Image Quality & Post Production
All of our property images are post-produced and edited using Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop to ensure vertical and horizontal lines are straight. Essentially, we provide custom images for every property that’s photographed to ensure clients receive the highest quality imagery possible. All images are taken at 2400 x 1602 pixels at 150 dpi which is perfectly suitable for both property data feeds, printed marketing material, and desktop monitor displays up to 27-inches wide. Colour refraction and other anomalies with lighting will occur in images. That is, most light bulbs produce an amber colour (temperature, kelvin degrees) which is edited to reduce the intensity yet still provide “natural” manmade lighting. Images are always first edited to the “white” objects in the room such as baseboards or ceilings. Customers will be asked whether they prefer lights on or lights off during a photoshoot.

Delivery of Images
Images are digitally delivered before 9:00 AM the following day of the photoshoot, including weekends and holidays. Image download links will remain active for up to six (6) months after date of shoot, with some images and links remaining active “for the life of the photographer”. After six months from date of photo appointment, and at the sole discretion of London Estate Photography and photographer Frank Biganski, images may be deleted and purged from our online Cloud storage system without notice to client.

Therefore, it is strongly advised that clients download and save their images to their own electronic device as soon as the images are delivered and received.
