A fire turns a living room into a home
Adding fire to a fireplace is one of the oldest tricks in real estate photography. A lit fireplace gives the room a focal point and a feeling of warmth that an empty hearth can't.
A focal point
Flames draw the eye to the fireplace, often the feature that sells the living room.
No fire on site
No logs, no matches, no smoke and no waiting for the fire to catch while the light changes.
No compositing by hand
No hunting for a fire photo and blending it into the hearth in Photoshop. It's one setting.
A fire that sits in the hearth
Zoom in and the flames sit behind the screen and inside the firebox, with a soft glow on the surround. The brick, the mantel and the rest of the room stay as you shot them.
Three steps to a lit fireplace
Fire in fireplace is a setting of Auto HDR, the Stager AI editor for real estate photographers. It runs as part of your normal edit.

Empty fireplaces come back with a fire and a soft glow, merged, color corrected and ready to deliver.
A fire that looks like it was there
The fire is added inside the firebox, with a gentle glow on the surround. No pasted-in flames floating in front of the hearth.

Only light a fireplace that works
Add a fire to a fireplace that can really be used. If a fireplace is decorative or sealed, leave it empty, and label edited photos where your MLS or portal asks for it.
Part of every Auto HDR edit
Fire in fireplace is a setting of Auto HDR, not a separate product. Each edited photo uses 1 photo credit. Plans start at 10 photos a month, and unused photos roll over.
