Tip 1 Please send photos that are approx. 3x5, 4x6 or 5x7. DO NOT SEND 8x10s, slides, transparencies or Polaroids.
Tip 2 Photograph and send as many shots as you can. Remember, I've never seen your house before. The more photos you supply me with, the better idea I'll have as to what your home looks like.
Tip 3 If there is a garage or other large object on the front of the house, try not to shoot that in the foreground. See the examples to the right.
Tip 4 Mark the photo of the view you want for your final illustration. For instance, is the photo you want a straight-on front view or a slightly angled view as shown to the right? If a photo is not marked, I'll pick what I think is the best view from the photos you have sent.
Tip 5 If there are trees or other obstructions blocking a large portion of your view, photograph it anyway. Just be sure to include some photos with what is behind the trees or obstruction.
Tip 6 If you cannot fit the whole house/building in one shot, stand in one placed and shoot your photograph. Then (keeping in the same place) turn your torso to get the rest of the house/building in the second shot.
Tip 7 Include close-up photos of anything you may think is an important or unique characteristic of your home.
