Shoot Spec.
The demo shows one plan. This is the general form — 14 positions across eight room types, the list to forward to the seller, and the delivery spec the portals actually want rather than the one people guess at.
Positions by room
| Room | Positions | Lens | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living / reception | 2 | 24mm | Opposite corners. One toward the window wall, one back at the focal wall. |
| Kitchen | 2 | 20–28mm | Along the run first, then back toward the light. 20mm earns its place only in a galley. |
| Main bedroom | 2 | 24–35mm | Bed and window together, then the view out at 35mm — the view is the product, not the room. |
| Second bedroom | 2 | 24mm | Include the door so scale is checkable. Small rooms are the ones buyers distrust. |
| Bathroom | 1 | 24–28mm | From the doorway is acceptable here and almost nowhere else. Mirrors decide the position. |
| Hall / landing | 1 | 24mm | Only if it connects rooms legibly. A photograph of a corridor sells nothing. |
| Exterior front | 2 | 35mm | Straight on and three-quarter. Longer than people expect, because a house is not improved by distortion. |
| Garden / rear | 2 | 24–35mm | One from the house looking out, one from the boundary looking back. |
Forward this to the seller
- Every light on, including lamps and extractor lights, and every blind fully open.
- Cars off the driveway and off the frontage. Bins away, hose coiled, wheelie bins out of sight.
- Worktops clear except one deliberate object. Fridge front bare — magnets read as clutter at listing size.
- Toilet seats down, bathmats straight, towels matching and hung.
- Pet bowls, litter trays and beds put away for the hour.
- Beds made with the good linen. It is the single highest-return ten minutes in the house.
- Personal photographs turned down or removed — a buyer should be able to imagine themselves there.
Delivery spec
- Resolution
- 2048px on the long edge for portals, full-res files supplied alongside.
- Aspect
- 3:2 for interiors. Portals crop to 4:3 — we frame with that crop in mind.
- Format
- JPEG, sRGB, quality 85. Portals recompress; sending 40MB TIFFs helps nobody.
- Naming
- Ordered 01–NN in the sequence a buyer should see them, not in the order they were shot.
- First frame
- Exterior front, or the best room if the exterior is weak. It is the thumbnail and it decides the click.
- Turnaround
- Next day before noon as standard. Same-day on request, booked in advance.
The order a buyer should see them
- Exterior front — the thumbnail. Everything else is downstream of this one.
- Main reception, best angle.
- Kitchen.
- Remaining reception rooms.
- Main bedroom, then remaining bedrooms largest first.
- Bathrooms.
- Garden and rear exterior.
- Floor plan last, where it is easy to find and easy to save.
Portal requirements change. Where a portal's current spec and this page disagree, the portal wins — send us the spec name and we will match it.
