All photos of buildings need editing or retouching to correct for lens distortion
otherwise it will look like the building is leaning to one side. It's common to remove
distractions like power lines, poles, fire hydrants, bus stops, etc.
Most of my real estate retouching work caters to home builders, renovators, designers,
property owners, and businesses looking to enhance their office photos.
Home builders and renovators need stunning visuals to showcase the quality
of their work. After all, how can a potential client trust a company with
amateurish, unfinished photos?
Interior and exterior designers require high-quality images to effectively
convey the character and flair of their designs. Retouching ensures their
photos look polished and professional.
Commercial property owners seeking to enhance the images on their website
or other marketing materials can benefit greatly from retouching.
For companies showcasing their office or factory environments online, retouching
is essential to reflect their professionalism and commitment to quality.
Retouching brings the house to life and gives the photo maximum impact.

Wide-angle lens distortion is the bane of real estate photography and
it always has to be corrected. Retouching makes the photo more "readable"
by adjusting the exposure across the image.
As always, wide-angle lens distortion has to be corrected. Exposure
and colour usually have to be evened out especially when window light is
mixed with room light.
Retouching can help property photos shot in the early evening
look good.
Interiors need retouching to correct lens distortion and
balance the exposure between indoors and outdoors. Retouching
can also remove any personal items that shouldn't be in the photo.
Retouching helps a room look its best by balancing exposure and
colour.
Your eyes don't pay much attention to the colour cast, the lack of contrast
or the empty fireplace in the original photo. But once you see what retouching
can do, the retouched photo looks more welcoming.
Retouching makes this photo more readable because more
details of the kitchen are noticeable.
Photographing a house before the renovations are complete means
retouching is necessary to hide unfinished work and to illuminate
not-yet-functioning lights.
This photo shows wide-angle lens distortion correction in two
planes, both vertical (the walls and glass wall) and horizontal (the
stairs and the ceiling above the stairs).
Bathroom renovations are very popular. So builders and home
renovators need their bathroom photos to really stand out. Retouching
fixes lens distortion, colour and exposure. It can also remove any personal
items belonging to the homeowner that are visible in the photo.
A "clean" photo looks more professional so it's important to
remove any personal items from bathroom photos.
Bathrooms come in all sizes and shapes. A tiny bathroom may
require an extremely wide-angle lens. Retouching is absolutely necessary
to remove as much lens distortion as possible.
Retouching helps every bathroom photo look its best.
