There are certain rooms in certain houses that we must include 3 walls. Don't be afraid of 3 wall shots if you have something to show viewers.

I agree that professional looking pictures make a big difference in marketing a home. I am always looking for ways to improve what I do. I am by no means a professional. I just want to take my photography up a notch above where I am now, and where most real estate agents live forever. Great site! Thanks.

The three wall shot has multiple vanishing points which confuses the eye because you don't know which one to focus or concentrate on. If you were to crop out the wall on the right, the image would be less distracting. The two wall shot is more pleasing to the eye because there is only one true vanishing point.

(And two-wall shots because they all are at an angle). When shooting straight - at a right angles - I achieve a more pleasant feel, show the relative size and have less left over barrell distortion after correction. I wish you had one more three-wall shot straight on to allow for a level floor and ceiling line for the comparison.

However I agree that the 2 wall does leave room for the imagination, and if it get the phone/email working, it's done its job. As pp's, we seem to be the only ones that see that bent verticals etc!! And if the vendor and agent prefer these, I always give them the choice of the 2 and 3 wall shots. Perhaps in the lower photo , if the RH wall and ceiling was cropped out, it would still give that connection anyhow...and we'd be back to the 2 wall rule!!??...:-) Funny…as a real estate shot, I preferred the 3 wall, as it showed “connection”; which is what buyers are often looking for..how rooms connect.
