Modern phone cameras have got considerably better in recent years. More megapixels than you can count on your fingers and clever automatic processing to get the best out of every photo.

So why shouldn't you completely forget about professional photographers when photographing new properties and just do it yourself with your phone After all, it's much quicker, much cheaper and much less hassle!

On the face of it, it seems a perfect idea, however there are three main problems that you'll come across when using your phone to take photos of your properties.

Lens Distortion
Phone cameras have small lenses when compared with your typical Professional SLR, which introduces what is known as Lens Distortion. This is where the lines of perspective are highly angled and can make a room look small or an exterior shot look out of proportion.

Colour Balance & Exposure
Whilst some phone cameras have a good amount of automatic processing built into them, you'll often find that the colours in the photo still don't look quite right. This requires a personal touch on each photo, to adjust the colour balance, exposure and all sorts of other settings, to get the photo looking perfect.

The Weather
Well this is something that even the most expensive cameras can't control! Unfortunately with the weather in the UK as it is, you can never guarantee a nice sunny day when you need to take photos of a new property. A picturesque blue sky will inevitably increase the appeal of a photo, but the chances are that you'll have to make do with a grey and dreary background.

The Solution
The solution to these problems is to use a combination of your phone camera, along with a professional property photo editing service.
