What happens to the photograph
A dusk photograph is not a daytime photograph with a darker sky. Four things have to agree before it reads as real.
-
We start from your daytime photo
No second visit and no waiting for the light. The exterior shot you already have is the one we work from, so a listing that is ready to go live today still goes live today.
-
The sky and the light change together
A dusk photograph is not a daytime photograph with a darker sky. The windows warm up, the garden lighting reads, and the shadows fall the way they do at that hour. Getting those to agree is the whole job.
-
The property itself does not change
Every conversion is checked against the original for structural change. The building, the boundary, the paving and the planting are the ones in your photo. What changes is the hour, not the house.
-
Every image carries the disclosure
South African listings must not mislead a buyer about the property. Each converted image is marked as a digitally edited photograph, which is what keeps the listing compliant and the agent covered.
Which shots can be converted
The outdoor ones: the front elevation, the rear elevation, the garden, the pool. Interior photographs get photo enhancement instead, because the hour of day is not what makes an interior photograph work, and empty rooms get virtual staging.
Photograph the exterior in good, even daylight if you can. The same advice in our shooting guide applies: a clear starting photograph gives our team the most to work with.
Every converted image is disclosed
A South African listing must not mislead a buyer about the property. Each image we return is marked as a digitally edited photograph, and our disclosure policy sets out exactly what does and does not change. The building, the boundary, the paving and the planting are the ones in your photograph. What changes is the hour, not the house.
Common questions
- What is a day to dusk photo conversion?
- It is a daytime exterior photograph reworked to look as though it was taken at dusk, with warm window light and the sky in the last of the light. Listings lead with the exterior, and a dusk exterior is the shot that stops a scroll.
- How many dusk conversions do I get?
- 2 exterior conversions are included in every listing at R1199, alongside the staging, the photo enhancement and the written property description. There is no separate charge for them.
- Which photos can be converted to dusk?
- The outdoor shots: the front and rear elevations, the garden and the pool. Interior photographs are enhanced rather than converted, because the hour of day is not what makes an interior photograph work.
- Do I need to photograph the property at a particular time?
- No. Send the exterior photograph you already have, taken whenever it was convenient. Working from a bright, clear daytime shot gives our team the most to work with, which is the same advice that applies to every photograph you send.
- Is a dusk photo allowed on a South African listing?
- Yes, provided the buyer is told the photograph was edited. Every image we return carries that disclosure, and our published disclosure policy sets out exactly what is and is not changed in a photograph.
