HDR on every shoot. Coverage from the Upper East Side and Upper West Side to Tribeca, SoHo, Chelsea, and the Financial District. Built for co-op, condo, and luxury high-rise listings, including doorman buildings that need a certificate of insurance on file. We publish our pricing, so you know the number before you call.
Five-stage HDR processing on every frame. The right tool for tight pre-war rooms and high-floor units, where bright windows fight darker interiors. Even light, accurate color, corrected geometry, full property coverage. No minimum image count.
An interactive walkthrough buyers move through on their own time. For a co-op or condo listing fielding out-of-town and relocation buyers, a virtual tour holds attention and pulls more qualified showings. Six months of hosting included.
4K 60fps walkthrough shot in one continuous take, the way a buyer moves through a unit. Cut for listing platforms, social media, and broker reels.
Drone coverage across New York City and surrounding markets. Two ready video clips and five HDR aerial photos per session. Colin handles airspace and permitting where required.
Furnish a vacant condo or co-op digitally. Faster and less expensive than physical staging, and useful for empty units that need context for potential buyers.
Five HDR images shot at dusk. Exterior-focused, built for penthouses and high-floor units with skyline views that read best after sunset.
From pre-war co-ops above Central Park to new-development condos downtown, we shoot listings across the borough. Colin works the building requirements as part of the job, not as an afterthought on shoot day. Every neighborhood has its own building stock, and each one calls for a slightly different shoot.
Many luxury and doorman buildings require a COI on file and a scheduled freight-elevator window before anyone shoots. We handle the paperwork and building coordination so the shoot does not slip and the listing stays on schedule.
Manhattan is the most competitive listing market in the country. A buyer searching the Upper West Side or Tribeca sees dozens of co-ops and condos in a single session, and the photos decide which ones earn a saved tab and which get scrolled past. The first showing happens on a screen, not at the door.
The work is harder here than almost anywhere else. Pre-war rooms run small and dim. High-floor units fight bright window light against darker interiors. Co-op interiors carry decades of mixed lighting. HDR is the tool that resolves all of it, so a studio in Murray Hill reads bright and open, a Tribeca loft reads true to its volume, and a penthouse keeps both the room and the skyline view in the same frame. At Manhattan price points, a listing that looks under-represented in the photos quietly costs the seller showings, and the agent the next referral.
In most of Manhattan, the building is the gatekeeper, not the unit. Doorman and luxury buildings require a certificate of insurance naming the building before a vendor sets foot inside, and many restrict photography to a scheduled freight-elevator window. A photographer who shows up without that paperwork gets turned away at the desk, and the listing slips.
We carry our own coverage and file the COI with building management ahead of the shoot, naming the building and managing agent as the certificate requires. We confirm the freight-elevator window, the service entrance, and any move-in or move-out restrictions before the date is set. For co-op listings tied to a board-approved launch, that coordination is the difference between hitting the launch date and explaining a delay to the seller.
Manhattan listing work is not one job repeated across the borough. A pre-war co-op on the Upper East Side and a glass condo in the Financial District ask different things of a photographer. Here is how we approach the neighborhoods we shoot most.
Classic pre-war co-ops, doorman condos, and townhouses near the park and Museum Mile. Most buildings here run a COI and freight-elevator process, which we file ahead of the shoot. HDR keeps formal pre-war rooms bright without blowing out the windows.
Pre-war co-ops with classic six and seven layouts, plus condos along Riverside and Central Park West. We light long galleries and separate dining rooms so the layout reads clearly, which matters for family buyers comparing floor plans online.
Converted lofts, luxury condos, and full-floor units with high ceilings and large window walls. These are volume-driven spaces, so we shoot wide and clean to show ceiling height and light without distortion. A 360 virtual tour suits the open layouts.
Cast-iron lofts, penthouses, and condo conversions with exposed structure and oversized windows. HDR holds the contrast between bright cast-iron facades and darker loft interiors so the character of the space comes through.
New-development condos, gallery-district lofts, and pre-war co-ops near the High Line. Many newer buildings here are full-service with strict shoot scheduling, which we coordinate through building management before we arrive.
Luxury high-rise condos and office-to-residential conversions with skyline and harbor views. High-floor units are twilight candidates, and we shoot the view as a selling point rather than an afterthought.
Brownstones, renovated multi-family homes, and condo conversions. We shoot original detail, restored facades, and garden levels so the full value of a townhouse or conversion reads in the listing.
Doorman high-rise condos and rental towers in full-service buildings. These are the most COI-heavy shoots in the borough, and we handle the certificate and the freight window as part of the booking.
Townhouse floor-throughs, pre-war co-ops, and boutique condos on tree-lined blocks. Smaller historic rooms benefit most from HDR, which opens up tight spaces without making them look false.
Studios, one-bedrooms, and mid-rise co-ops and condos. Compact units are where photography earns the most return, since clear, bright images are what separate one listing from the dozen others a buyer is comparing.
Manhattan listing work runs on building rules and board calendars. The fix is a photographer who carries insurance, files the certificate of insurance ahead of time, and delivers before the launch date a co-op or condo board signed off on.
Buyers who tour a unit virtually are more likely to book an in-person showing, which matters for relocation and out-of-state buyers in Manhattan. We pair HDR photography with a one-take walkthrough video, or add a 360 virtual tour for the full package, so one shoot markets the listing across every channel.
Every HDR shoot covers the full property: interior, exterior or common areas, and the details that sell a co-op or condo, delivered as web-ready and MLS-sized exports in one link. No minimum image count. Here is how the shoot runs, start to finish.
Address, unit, square footage, services, and your launch date. Tell us the building so we can file the certificate of insurance and confirm the freight-elevator window before shoot day.
Colin shoots the full unit in HDR, plus any 360 virtual tour, video, or twilight add-on. One to three hours on site depending on the size and layout of the property.
Each frame is merged, tone-mapped, color-corrected, and finished, with window light balanced against the interior. 360 virtual tours are stitched and published to a hosted URL.
Web-ready and MLS-sized exports in a single link, 24 to 48 hours from the shoot. The co-op or condo listing goes live on the date the board signed off on.
HDR photography starts at $200 for properties up to 1,500 square feet and is the only quality we deliver for co-op and condo listings. Pricing scales with interior square footage and a 360 virtual tour add-on starts at $300. Our full rate table is published above.
Yes. Many Manhattan doorman and luxury buildings require a certificate of insurance on file and scheduled freight-elevator access before a shoot. We carry coverage and handle the COI paperwork and building coordination, so the shoot stays on the calendar and the listing does not slip.
Yes. Tight pre-war rooms and high-floor units with strong window light are HDR situations. Five-stage HDR processing balances bright windows against darker interiors, so the room and the view both read in the final image.
Standard delivery is 24 to 48 hours from the shoot. A rush add-on is available for same-day or next-day turnaround when our schedule allows, which matters when a co-op or condo listing has a board-approved launch date.
Yes. Co-ops, condos, condops, and rental units are all standard work for us. Co-op listings often run on a board-approved launch date, so we file the certificate of insurance early and schedule the shoot to land the delivery before that date.
We shoot the full borough, from Harlem and the Upper East Side and Upper West Side down through Midtown, Murray Hill, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, and the Financial District. Pre-war co-ops, new-development condos, lofts, and penthouses are all routine.
Yes. Every service combines in a single shoot, which is the most efficient way to market a Manhattan listing across MLS, social media, and a brokerage site at once. Booking one visit also means a single certificate of insurance and one freight-elevator window instead of three.
Most Manhattan agents juggle a photographer, a video editor, and a tour vendor on three different timelines, each needing its own certificate of insurance and freight-elevator window. We run the full visual marketing set in house, so one shoot and one COI cover the listing across MLS, social media, and a brokerage site.
Interactive tours that hold attention longer and pull more qualified showings from relocation buyers. Six months of hosting included.
