New York City · real estate photography

Show the property clearly. Plan access before shoot day.

For brokers, property managers and commercial owners commissioning NYC listing photography. Coordinate the rooms, building access and launch needs before the camera arrives, especially when a home is occupied or shared amenities require separate permission.

Plan your project →Compare packages

Inquiry first. Availability and final scope confirmed in writing.

white and brown living room set

01 / Choose the right scope

What does the session need to solve?

A standard listing, a premium property campaign and an interior designer's portfolio tell different stories. Start with what a prospective buyer or tenant needs to understand: layout, condition, light, features and context. Then decide whether twilight, video or another format adds useful information.

Common add-ons include extra retouched images from $45 for consumer work or $65 for business work, extra coverage from $175 per 30 minutes, and rush delivery from 25% with a $200 minimum. Studios, permits, styling, talent, specialty rentals, and travel are quoted before booking.

Does this fit your plans?

Send your preferred date, location and what you need delivered. Review relevant work from the proposed creative professional, then confirm the scope, delivery timing and quote before booking.

Free inquiry; no date reserved. Studio hire, permits, extra editing and usage beyond the agreed scope may cost extra and should be confirmed in the quote.

Ask about session availability

03 / Prepare a useful brief

Three things to decide before booking.

The property and its constraints

Send property type, approximate size, room list, occupancy status and the spaces that must be shown. Note stairs, elevator rules, restricted rooms and any features that cannot be photographed.

An access owner

Name the person who will open the property and authorize access. Confirm arrangements with occupants and building management in advance. The photographer should not arrive expecting a doorman or tenant to resolve an unannounced visit.

The launch plan

Share the listing destination, required orientations and publication deadline. Identify the decision-maker for final review and describe any requested editing that goes beyond exposure, color and perspective correction.

04 / An illustrative plan

Example: an occupied two-bedroom apartment

  1. 1

    Agree on a room-by-room list with the broker and resident. Put valuables, documents, family photographs and personal items away before the crew arrives.

  2. 2

    Start with the main living area when it is ready, then work through bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. Keep a space available for occupants and belongings that must stay out of frame.

  3. 3

    Photograph approved shared amenities only when access has been confirmed. Do not treat the lobby, roof or neighboring building as an automatic extension of the listing.

  4. 4

    Compare the final set with the room list and check that edits do not misrepresent permanent features or views. This is an illustrative workflow, not a fixed room count or turnaround promise.

NYC logistics

NYC co-ops, condos and managed properties may have vendor-registration, insurance, elevator and delivery requirements. Ask for the actual rules. Any aerial work needs a separate feasibility and permission check; a package description is not authorization to fly at a particular address.

Set the boundaries early

Cleaning, furniture moving, full staging, floor plans, virtual staging, additional properties, video and specialist aerial work should be confirmed explicitly. Do not infer they are included simply because they appear elsewhere in the catalog. Photography does not guarantee a sale, rental price or listing approval.

Before you make a decision.

Does the property need to be empty?

No, but occupied homes need a preparation and access plan. Decide who handles belongings and where occupants can comfortably wait.

Can you remove objects in editing?

Describe the request in advance. Scope and disclosure expectations vary, and permanent features should not be misrepresented.

Is this the right service for a designer's portfolio?

A listing prioritizes property information. A design portfolio often needs slower styling, material details and editorial compositions; use the dedicated interior-design brief for that work.

Usage and booking

Consumer packages include personal use, while headshot and model packages include professional self-promotion. Business packages can include website, organic social, recruiting, sales, press, and internal use. Paid advertising, outdoor campaigns, resale, and third-party use are licensed separately.

The optional $100 priority deposit after intake is credited toward the session but does not reserve a date by itself. A date is secured only after availability, scope, the booking agreement, and the required booking retainer are confirmed in writing.
