Real estate photography — Victoria, BC

Every frame earns its place on the listing.

An extensive suite of real estate photography and marketing services across Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island. A small team, shooting the Island since 2011.

Selected work

What we make

Four ways a listing gets photographed.

  1. 01

    Editorial photography

    The core service, shot in an editorial style rather than a documentary one. Interiors on a levelled tripod, verticals true, windows exposed so the view is actually visible. We are not stagers: how the home is presented is between you and the vendor. On the day we will square a chair or move a bin out of frame, and shoot it at its best from there.

    • 30–70 finished frames depending on size
    • MLS, web, print and social crops of every image
    • Window-pull and sky replacement where the weather refuses
    • Delivered in a private gallery, named and ready to upload
  2. 02

    Aerial & drone

    Transport Canada RPAS Advanced certified and insured, which matters in Victoria: most of the peninsula sits inside controlled airspace and needs authorization before anything leaves the ground. We handle that filing.

    • Elevated stills for lot lines, setting and shoreline
    • 4K aerial motion cut into the property film
    • NAV CANADA authorization handled for controlled airspace
    • Fully insured
  3. 03

    Sunset or sunrise

    The single highest-performing frame on most luxury listings, and the hardest to fake. We return for a dedicated sunrise or evening visit, light the interior room by room, and shoot the twenty minutes when the sky and the windows balance.

    • Dedicated sunrise or evening visit, weather-rescheduled free
    • 3–6 finished exterior frames, front and rear elevations
    • Interior lighting pass so no room reads dead
  4. 04

    Agent & developer branding

    Work that isn’t tied to one listing: headshots that don’t look like headshots, sold reels, team films, and full launch packages for multi-unit developments.

    • Editorial portraits, on location rather than in studio
    • Brand films and market-update series
    • Presale and development launch packages
Investment

Quoted per property, not per hour.

A 1,400 sq ft condo and a 7,000 sq ft waterfront estate are not the same job, and a rate card pretends they are. We price on square footage, the number of visits the light demands, and what you need delivered, and we tell you the number before we book.

Nearing capacity

A limited calendar.

We take on new clients when it’s a fit both ways. We put real time into the people we work with, and there’s only so much of it. Send the address and the timeline and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.
