Have a tripod, tungsten lights (I don't plan on using them but I can) a Nikon D200 and an MFA in photo, but the agent wants simple (so far that is!). Since she wasn thinking I'd do a few houses (condos mostly) in a day, I was thinking a base price for the first shoot -that is, listing- ($75-150) and a secondary price for every listing thereafter. Does anyone else use this type of pricing? Also, this is my first time for doing this type of work (as is evident by my website)...Deliverables will be photos embedded in a custom designed (using InDesign) PDF with client logo. Any thoughts? Thanks, & GREAT SITE!!! So helpful!!! Hello, likewise, just starting out.

I've recently added a 'Ken Burns' presentation as an add-on to my service. It's been an instant hit and so far everyone has been paying the extra fee. To introduce the service, I give every client their first one for free when they bring me in to shoot a home. Here is my standard tour: http://www.OnlinePropertyShowcase.com/showcase/10216 Here is the streaming video presentation (basic version) of the same home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feZdZm8xd4o We also offer traditional aerial photography and in 2007 we purchased a mast/balloon system for low-altitude aerials. We're pitching golf courses for that service this year.

If it was me, I'd call and speak with the person in charge of marketing for his/her job is on the line if they loose sellers because of bad pictures. If I really needed that client back I would offer to take the same shots over to show him/her the difference. If they come out much better it would be very unlikly that they would be refused especially if your brought up in the conversation that the home owner may not appreciate using inferior shots. Hey but that's me. I'm sure you'll do what's best for you. Kelly,
