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

  1. 1Photograph the facade in even daylight, straight on.
  2. 2Choose how warm the interior light should read.
  3. 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.
