Thoughtful composition separates compelling real estate photos from mere snapshots. While there are no hard and fast "thou-shalts" in photography, using established composition principles can lend your photos a natural balance and harmony.
Implement these simple guidelines to move your photos from amateur to eye-catching.
It's easy to use the rule of thirds--just imagine your picture divided by two equally spaced horizontal and vertical lines. Align the most important elements in your image along those lines to add interest and draw the eye.
The below photograph by Chad Jones is a great example. The cabinets occupy the outer vertical thirds, separated by the mirrors. The very inner third acts as the heart of this photo, its focal point an attractive bathroom.
Bonus: Many modern cameras will let you overlay a rule-of-thirds grid on the LCD screen as a built-in composition guide.
