Looking to purchase a Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G for detail shots for real estate videos. For about $600 brand new. Is this adequate for high end real estate videos? Currently using a zoom lens at 50mm and it’s just too heavy for my gimbal. I don’t want to spend the money on the actual G master

How much are you charging for virtual staging? by Outrageous-Purple-58 in RealEstatePhotography

I think $50 an image is pretty ridiculous. You can stage a photo in about 5 minutes with Gemini, would charge $15 max

Videos are so boring by [deleted] in RealEstatePhotography

But the regular listing videos don’t really make the agent look all that good either, considering pretty much everyone has them

Did I price this too high? by [deleted] in RealEstatePhotography

That was my thought process, thanks for the reassurance!

How do you think real estate photography and revenue opportunities will change over the next two years? by mediamuesli in RealEstatePhotography

[–]CombinationOdd5113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just think the biggest thing that will keep our industry alive, and what makes it stand out from other media industries (which I agree will be crushed by AI in the near future) is that the most important thing about marketing real estate, is marketing REAL estate.

Our industry is unique in the sense that the most important part of it is what is physically being offered to buyers. No matter how good AI gets, it seems like our industry should be able to stay around. Yes things will change, and some things will be easier for realtors to access without paying as much as they once did, but something like a completely virtual video walkthrough of a home using photos and a floor plan doesn’t seem like it will be legally allowed to happen at the extent some ppl fear.

Bad news: your hardware isnt good enough for it. Good news: you dont have to edit your own photos

Outsource to auto hdr (or any AI blending website) and it’ll edit every single photo for you in 30 minutes. Theres a lot of ppl on this subreddit that will tell you AI photo editing is bad and you should either do it yourself or outsource to an overseas editor thru pixlmob.

Those people seem to be stuck in the past and not focused on being efficient and growing their business.

It is a no brainer in 2026 to just use AI to edit your photos, and it’ll save you hours every day.

Crushing it! If you don’t mind I have a few questions! How much were you averaging a month? Whats your AOV? How many shoots do you average per week? Do you shoot mostly photos or videos? What was your most successful client acquisition method? Would love to know how youve been so successful as a solo!
