- » What information should I know before hiring a photographer?
Please read the following information if you are interested in hiring a photographer. If you already have a photographer you will find written guidelines below which we recommend you pass on to your photographer to aid them while photographing your property.
Where should I look for photographers?
Look for photographers in the phone directory, on the internet, in the newspaper or photography magazines.
Good photographers will have a portfolio for you to review previous work they have done. What you will be looking for is a digital photographer that takes photos and prepares them for uploading to websites. Choosing a photographer is a balance between skill and cost. Don't be frightened to look around and ask any questions you need to before making a choice. Try and choose a photographer who is local to your area as you may have to pay travel costs.
How much can I expect to pay a photographer?
Prices vary from photographer to photographer depending on skill, experience and marketing. An approximate price for taking 8 panoramas and 20 still photographs of your property could be between $180.00 and $260.00 US dollars, but this price could vary depending on the photographer. You may be expected to pay for labour and travel costs and there may be extra charges for additional photo editing. Be sure to ask the photographer when they require payment as some may require a retainer payment e.g. half on completion and half when you get the photos. We recommend that you request a quote from your photographer for the total cost of the job before hiring.
