We Use Expensive FLASH Instead Of HDR. Let Us Tell You Why.

When 95% of the real estate photography world uses HDR, why would USHomePhoto use more expensive FLASH? Because at USHomePhoto, quality is everything.

To put things into the simplest of terms, just think about the last time that you got portraits taken. Unless you were outside in the bright sunlight, the photographer most likely used a big umbrella, and a FLASH to light you. Why did he do that? Because FLASH is brighter, smoother, more color consistent light, and provides the very best lighting for color acccurate photos. For the very same reasons that your portrait photographer used FLASH, every photographer at USHomePhoto uses FLASH for all interior shots.

Photo Brightness
One of the common issues with realty photography is that rooms or areas of rooms can fall dark. This is often the case when using HDR photography because HDR uses the natural lighting of the room to create the image. When an area or room in a photo is naturally dark, then the room will appear dark, and un-illuminated in the photo. When shooting with FLASH, we can illuminate all areas of the photos including adjoined rooms, and darker areas so that the photo has a consistently bright look throughout the photograph. In the photo "Biz", we call this "Inter-Photo Exposure", and ours is the best in ... the biz.

If you take a quick look at this photo, you will see that all areas of the photo are equally bright, and that no part of the photo falls dark, even though with an HDR shot, there would have been large areas such as those in the back of the photo that the kitchen is visible where the photo would have been noticeably dark without the aid of powerful flash equipment that our photographers use on every single shoot.
See Through Windows
One of the "trademarks" of a quality real estate photograph is whether or not the windows are property exposed, or whether or not they are "blown out". In the image below, you can see an example of a typical HDR photograph where the windows are blown out. This is a common trademark of HDR photography, and not one that would normally be desirable for a high-quality MLS photo.

Typical HDR Photo With Blown Windows

In the image below, you can see that the windows are properly exposed, and allow the viewer to see through the windows to the beautiful back yard. The rich green color, the lush yard, and the amazing view through the living room windows.

Flash Photo With See-Through Windows
Reduced Glare & Reduced Strong Shadows
Let's take a look at the same photos again, but this time, take notice of the glares in the standard HDR photo below. Notice how much more glare their is in the floor next to the right-hand side of the photo, and near / under the piano in the other room.
HDR Photo With Strong Glares

Now, take notice of the very reduced glares in the FLASH photo below. When using FLASH photography, we can reduce, and almost completely eliminate glares in floors, cabinets, counters, and more because we control the light, instead of it controling us.
FLASH Photo With Greatly Reduced Glares
Color Correct
How often have you gotten back a set of photos where there was a lot of orange or yellow, or blue cast to areas in the photo? This happens due to color correction activities by the editor of the photos. With HDR photography, the photograph is generated by using the light inside the room to create the photo. This type of light is called "ambient". A photo created using "Ambient" light will take on the characteristics of the lights in the room. If the light is "yellow-ish", then the photo will take on a "yellow-ish" tint to it. This is referred to as "color cast".

Many times, you will see blue reflected in the floor, or green from the grass outside, and while this may be interesting if you're going for the "psychedelic" look, it's not the best for high-quality MLS photography. Often, an editor will attempt to correct this color cast but this correction can actually cause other issues within the photo, and often does. Take a look at the photos below, and the differences between a shot using HDR, and a FLASH shot. The color cast issues are completely gone in the FLASH shot. This is a trademark of an expertly created photo.
HDR Photo With Strong Color Cast

Now, take notice that in the FLASH photo below, there is little or no color cast from ambient lighting. When using FLASH photography, we can reduce, and almost completely eliminate color cast because flash is beautiful, and accurate WHITE light which is not subject to color cast, and actually elimintes existing color cast that may already exist in the area / room.

Our Editing Team Is In-House

USHomePhoto has an all in-house editing staff, and a two-stage inspection process for every edit. We could tell you that the cost of an in-house editing staff v.s. sending our photos out to an outsourced resource costs us about double of what it would cost to send our photos overseas for edits, or that we wanted to control the photos every step of the way, or that we didn't want our clients to have to wait 24 hours for edits like so many other photography resources, or that the fact that USHomePhoto uses FLASH instead of HDR causes most editors to break out in cold sweats, but..... Instead, we just say this.... Quality Is King, and USHomePhoto will do whatever it takes to ensure the very highest quality possible. Period.

Additional Services Pricing

USHomePhoto services cover just about anything you could need for your listing photography. You will see that our "add-on" services are quite inexpensive to begin with, but when you combine your broker pricing index, these services become extremely affordable, and would compete easily with an in-house photographer's pricing model.

The USHomePhoto Job Management System

We have one of the most sophisticated, and easy to use web portals in the industry. Our web systems allow full control of your jobs from top to bottom in many different ways.

USHomePhoto allows for almost any variation of implementation of our service capability to meet your changing needs. You can set up a designated person in your office to manage the jobs, or allow each Realtor to manage their jobs, or just let USHomePhoto handle the job management for you. Either way you go, the price is still the same.

Brokerage Assistant Managed Jobs

You can assign a single, or multiple brokerage assistants to manage all jobs coming in, and that one person can easily manage all jobs for every Realtor in your brokerage from their web portal. They can; create new jobs, check on schedule dates, re-schedule, pay for, download photos, communicate with photographers, and if needed, communicate directly with the USHomePhoto concierge staff should additional capabilities be needed, or questions arise.

Team Assistant Managed Jobs

Much like an assistant managed scenario for the entire brokerage, teams can also assign their own team assistant to manage the jobs for their team.

Realtor Managed Jobs

As part of our web portal, each Realtor in your brokerage can manage their own job input, scheduling, etc. They would simply log into the website, submit new job requests, make payments, re-schedule jobs, etc.

USHomePhoto Managed Jobs

Of course, you can always just let USHomePhoto handle everything for you. Give USHomePhoto’s concierge a call, email, or text and schedule through us at no additional cost or charge. We are more than happy to handle everything for you. With extensive email, phone, and text communication, we keep everyone informed, and ensure that your shoots happen without a hitch. Your Realtors, and/or broker’s assistant can always log into the system at any time, and make necessary adjustments to jobs as needed.

Fully Customized Implementation

Each brokerage can use whatever service capabilities that they prefer… Maybe you have an assistant that manages some of the jobs, but some Realtors prefer to manage their own jobs, while others just want to pick up the phone and call USHomePhoto directly.

Maybe you have a large team that prefers to have their assistant manage their jobs, but on occasion needs the brokerage assistant to fill in? No problem, our management system can handle that.

No matter which solution works for your brokerage whether it be a standard or fully customized management implementation, there are no additional charges, and the pricing model we settle on for your brokerage won’t change no matter which solution works best for your Realtor family.
