Property Photography Tips in Chiang Mai — How to Sell Faster with Better Photos

In an era where buyers and renters search online first, great photography is the single most important factor in selling property faster and at a better price. From 20+ years of experience, we know that properties with professional photography sell 3-5 times faster than those shot with a phone.

Why Photography Matters So Much

Key statistics
- 90% of buyers look at photos before deciding to visit
- Properties with professional photos sell 32% faster
- Good photos support 5-10% higher asking prices
- Properties with drone footage receive 68% more views

Step 1: Prepare the Property Before Shooting

Exterior
- Cut grass and tidy the garden
- Clean fences and walkways
- Remove cars and clutter from camera angles
- Turn on decorative exterior lighting if available

Interior
- Deep clean every room
- Remove personal items — make spaces look open and clean
- Open all curtains and windows to maximize natural light
- Add fresh flowers or small plants for life and color
- Check all light bulbs are working
- Tidy bathroom towels and personal items

Step 2: Best Times to Shoot

Recommended times
Morning (7-10am): Soft warm light, ideal for east-facing properties
Afternoon (2-5pm): Beautiful golden hour, ideal for west-facing properties
Avoid: Midday — harsh light and dark shadows

Step 3: Equipment

Camera
- DSLR or mirrorless always better than a smartphone
- Wide-angle lens (16-24mm) for interiors
- Tripod for sharp, well-composed shots

Drone
- Essential for houses, villas, and land
- Shows location and surroundings better than any other method
- Creates a first impression that stands out from competitors

Step 4: Composition and Angles

Interior techniques
- Shoot from room corners to capture maximum space
- Shoot at eye level — not too high or too low
- Use leading lines to draw attention to key features
- Capture each room from at least 2-3 angles

Exterior techniques
- Shoot the facade from a 3/4 angle, not straight on
- Show garden and outdoor areas
- Capture standout details such as pool, pergola, and garden

Mandatory Photos for Every Property

- Front exterior with entrance
- Main living room
- Kitchen and dining area
- Master bedroom
- Main bathroom
- View from balcony or window (if available)
- Garden and outdoor areas
- Drone shot showing location and surroundings
