Real Estate Photography in Bo-Kaap — the craft

Deliverables and turnaround

Standard turnaround is 24 hours from shoot to delivery, which is fast enough for an agent to secure the mandate or start teaser posts on Instagram the next morning. We do not promise a same-afternoon edit — a hand-edited set takes the time it takes, and a rushed one is obvious on the listing. Twilight exteriors are booked on request; they add a second visit to the property at last light and lift the perceived value of any home priced above R6m. Sky replacement is included on any exterior where the sky is naturally blown; virtual staging is quoted per image after we see the empty rooms. Every deliverable includes usage rights for the listing agent and the agency across all marketing channels for 24 months, and the raw files stay on our storage for two years in case the property relists.

What makes a listing shoot go wrong

The three things that ruin a real estate shoot are clutter, mixed light, and rushing the exterior. We ask the homeowner to clear surfaces the night before — no bathroom bottles, no fridge magnets, no laundry basket by the door — because those are the details a buyer sees before they see the tile finish. Mixed light is a choice: we either turn every warm downlight off and shoot ambient, or we balance the temperature ourselves with gels — we do not leave a lounge glowing amber next to a daylight-blue window. The exterior gets the same care as the master bedroom: verticals straight, no delivery van in the driveway, no dog on the grass, and the pool skimmed. Small things, but they are the difference between a listing that gets bookings and one that gets skipped.
