Clean, declutter, organize

“One of the most common mistakes that I see, and the most visually prominent in every photo, is not enough effort being put into decluttering.  The home being photographed is being modeled to all potential buyers and therefore needs to look like a model home, meaning the less personalized objects in view, the better.  Hide things in closets, unfinished basements and garages, those are areas not normally photographed.  When you are done preparing for the photo shoot, if you feel uncomfortable in your own home and can’t find your shoes, you did the perfect job.” –David Bayer, Bayer Creative Imaging
