How to take the Perfect Picture for Virtual Staging

Do not use fisheye lenses

1. Do not use fisheye lenses

Photos that use fisheye lenses will have a curvy outcome. The room will not look proportionate and parts of it will be more prominent than the rest. These kinds of photos are not usable for Virtual Staging as the final outcome will look distorted.

2. Focus on the picture so that it is clear and not blurry

A blurry picture is not usable for Virtual Staging as the final outcome will not mesh together as the background is blurry while the furniture is HD.

3. Phone or camera should be held horizontally

Hold the phone or camera horizontally. Keep in mind that the picture should not have too much ground or ceiling.

4. Curtains or window blinds should be uncovered to have natural lighting and reveal the room’s look

Not pulling up the blinds or uncovering the curtains will cause the room to look dark. Photos that are going through Virtual Staging will look better having a brightly lit room as a base.

5. Switch on all the ceiling lights in the room

Switching on the ceiling lights in the room will give additional lighting that is essential in making the room to look bright and be a good base photo.

6. Switch off portable lamps

Portable lamps that you wish to be removed for the virtually staged photo should be switched off! It will cause inconsistent lighting and unwanted shadows if it is on.

7. Put aside objects that are covering fixtures and textured walls

Ensure that the objects are not covering too much of the fixtures— built-in furniture, sink, oven, and textured walls, this gives the editor more information to use during the decluttering process. This will ensure that the room will not look unproportionate.
