Good stuff. Similar to atticfire's before/after gallery:

I love these before-and-after comparisons. I've thought about adding something like it to my own web site ... if I could just figure out how to do it :-)

@ JEREMY: Good post and link, thanks. Makes you think about composure of the entire "shot". I tell my crew it is not about snap of the shutter, but how you "compose" the image. !!

Very cool. I like these before & after shots. Really shows what can be done with careful preparation and great photography/processing.

I'm new to the business, but I decided early on, after seeing Attic Fire's before and after strategy, that that was the way to go. I agree with Jeremy that there's tremendous educational value in this, though for right now I'm only intending to teach the agent that there's a clear and obvious advantage to hiring me.
So here's my attempt at it: http://robertcrumphoto.com/site_html/index.html#/gallery-text/. (Note that not all the images have "before" shots.)
Not as dramatic as the link Jeremy posted nor Attic Fire, but I hope to add drama and better photos as business picks up and I accumulate more photos.

Very good, Robert! How has it been received by agents?
Two small suggestions: the transitions are a little slow - I'd try to make that a bit "snappier". And the "before" photos: I'd crop the FOV on them - so they look more like the 28mm/35mm lens on the agent's P&S.

Jeremy,
Really I'm so new at this, I haven't even taken it live to show agents yet. Haven't even had a job yet, though I've been doing weddings and portraits for years. Mentioning the web site here in this groups is, more or less, its unveiling. The interiors are from the houses neighbors, family and friends, and the exteriors are from a day spent in Portland driving around shooting houses for sale from the street, just to show some sky replacement (always a need for that in the Portland winters).
I have to admit that I originally thought about reducing the FOV for the "before" shots to show what a point-and-shoot would produce, but was worried that viewers would think that my thumb was too clearly on the scale -- that I was making the "before" photos worse than they should have been. But now that I think about it, showing a reduced FOV would actually be more honest. Maybe if I included a brief explanation.....

Don't overdo the explanations, Robert. This is showmanship, not science ;.-)

Im not that fond of that attic fire look, it works for some imagery, but for me not for this. However there is plenty to discover in the staging and composition, that 2nd pool shot is a stunner...

Interesting that they chose to add people to most of the shots. Certainly makes sense for hospitality, probably not for RE. Although if you work in a particular neighborhood a lot, it might be nice to do a lifestyle shot or two (golf course, neighborhood restaurant scene, etc.).
