Professional real estate photography is essential to a successful marketing campaign for commercial properties. But why stop at just the basics? The commercial real estate market demands a higher level of effort, especially when working with larger properties and higher sales prices. Commercial buyers typically assume a greater risk with their purchase and spend more time on due diligence during the transaction.

This is why it’s so important to properly market commercial properties and grab buyers’ attention right from the start. Go above and beyond traditional photography with Square Foot Photography’s add-on services! All of the below services can be added to our standard commercial photography services.

commercial photography services - drone

Drone Photography

Our Drone Photography add-on services will literally take your listings to the next level with aerial views. Highlight property boundaries, showcase stunning views, and feature major roadways around the subject property to put its location into better perspective. For $225, you’ll receive up to 10 drone images.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: High-rise buildings and commercial properties located near appealing attractions and important access points.

Twilight

Get that beautiful, golden hour glow with our Twilight add-on package! It includes up to 15 additional exterior images taken at sunset for $225. Twilight images are great for grabbing attention and creating an emotional connection with the property. Twilight appointments are booked 2-3 hours before sunset time by default. If you need this add-on as a separate appointment, an additional trip fee is required.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Any property you want to have that extra special something to grab buyers’ attention, especially those with exterior lighting, pools, or entertainment spaces.

commercial photography services - detailed shots

Detailed Shots

Our Detailed Shots add-on service is perfect for showing off your listing’s overall aesthetic. Instead of the traditional wide-angle lens, we use a zoom lens to capture detailed shots of your listing’s best features and amenities. For $95, you’ll get up to 10 images that help draw the viewer’s eye exactly where you want them to look!

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties with communal amenities, such as pools, lounge spaces, and business centers. This service is also great for retail and service-based properties that have lobbies and product displays.

Nearby Area Shots

Highlight nearby attractions with our Nearby Area Shots add-on! Your photographer will visit nearby locations that potential buyers would be interested in. Pricing is based per location, starting at $75, and all locations should be within 1.5 miles of the property. You’ll receive 2-3 images per location that truly capture what it’s like to live in the area.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties located near popular attractions, such as restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and walking trails.

Commercial Virtual Remodeling

Not every commercial property is suited for every buyer as is. Virtual Remodeling helps buyers or tenants visualize a space’s full potential with a complete digital makeover of the space, including walls, ceiling, and flooring! At $150 per image, you can consult with our team to find the best style and use of the space to appeal to your ideal buyer. 

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties that are unfinished, outdated, or have a current use that is too niche to appeal to a wider range of buyers.

Commercial Virtual Staging

Similar to remodeling, Virtual Staging helps buyers visualize a space’s full potential by adding photo-realistic virtual furniture and decor. Best of all, virtual staging is only a fraction of the cost of traditional staging! For $39 per image, you can consult with our team to discuss your preferred furniture style. Consider booking multiple styles to widen the property’s appeal.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties with outdated or ill-fitting furniture that doesn’t show buyers its true potential.

commercial photography services - horizontal highlight video

Horizontal Highlight Video

Our Horizontal Highlight Video add-on includes up to 1.5 minutes of clean, polished footage tailored for commercial listings. Choose your preferred style, such as calm or upbeat, to suit your marketing strategy. For an add-on price of $225, your completed video will be delivered alongside your photos. You also have the option to enhance your video with drone clips for $30 per clip.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Property listings you want to promote primarily through websites, presentations, and email marketing.

Dual-Format Highlight Video

Take your video marketing a step further with our Dual-Format Highlight Video add-on. This service maximizes visibility with both horizontal and vertical videos, including everything from the Horizontal Highlight Video, plus a 30-45 second vertical version optimized for social media. Starting at $295, you also have the option to add on 1-2 drone clips for an additional $50.
