Meet Your Instructor: Tony Colangelo

The first thing you should know about me is that I understand a very specific challenge that you face everyday, because I face it, too. Like you, I know how difficult it can be to distinguish your work in a highly competitive marketplace.

I help real estate photography professionals like you achieve this goal by creating simple, yet evocative images that capture your creative vision, add value to your brand and contribute to awards and publications.

The next thing you should know about me is that I have a slight obsession with composition! Combining technique and creative instinct, I love – repeat, LOVE – finding camera angles that capture the best work.

Most of my clients would say that my attention to detail at a photoshoot, and the consistency in the images I deliver, are what they value most in our collaborations.

And now it is my privilege to work alongside such talented professionals and beginners alike, and I look forward to contributing to your growth in real estate photography as a coach who is invested in your success.

What Other Photographers are Saying

Brian Covington

Tony’s video is an insightful and enlightening analysis of composition. It may be the best information I didn’t know I needed. I’ve frequently struggled with composition, nailing it occasionally… but not exactly understanding why. I am not a beginner, having shot real estate for 16 years. I wish I would have had it 16 years and thousands of houses ago. Since watching the tutorial, I now see “lines” running throughout the room that I didn’t see before, and it has changed how I see the room and set up the shot. I have been implementing the strategies for the last several shoots and am so happy with the improvements. After delivery of photos for a regular client/stager just yesterday, I received a text… “gorgeous photos.” I’ve shot for her at least 50 times and don’t remember her doing that before. Coincidence? The tutorial was worth many times the price paid!

Buy Tony’s course. Period. I’ve worked with Tony as a coach and improved my photography and business by a factor of 3X. This video spends a good deal of time on why my photos are now better, my clients are happier and I’m now shooting more architectural work at 10X the fee I used to get from listing agents. What I love is I can watch, and re-watch any time I need to refresh Tony’s compositional wisdom. I’ve re-read my notes from our coaching sessions, but it’s not the same as hearing and SEEING the concepts again. The video is of incredible value. Buy it today and start watching immediately. Investing in your composition skills will pay off for the rest of your career.

I always felt like I had a decent eye for composition but there was no rhyme or reason to what I was doing. I was operating 100% on gut feeling. After learning composition from Tony, I was able to develop a methodology that I use every time I step behind my camera. No more guessing or hoping that I’m on the right track. Now I know why certain compositions resonate with my clients and me and, because of that, I can make better decisions in how I compose a shot. I know that if you apply what you’ll learn from this video, your confidence in putting together great compositions will increase dramatically, just like it did for me!

Kerry Bern - PFRE Photographer of the Month, January 2016

We’ve never had a resource specifically on composition that is dedicated to our field of photography. With Tony’s tutorial, we now have a fantastic, in-depth resource that is dedicated only to composition. He explains the ‘why and how’ to find good compositions, as well as what to avoid. Tony’s methods, which he has taught to many coaching clients, have proven results. Tony has coached numerous clients that have become PFRE Photographer of the month winners and two recent PFRE Photographers of the Year. Whether you are just starting out on your journey in this field or have been shooting real estate for years, like me, I highly recommend this tutorial. I got a lot out of it and there is no doubt in my mind that applying the techniques that Tony teaches in this tutorial will take your images to the next level.

Still not sure this is right for you?
At this point, you have 2 simple options…

  1. You could get the course and…
  • Discover the simple and subtle composition tactics found in this course to achieve next-level results in your real estate photography
  • Start delivering professionally-composed photos that exhibit your talent like never before and truly “WOW” your clients
  • Distinguish yourself from your competition and put yourself in higher demand
  • Get more bookings and earn more per photo shoot
  • Have confidence knowing that YOU GOT THIS, you are a real estate photography powerhouse, and everybody knows you are one of the best around!
  1. Or your other option is to try and do this on your own… 
  • Keep trying to figure out what makes excellent real estate photography by gathering bits and pieces of info online
  • Continue messing around with different elements of your shot until “it just comes to you…”
  • Continue with a non-systematic approach that leaves you with inconsistent work, clients saying “it’s good enough”, and leaving you with few to no referrals
  • Lack of variety in your portfolio because so few of your shots are coming out the way you want, and when they do come out right it’s because of luck not skill
  • Having no prominence in your industry, feeling discouraged by your average performance in a saturated market, and feeling like maybe you should just give up…
