Factors Influencing Real Estate Photography Rates

Property Size and Type

The size and complexity of the property play a significant role in pricing:

• Small Apartments: Require fewer photos and typically cost less.
• Townhouses, Villas or Luxury Properties: Demand more time and attention to details.

Number of Photos

Most photographers offer tiered packages based on the number of images delivered. For example:

• 10-20 images: Ideal for studio to 2-bedroom apartments
• 20-30 images: Standard for mid-sized properties like 3-bedroom apartments or small townhouses/villas.
• 30+ images: Common for high-end or large properties where the minimum number of bedroom is four.

Add-On Services

Additional services can elevate a listing and increase the cost:

• Drone Photography: Artistic aerial shots.
• Virtual Staging: Digitally furnish vacant spaces.
• 360 Virtual Tour: For exceptional experience.
• Video Walkthrough: Mostly done for social media.

Geographic Location

• Center of Dubai: Dubai Marina, JLT, Media City, JVC, JVT, JBR, Business Bay, Al Barsha, Barsha Heights, Jumeirah, Damac Hill, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Al Qouz, Sheikh Zayed Road, Emirates Hills, Jumeirah Islands, Dubai Studio City, Arjan, DIFC, Wasl, Al Furjan, Discovery Gardens, Dubai Production City, Jumeirah Golf Estate, etc.
• Outlying Areas: Dubai South, Expo City Dubai, Emaar South, The Valley Mirdif, International City, etc.
