A day in the life of a PROPRT360 Property Photographer

Property photographers are the visual storytellers of the real estate world. With a keen eye for detail and an understanding of what makes a property stand out, they help bring homes to life for potential buyers and renters. Let’s follow a day in the life of a PROPRT360 Property Photographer.
Morning: Planning and Preparation
The day starts early with a review of the schedule. Each property is unique, requiring different approaches to capture its best angles. Our photographer gathers their gear, ensuring cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment are ready. Reviewing the client’s brief and any specific requests is crucial to tailor the shoot accordingly.
Mid-Morning: First Photo Shoot
Arriving at the first property of the day, our photographer does a quick walkthrough to get a feel for the space. This helps in planning the shots and identifying key features to highlight. Setting up the equipment takes precision and care—tripods are adjusted, lighting is arranged, and the camera settings are fine-tuned.
With everything in place, our photographer begins capturing the essence of the property. Each room is photographed from multiple angles, ensuring the lighting showcases the space’s best features. Attention to detail is paramount, from capturing the texture of a wooden floor to the natural light streaming through large windows.
Late Morning: Editing on the Go
Once the first shoot is complete, our photographer often finds a quiet spot to start editing the photos. Using high-quality software, they adjust lighting, colour balance, and composition to ensure each image is perfect. Quick edits help in sending previews to clients for immediate feedback.
Lunch Break: A Moment to Recharge
A brief lunch break offers a chance to recharge and review the morning’s work. It’s also an opportunity to respond to any emails or calls from clients, ensuring clear communication and addressing any last-minute requests or changes.
Early Afternoon: Another Property, Another Story
The afternoon is filled with more property shoots. Each location presents its challenges and opportunities. Whether it’s a cosy flat in the city or a sprawling countryside estate, our photographer adapts their approach to suit the property’s unique character. Virtual tours might also be part of the day’s work, adding dynamic elements to the portfolio.
Late Afternoon: Final Touches and Client Meetings
Back at the office or on the go, our photographer finishes editing the day’s photos. This final round of edits ensures that every image meets the highest standards. The photos are then organised into digital albums and sent to clients for review.
Meetings with clients or real estate agents often take place in the late afternoon. These meetings are essential for discussing upcoming projects, receiving feedback, and understanding market trends. Building strong relationships with our clients helps secure repeat business and referrals.
Evening: Reflecting and Planning
As the day winds down, our photographer takes a moment to reflect on the achievements and challenges of the day. Planning for the next day’s shoots and preparing equipment ensures a smooth start to the following morning. It’s a time to unwind and recharge, knowing that their work plays a crucial role in the property market.
