Professional property and real estate photography

Most common questions

• • My house (apartment) is very small so I don’t need lots of photographs
    The minimal service package includes 20 enhanced photographs. Аnd it’s an optimal number to sell or lease your property successfully. The most of selling websites (like booking.com or AirBnB) require you to upload not less than 10 pictures. At the same time, it’s desirable to upload unique pictures of the same interior. Let alone the clients, who are interested to see the building from different angles and will all details, if they are going to buy it.
  • My house (apartment) is tiny, could you give me a discount?
    The smaller is the building, more difficult is to find good angles to depict it in the most flattering light. That’s why shoot of a small apartment takes at least the same time and effort as large one, if not more.
  • I’d to get my enhanced pics in a few days after shoot.

    Normally, processing time is 3 weeks. This is due to conducting other shoots and necessity to process them one by one in the queue. But it’s possible to do urgent enhancing for 3-5 days for an additional fee.

    • Urgent processing of 5 photos +3,000 THB.
    • Urgent processing of 10 photos +5,500 THB.
    • Urgent processing of 15 photos +7,000 THB.
    • Urgent processing of 20 photos +9,000 THB.

    Rush processing doesn’t mean worse quality. It’s a fee for moving your order up in the queue.

  • I need an aerial photo with the use of drone.
    It isn’t included in standard service package, but it’s possible. This kind of shoot costs 8,000 THB (only daytime or only at night) Cost of both day and nighttime shoot with the use of drone is 11,000 THB.
  • I need a video shoot with the use of drone
    Unedited video shoot costs same as photo shoot (it's required to order one additional hour of shoot). Editing and montage of 1-3 minutes video costs extra 5,000 THB.
  • Do you work in other cities/islands of Thailand?
    Yes. Service fee for Koh Samui is 16,000 THB and up.

    • For islands Koh Phangan and Koh Tao - 20,000 THB.
    • For other cities in Thailand - 30,000 THB.
  • Can you change colour of furniture, walls and other elements of interior?
    Yes. Most of time it can be done without extra money. But every case should be discussed separately. Но в каждом случае это нужно обсуждать отдельно. Anyway, we should not disappoint your customer’s expectations. For example if that person expected to see snow white walls and they turn out to be yellow - he or she will be obviously upset, and might leave bad feedback or cancel the reservation.
  • Can you remove furniture or other interior details from the picture?
    Most of time it’s too difficult. But every separate case needs to be discussed.
  • What if it rains? Can you replace the sky on the pictures?
    In case of rain it’s better to reschedule the shoot. Only sun can create specific atmosphere inside the building and sky replacement won’t be effective for that. Plus wet surfaces of windows, terraces etc. will give you away.
• • What time is the best to start shoot?
    If the sunlight hits the rooms in the morning, the best time is at dawn. Otherwise, it’s good to start at 8.00-9.00 am. Taking into account unpredictability of the weather, we might want to postpone shoot for a few hours.
  • How many unedited pictures do we get?
    It depends on the building’s size, or rather, on number of zones in every section/room. Most of time there are 1-5 zones in every section (for example, in a big bedroom there might be a bed, a table, a coffee table, a balcony). I aim to show every zone from 1-3 angles. Plus there a several types of light - natural daylight, twilight and artificial light. So it might yield from 3 to 40 pictures of one room.
  • What are your recommendations regarding selection of those 20 pictures?
    Normally it’s 2-5 pics of each room and 2-5 overall photographs. Superior are pictures that show benefits of your building.
  • Is the owner of the building supposed to be present during the shoot?
    It’s up to you, but it would be nice if someone was there to let us in, and if the owner was accessible in case when questions arise.
  • What would you recommend regarding preparation?
    • The rooms should look like a client is supposed to see them.
    • There shouldn’t be any dirty stain on shiny surfaces (windows, lacquered furniture etc)
    • Towels, robes, bath amenities should be placed in appropriate way.
    • If there are vases on the tables, they should not be empty.
    • Would be nice to check if all the lamps work well.
    • If there is a dinner table, you can set it minimally.
    • There might be magazines\books on the table.
    • If you are not sure about something, it’s better to remove it.
    • Would be better to remove domestic stuff (brooms, bins, remote controls etc.)
    • If there is a hanger, something should hang on it.
    • If you offer breakfast and want a picture with it, it should be prepared in advance.
    • Would be nice to get rid of the dust. It’s nearly impossible to remove in Photoshop plus it we will have to edit it on each picture separately.
    • Let us know in advance, whether you have some unique options, that require special attention.
    • Sometimes it’s worth trying to take the picture from a neighbouring house or hill. Please let us know if you have any ideas.
    • For romantic mood, you can use candles. They look best of all in glass candlesticks/vases.
