here is an example of our processing — it takes the basic HDR image and improves upon it. It is a proprietary editing that we have developed to offer our customers the highest level of service and beauty!

– More accurate and natural colors
– More accurate whites in ceilings, moldings, doors, etc.
– Window Masking to ensure super clear windows
– Perspective Correction (making sure lines are straight)
– Wide angle lens distortion correction (no curved lines at the edges of images)
– Editing a blue sky in all exterior photos when not a sunny day (great for those rainy days!)

Example of before/after blue sky replacement:

Before/After competitor vs. Real Estate Exposures

Notice the difference in quality of colors and whites, the clarity of windows, and perspective correction!

We can now take any daytime image and convert it to a twilight image. This saves money on getting those awesome twilight photos since we don’t have to come shoot the property at sunset and charge another full shoot fee. These images are only $19 for the first and $10 each additional per property. A great way to make your front photo stand out when buyers are searching hundreds of listings online.
