Professional Property Photography perfect for any property, any budget, any time!

I've been using a camera professionally for more than ten years now which has allowed me the fine precision control that is required to capture interiors perfectly. I use every technique at my disposal including; precision optics and lenses, top quality and sturdy tripods, and fast, effecient external lighting, so no matter the time of day, the lighting within the house, or the weather outside, all the details are bright, sharp and visible in every photo. I utilize special techniques in order to achieve accurate and totally true to life color rendition in every single photo.

Do You Have Other Photography Options?

Yes I have a variety of photo shoot options specifically as it pertains to real estate and property marketing. In addition to the typical, wide angle listing photographs, I also provide photo for Airbnb hosts. Specific requests for commercial properties - everything from newly installed equipment to entire shopping malls. Interior design and vignettes focused approach to property photography is perfect for stylists, stagers, home builders, and renovation teams - it provides close up views on all the beautiful fixtures, finishes and materials in a property.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Photos are turned around within 24 hours of shooting, and often within the same day! I provide a large selection of images for realtors so the choice is yours when it comes to which ones to use on the MLS listings and your feature sheets. For your convenience, I provide the images under an unlimited non-transferrable license so you can use the photos in just about every way you can imagine to make sure that property gets the attention it deserves.

How long will it take to photograph a property

I need to spend approximately 45 minutes inside the average property of 2000 sq ft. if I am shooting photos only. Adding additional services or larger spaces requires more time spent within the property. It is best to have the property completely staged before I arrive ready to photograph it. Please see my staging suggestions for some ideas to help your images stand out beautifully.

What size are the photos?

I deliver them in a very high resolution that allows each photo to be printed as a full page at typical magazine size in photo quality.

Is there a photographer's watermark?

There is never a photographer's watermark or photo credit attached to any photograph I deliver for real estate, property or architectural photography for a paying client.

How Do you Provide Fast Turnaround and Affordably Priced?

I have developed a number of proprietary techniques including software and hardware that help operate my property marketing business specifically. I leverage this investment in my business research and development in order to provide consistent professional products, at hard to compete with rates, with a focus on maintaining low cost for all of my clients.

Do you use AI or Machine Learning?

Yes, some of my workflows have been built around the use of Artificial intelligence and Machine learning techniques. They are all built in house, trained in house, on exactly the datasets they're working with - my own photos. This has allowed me to be incredibly productive with my time and incredibly consistent with my product for delivery.

Any Tips to Be Ready For my Shoot?

Yes! So happy you've asked. Being well prepared and staged for photos facilitates the greatest number of photos at a property, in addition to having each one being higher impact. I do not recommend 'staging on site' or 'moving things as we go'. Working with a stager or stylist is the best way to achieve this, but I can provide a PDF of helpful tips for your property shoot!

How Do You Stay Consistent?

I visit a lot of properties, for a lot of clients, with a lot of different 'intents' to the materials i create. I have developed specific workflows for each situation and environment I frequently work with which help ensure all around consistency in my deliverables.
Consistency with my second shooters is equally important. I am hired for the photographic and design decisions I make, and am known to make. For that reason, complete training is a core tenet for all second shooters and photographic editors. Generally everything stays in house for this reason of consistency as well, and total oversight over the finished products and every stage of production.

Will you travel?

I work primarily photographing architecture and real estate in Collingwood and The Blue Mountains, and I will travel to the surrounding areas of Thornbury, Wasaga Beach, Owen Sound, Meaford, and all over the Georgian Bay Area
