Like many of us, I got into photography when our kids were growing up. It was all film, and developing seemed to take forever and cost a fortune. The hot ticket was a 35mm SLR; then digital replaced film, Photoshop replaced print labs, and DSLR’s became the buzz with bigger sensors and higher resolutions coming out every year. Mirrorle
Like many of us, I got into photography when our kids were growing up. It was all film, and developing seemed to take forever and cost a fortune. The hot ticket was a 35mm SLR; then digital replaced film, Photoshop replaced print labs, and DSLR’s became the buzz with bigger sensors and higher resolutions coming out every year. Mirrorless digital cameras got rid of the bulky mirror systems in DSLR's, replaced viewfinders with display screens, and the technology race and choices just kept accelerating.
So…… does it really matter what equipment your photographer uses? Not so much. If it’s the latest and greatest, it won’t be for long! What really matters is what your photo/videographer does with it.
Most realtors want wide angle shots to show off the space, attractive lighting and composition, and favorable editing. We use the Sony A7M3 mirrorless system with full frame sensor and 24 MP resolution. We shoot as wide as 12mm up to 70 mm, a great range for real estate interiors and exteriors. Remote triggering can get the flash off the camera for better control of lighting and multiple flashes where needed.

Professional drone photography was a natural extension of flying radio controlled model aircraft for many years. We started into drones with the DJI Mavic Pro, a 12 megapixel "Pro-Sumer" camera drone. The 4K stabilized video and striking photos were perfect for real estate listings and construction progress documentation. Most of the early photos and videos in our portfolio were recorded with the Mavic Pro.
The Phantom 4 Pro with its 20 MP sensor and global shutter was the ideal growth path for greater zoom-in resolution, larger size for layout print media, and demanding technical markets (see the Construction discussion next door). Of course, all our equipment, both ground and aerial, is backed up for continuous reliability.
"Love (the photos)! Looks amazing! Thanks so very much for your attention to detail." Barbara Ferguson Wilkinson ERA Real Estate

Construction needs run from simple progress updates to complex orthomosaic mapping and aerial surveys. Each project presents unique challenges for technology, equipment, regulatory coordination, adverse weather, multiple deliverables for multiple clients, and many others. If you have a construction project in need of photo or video support, let's talk.
