Editorial photography
Our top photo package. Every room is lit with flash and blended with the daylight by hand, so the photos look the way the house does when you’re standing in it.
How it’s different from HDR
HDR blends a few exposures of the light that’s already in the room. It’s quick, it looks good, and it’s right for most listings.
Editorial takes a lot longer. We light every room with flash, balance it with the light from the windows and edit each photo by hand. The colors come out true, the finishes look like themselves, and nothing looks flat or blown out. We shoot straight-on frames and details, not just the corners of each room. A 4,000 square foot home is about 3½ hours on site.
When to book it

HDR, flash or editorial?
Most listings are right for HDR. Flash adds a flash frame to every photo for truer color. Editorial is our top package, for the homes that call for it. Here’s what each one includes.
HDR photography

Questions agents ask
- How is this different from the HDR packages?
- HDR blends a few exposures of the light already in the room. Editorial lights every room with flash and edits each photo by hand. It takes longer on site, it costs more, and the photos look like the house does in person.
- How long will you be at the house?
- About 2 hours for a small home, 3½ hours for 4,000 square feet, and up to 8 hours for the biggest homes we price. The calculator on the pricing page shows the time for your square footage.
- Do I need to be there?
- No. We have Supra access, so we let ourselves in and lock up when we’re done.
- Can I add aerials or a twilight?
- Yes. Aerials aren’t included. Add 6 for $110 or 10 for $150 when you book. Twilight is quoted when you book, or we can turn a daytime exterior into a twilight edit for $20.
- When do I get the photos?
- Standard delivery is within 1 to 2 business days.
