Hi all,
Been thinking lately about branching into providing a service to real estate agents and perhaps private vendors for professional photos of there properties.
I already specialise in professional photography but are looking at other avenues for buisness.I have had some experience doing a couple of private vendor shoots but I guess my big question is a strategy to approach real estate agencies who would be willing to hire me for professional photos of there newly listed properties and perhaps even rental listings.
I know there are a few people around who offer this service so any advise from agents etc would be apreciated.
My problem being I don't have an established portfolio in this field to present for initial buisness.
The other question is how much is a reasonable price in your opion to pay a photographer to come to the property and spend an hour or so taking pro pics of the place and then providing them on cd for agency.
I know many agencies obviously are happy to just take the pictures themselves but the quality of some is to be questioned...
Anyway would love peoples thoughts/ideas on the matter.
Thanks in advance
Dave
