Re: Real Estate photography

Have to disagree there Rita,

I have been seeing a major change in RE photography here lately. 
Especially
in the high end market, they are really going for the higher quality style
of shots.

Nearly all of the affluent suburbs produce high end glossy magazines which
require very good quality shots.  But the clients are paying for the
service, which makes the property stand out amongst the hundreds listed.
