Leasing or selling

Media that shortens the vacancy

Every vacant month comes straight out of NOI

One month of vacancy on a $15,000/month space costs $15,000 — and the marketing photos are often what decides whether a prospect books a tour or scrolls past. Smartphone shots of an empty suite don't just look bad; they slow the whole leasing cycle down.

For commercial real estate, professional media isn't a marketing expense — it's a deal acceleration tool. Better photos lead to more inquiries, faster tours, and shorter vacancy periods, at a fraction of one month's rent.

Let out-of-market tenants tour the space from anywhere

Commercial buyers and tenants evaluate multiple properties remotely before they ever schedule a visit — investors and fund managers often decide from another market entirely. A Matterport 3D tour lets decision-makers walk the space from anywhere, reducing in-person visits and accelerating the leasing or sales cycle.

Pair it with drone aerials that show what ground-level photos can't: parking capacity, site access, loading areas, proximity to highways and transit, and the property in its neighborhood context.

A portfolio marketed with five different looks

Brokers and owners with multiple properties know the pattern: a different photographer for every building, a separate drone pilot, a video crew from somewhere else — and a portfolio where every listing looks like it belongs to a different company.

Inconsistent media reads as inconsistent management. And when the marketing package needs more than photos — a video walkthrough for the deck, aerials for site context, a floor plan for space planning — coordinating separate vendors multiplies the delays.

One team, one visit, one consistent standard

Our commercial media team captures HDR photos, cinematic video, drone aerials, a Matterport 3D tour, and floor plans in a single visit — one point of contact, consistent quality across every deliverable and every building in your portfolio.

Every project starts with a free strategy session to plan access, timing, and what to feature. Packages are priced by square footage, with hourly editorial and large-format commercial shoots available on request. See commercial pricing.

Showcasing your business — no listing required

Not every commercial shoot is about a transaction. Restaurants, bars, cafes, offices, retail stores, grocery stores, and fitness centers use our photography for their websites, Google Business Profile, and social media. We regularly shoot occupied spaces, and every project starts with a free strategy session to plan access, timing, and what to feature around your business.

Need brand-level imagery rather than standard property photos? Hourly editorial photography at $249/hr is the right fit when the photos are for a website, campaign, or publication rather than a listing.

Commercial Property FAQ

What owners, brokers, and business operators ask us most.

How much does commercial real estate photography cost?
Packages are priced by square footage: Essentials from $249 (unlimited HDR photos, 2D floor plan, virtual twilight edit) suits small offices and retail suites; Pro Marketing from $349 adds a Matterport 3D tour and branded property website for mixed-use and larger spaces. À la carte, HDR photography starts at $149, drone photos at $119, and a Matterport tour at $199. Large-format and custom projects are quoted individually. See commercial pricing.
What types of commercial properties do you photograph?
We work with a wide range of commercial properties including restaurants, bars, hotels, office buildings, coworking spaces, shopping malls, retail stores, fitness centers, salons, construction sites, and more. If your business has a physical space that needs professional media, we can help.
Do you photograph office buildings and industrial/warehouse space?
Yes — office, retail, and industrial spaces are exactly what our commercial packages are built for. Drone aerials show what ground-level photos can't: site access, loading areas, parking capacity, and proximity to highways and transit. A Matterport 3D tour lets out-of-market tenants and investors walk the space from anywhere, and an accurate 2D floor plan is included in both packages so tenants and space planners understand the square footage at a glance.
Do you photograph occupied offices, retail, and restaurants?
Yes — we regularly shoot occupied offices, retail stores, grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. Every project starts with a free strategy session where we plan access, timing, and what to feature around your business. For vacant suites, virtual staging can digitally furnish the space to show potential layouts.
Do you photograph businesses that aren't for sale or for lease?
Yes — many of our commercial shoots are for the business itself, not a transaction. Restaurants, bars, offices, retail stores, and grocery stores use the photos for their website, Google Business Profile, social media, and marketing. Every project starts with a free strategy session to plan the shoot around your operating hours, and for brand-level imagery — hospitality, retail interiors, team and brand photography — hourly editorial photography is available at $249/hr.
Can you fly a drone at my commercial property?
Yes. Our pilots are FAA Part 107 licensed, we comply with FAA regulations, and we ensure all flights are in permitted airspace. Some locations may require special approvals or waivers, which we handle as needed. Aerials are especially effective for retail centers, office parks, and construction documentation. Learn more about drone services.
How fast will I get the media?
You receive all captured and refined media by the day following your shoot — photos, video, 3D tour, and floor plans. Rush delivery is available for time-sensitive projects.
Can you handle multiple properties or an entire portfolio?
Absolutely. We photograph properties of all sizes — from boutique restaurants to large shopping centers and multi-story office buildings — and the same team shoots every property, so your portfolio keeps one consistent look. Book each property online, or request a quote for large-format and multi-property work.
