Ever noticed how some listing photos look dull and dark while others look bright and magazine-ready? That’s usually the difference between a smartphone snapshot and HDR real estate photography.

What Is HDR Photography?

HDR (High Dynamic Range) combines multiple exposures into one photo, balancing the brightest highlights with the darkest shadows. The result: crisp, vibrant photos where every detail pops.

HDR Tips for Galveston Real Estate

1. Use a tripod: Prevents blur when blending exposures.
2. Leverage natural light: Morning and late afternoon give the best tones.
3. Declutter & stage: Less is more. Clean counters, fluff pillows, remove personal items.
4. Balance indoor and outdoor views: HDR makes it possible to show both a bright living room and the ocean view outside.

Why HDR Matters Locally

Galveston homes often feature large windows with stunning Gulf views — HDR ensures buyers see both the interior and the scenery without one being overexposed.

Pro tip: HDR makes every property feel more inviting, which translates into more showings and stronger offers.
