Dusk Shot of the Exterior
A daytime photo of the house, at the hour it looks best.
What it does
Exterior remodels photograph flat in daylight — new cladding and trim show almost nothing under a midday sky. At dusk the lighting does the work, which is why it is the shot every listing uses and the one worth seeing before you commit to a colour.
How to use it
- 1Photograph the facade in even daylight, straight on.
- 2Choose how warm the interior light should read.
- 3Run it after any exterior remodel to see the result at its best.
Questions
- Does it change the house itself?
- No — only the light and sky. Use Remodel the Exterior to change materials.
- Does it work on any photo?
- Best on even, overcast light. Harsh midday shadows are hard to unwind.
