Luxury Real Estate Photography in 2020

One of the best parts of being an architectural photographer is being able to see so many beautiful spaces. One of the most fun and diverse subjects we shoot is luxury real estate. From high-rise condos, to sprawling desert villas the range of luxurious spaces covers a broad spectrum of lifestyles and personalities: from lavish and indulgent socialites to Vegas cronies to stately suburbanites. It is satisfying to both the eye and the curiosity to be able to peer inside the closed doors of the well-to-do. Have a look at some of the photos we’ve been able to create in the first half of 2020.

Selling a House with Photos

Making a house sell with photos is a process. It always helps to have a good looking house to shoot, but more than that, it is important to have it clean, uncluttered, and, if not professionally staged, arranged in such a way that furniture and décor don’t distract from the image. Shooting for real estate means presenting a space in a way which shows possibilities, which makes the viewer think of all the things they would do with it. At the same time, shooting for real estate also means maintaining the character and personality of the home.

We recently had the chance to shoot this older Vegas estate home which was recently renovated and made into a California-style Spanish-modern mini-estate (whoa-there, hyphens)! With wide-open space inside and out, the house feels bright and airy–with warm wood touches that make one feel right at home. Here, our goal was to capture the spaciousness of the interior and to sell the stand-out features of the home including abundant windows, a spiral staircase and modern kitchen. Delivering over 100 images, the seller had options in selecting the best images for the MLS. We narrowed it down to 5 for this post.

Take a look!

Commercial Real Estate Photography 2018

We’ve had the chance to shoot medical properties for Ensemble Real Estate for years and this summer, we were able to capture images of their the new Henderson Medical Plaza next to Henderson Hospital. A clean and modern space, the new facility posed nicely for some beautiful marketing. Starting at dawn, we were able to capture all the images they requested in less than two hours–with no disruptions to their normal operating schedule. We hope you like the photos!

Capturing the Mood of a Property

It’s great to be part of the sale of a beautiful home. We work with a lot of great agents that take pride in the work they do–both listing and showing homes for sale. A good agent does a lot to close a sale–from the hard work of marketing, to dealing personalities (not always charismatic ones), to piles of paperwork, and in the end, doing whatever it takes to make something happen. And now with so much of the process of buying and selling properties taking place online (especially viewing properties before you visit them), the agent needs to provide online listings which capture attention and get people in the door. Great photography is the starting point in this process. Having gone from a luxury to a necessity, the photographs you have online are the single biggest draw you have for a property.

Every home has a visual selling point, that a good photographer will try to capture and encapsulate in a single image. Take a look at some recent photos we took of a beautiful home in Green Valley. Using the backyard foliage to frame the foreground in the above photo, we created a scene which emphasized the mood that the lush landscaping gives to the backyard. Paired with crisp, solid images of the well-maintained house, this listing will stand apart from its peers.

Whether you need to make a property look better that it does in person, or whether you need to make sure it shines in photos like it does in real life, professional photography makes all the difference when selling a home.
