How will I get access to the images?
You will receive an email where you can click a link and download a .zip file that will contain all of your images. This is the easiest and most reliable way to send many large files at once. The email will either come from 'WeTransfer', or 'Dropbox'.
Do you touch up all of the photos?
Yes, I individually edit every image for quality and consistency. Editing includes but is not limited to brightness/exposure adjustment, white balance correction, leveling and vertical correction, contrast and color enhancement, minor blemish and artifact removal, lens distortion correction, blue sky and green grass replacement on primary front exterior images, and additionally, a proprietary workflow method that makes each image stand out from other architectural photography.
Why should I hire a professional photographer for my project?
Architectural and RE photography is known throughout the industry as one of the most difficult and advanced of all the genre's of photography. As you move through a home or business and photograph different spaces, the ambient/natural lighting from outside combined with the interior artificial lighting of a scene is constantly changing. With every slight move of the camera left, right or angled up, down, this difficult lighting confuses the internal light meter of the camera in a big way. Unless you know how to manage the light and adjust/compensate the brightness levels that your camera captures of a given scene, it would be extremely difficult to render a scene in a natural and appealing way. In addition, how a photographer composes a scene and arranges the elements of it in an artistic and attractive way can help an image be conveyed powerfully. It can be the difference in a potential customer glancing at your home or business for a second or less and leaving, or being intrigued, taking more time with that image, then moving further into your listing or business website.
How far do you travel?
The main service area covers the greater Charlotte area, 50 miles from city center, but I have traveled all over the Carolina's. Travel outside of the state of North Carolina can be arranged as well depending on the project. Travel fee's are reasonable, please let me know and we can come up with pricing that makes sense.
How quickly will I get my photos after the shoot?
The goal for every shoot is to have the final images delivered within 30 hours of the appointment. That said, every project is different, and there are cases where more time will be needed. It's not often, and we will let you know at the time of the shoot if this is the case.
