My name is Triston Ioppini owner of TriMotion Media and I am a professional Real Estate Photographer and Videographer! (See Portfolio)

Here are some of my tips for getting your home ready for a photo or video shoot!

The goal is to create a warm, inviting space that will help show your home in it’s best light!

OUTSIDE:

  • Try your best to hide your cars

    • Option 1: Park cars on street/sidewalk a couple houses down so they won’t be in front of the house

    • Option 2: Hide cars in a discreet location that you don’t think will get in the way of any shots

    • Option 3: Park cars in the garage if the garage won’t be photographed

  • Roll up and/or put away any/all hoses

  • Tidy up your front and back lawn

  • Hide outside trash cans

  • If you have a pool, take out the pool sweep and hose
