| Hi everyone, When a client orders virtual staging, do they usually want one main photo of each room, or multiple angles? I’m Roderick, the founder of virtualstagingflow.com. I’ve included a few multi-view staging examples below, with the original photos and staged results, to give this discussion some context. Looking at a room like these, what would a typical client of yours order? One view: just the main shot of the room. Two views: the main shot plus a view from the other side. Three or more views: a fuller set showing the room from several positions. Thinking about your most recent virtual staging job, how many views of each room did the client actually ask for? If you only delivered one, was that all they needed, a budget decision, or was keeping the staging consistent across angles a concern? I’m trying to understand what photographers need on real jobs. Any comments on the staging in these examples are welcome, too. Thanks, Roderick         |

| I have been providing virtual staging photos as an option for over a year. Only recently (3-4 months?) have I found the ability to generate and offer multi-view staging. I charge $10 per photo. For one recent bare condo, the agent used 19 virtually staged pics to effectively present the entire space. There were double views of the two bedrooms, kitchen, dining space, living room, and bathrooms. That is the first time I delivered more than 7 virtually staged photos. That condo really needed some help to showcase it because of local competition and the weak condo market. In reply to your question, I think listing agents will be satisfied with one staged shot for the bedrooms and bathrooms. In the living areas it would be especially wonderful if multiple rooms could be staged with multi-view staging: dining and living, kitchen and family room. I tried to do that for the condo and it was a laborious process using 2-3 reference photos to try to get the system to place the furniture accurately. One room took 30 tries with the text directions and still didn't get it so it was usable. Charging $10 per photo, I can't spend very long fiddling with getting multi-view staging to look accurate! |

| @Dataventurer This is incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing the real-world example. What I’m taking away is that multi-view staging doesn’t necessarily need to be used everywhere. One staged view may be enough for bedrooms and bathrooms, while the real value is in larger or connected living spaces — living/dining areas, kitchens, family rooms, etc. And your last point really stands out to me. At $10 per photo, spending time on 20 or 30 attempts just to get consistent furniture placement simply doesn’t make economic sense. The workflow needs to be much closer to: upload the different views, tell the system they belong to the same space, and get a usable consistent result without all the fiddling. That’s exactly the problem I’m trying to solve. Thanks again — this kind of real-world feedback is extremely valuable to me. |
