The first visit to a home happens on a screen. Before walking through the door, the buyer has already decided whether they want to see it. My job is to make that first impression true to the home, and your preparation helps a lot.
What to prepare before the session
There are three things I ask of you before starting.
- A tidy home. You see the space and not the surplus objects.
- Lights on. They add warmth to the corners that get less natural light.
- Blinds up. Natural light comes in and the windows show the outside.
Before the session I send you a checklist so you can go through it calmly. There are three things I do in every home. I arrive with everything planned, work fast without losing precision and deliver on time.
I take care of the rest. I leave out of the picture what is not needed, such as loose cables. I edit so the home looks true and attractive, but I do not change what the space is like.
What I photograph
I do real estate photography for agencies, owners, rural accommodation, hotels and holiday rental homes. For an agency, the material is ready for portals, web and social media, with a consistent style across the whole portfolio.
I photograph interiors, exteriors and surroundings in natural light and wide frames, so the real proportions of each space can be seen. I work with full frame gear and edit every image one by one. I correct the verticals and take care of the colour so it is true to the materials. Then I order the gallery so that it guides the viewing.
The number of photos depends on the square metres of the home.
- Up to 80 m², 15 to 20 photographs, for studios and small flats.
- From 80 to 150 m², 20 to 30 photographs, for flats with 2 or 3 bedrooms.
- From 150 to 250 m², 30 to 40 photographs, for large flats and detached houses.
- Over 250 m², tailor-made, for country estates, villas and unique properties.
The services are on the page for real estate photography. If there is no rush, I wait for a sunny day. If there is, I do the session as soon as possible.
In the Chalet Salinas you can see what I do with a whole house, from the garden to the attic.
Delivery, video, drone and 3D tour
The photographs arrive within 24 to 48 h by link, in sizes for portal, web and print. They include a licence to market that property on portals, web and social media. Other uses are agreed separately.
The video is shot during the same visit. It is a stabilised walkthrough of 1 to 1.5 minutes, with editing, colour and music. I also make a vertical reel of 30 to 45 seconds for Instagram and TikTok. Both arrive within 3 to 5 working days.
With the drone I take 8 to 12 aerial photographs of the surroundings, the plot and the access routes, according to the regulations and the flight zone. How I work with those rules is in this article about the drone. There is more on the page for aerial photography.
The 3D tour is done with the agency's software and camera, or with my 360 camera. The buyer walks through the home from their phone and understands the layout before asking for a viewing. It is delivered in 48 h. There is more information in 3D virtual tour.
To refine the result there are some extras, such as the sunset session, with exterior and interior lights on, object removal and virtual furnishing.
How to book
Services can be booked separately or as a pack.
You book by WhatsApp or email, with the address and the approximate square metres. Cancelling is free with 24 h notice.
We commissioned this photographer to shoot our house in Asturias and we could not be happier with the result. He captured the essence of the place, the light and every detail perfectly, making the house look even better than in person. The service was also very friendly and professional from the start. Excellent value for money. We would definitely hire him again.
