Real estate
Listing photography questions.
How many photos do I get with a standard real estate shoot?
A minimum of thirty edited photos. Final count scales with square footage and the number of distinct spaces; small homes deliver thirty to thirty-five, larger homes commonly run forty-five to seventy.
Do you reshoot if a photo doesn't work?
Yes. Reshoots are scheduled within a reasonable window when needed at no extra charge.
Can I add aerial coverage, twilight, or video to a real estate photo shoot?
Yes, and most premium-tier listings book the photo package alongside aerial, twilight, or video. Bundled pricing reflects the efficiency.
What time of day is twilight shot?
Twilight is captured in the actual 15-to-20 minute window after the sun drops below the horizon, with the interior lights warm-balanced. Setup begins well before sunset; the productive window is short and the call time is calculated from the day's sunset.
Do you offer luxury packages for high-end listings?
Yes. The luxury package includes an extended edited photo set, twilight, aerial coverage through Part 107-certified operator partners, cinematic video, and a single-property website. See the Luxury Real Estate Photography page for full scope.

Do you handle premium private seller automotive shoots?
Yes. STEFDPHOTO's premium automotive workflow is built for the photo standards expected by major collector-car platforms: editorial-grade walk-around exterior, interior detail, engine, and the close-detail moments.
Can you do recurring dealership inventory?
Yes. Weekly or twice-weekly recurring schedules are how STEFDPHOTO prefers to handle dealership inventory. See the Dealer Program page.
Do you shoot to major ecommerce marketplace requirements?
Yes. STEFDPHOTO shoots to typical marketplace main-image and supporting-angle requirements: pure white background hero, supporting angles, scale references, and detail close-ups.
Do you cover corporate events and brand activations?
