  • Ensure that all photographs adhere to brand guidelines and represent properties accurately and attractively.
  • Manage and maintain photography equipment, including cameras, lenses, and accessories, to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
  • Organize and upload captured media for post-processing, meeting all deadlines and appointment punctuality, and adhering to availability guidelines.
  • Stay updated on industry trends and best practices in real estate photography to continually improve skills and techniques.
  • Develop creative concepts and ideas for photography to effectively showcase the unique selling points of each property.
  • Collaborate with other team members such as Regional Managers, Market Leaders, and photographers, as well as external partners such as real estate agents and marketing professionals, to deliver cohesive visual assets for marketing campaigns and promotional materials.
