When scrolling through galleries of photos for residential (and some commercial) properties, it always seems like the perspective is off. But each picture seems a little differently off – almost like a fisheye lens, but not. What are they using to do that and why has that “look” become industry standard, even when we all know the pictures aren’t true to life?
In: Technology
Real estate photos often have that distinctive “look” because they’re usually taken with wide-angle lenses, which capture a broader view of a room and make spaces appear larger than they are. This technique not only makes small areas look more spacious but also creates a bit of distortion that can make the perspective seem off, similar to a slight fisheye effect. These photos are heavily edited to enhance appeal, making them a standard in the industry to attract potential buyers by offering a more inviting first impression online.
