01What to Look for in a Property Photographer

Here are the key things to consider when choosing a property photographer:

Experience with your property type. A photographer who specialises in new-build apartments will approach a shoot very differently from one who works primarily with thatched cottages or commercial offices. Ask to see examples similar to your property.

Turnaround time. In a fast-moving market, you need your images quickly. Some photographers offer 48-hour turnaround, while others may take a week or more. If speed matters, ask upfront.

Included services. Does the package include drone photography? Floor plans? Virtual tours? Editing? The cheapest quote isn't always the best value if you end up paying extra for essentials.

Local knowledge. A photographer who knows the area will understand the best angles, the light at different times of day, and which features local buyers care about most.
