Canales Orthodontics - Alabaster, Alabama Commercial Photography by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Angie and Chris Canales are a husband and wife orthodontics team practicing in the Birmingham area. They have three locations, Alabaster, Gardendale, and Brookwood. The Alabaster location is the newest and that’s the one they hired me to create the Google Maps Business View virtual tour of. I will say that I was very excited to create the tour and commercial images. Angie did all the design herself and I must say that she did a fantastic job! The colors, materials, light, are all great and a photographers dream. While I don’t have need for their services yet (I do have 3 kids with number 4 on the way), I can tell you that they are both very wonderful people to work with. Very positive and engaging. Chris and Angie are innovative thinkers as well. The iPad stations for those waiting are like nothing I’ve seen before. So, if you have a need for some teeth straightening in the Birmingham metro area, give Chris and Angie Canales a call!

ARC Realty - Birmingham Alabama Google Maps Business View Photography by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

Birmingham real estate Michael Murpree, a member of a networking group I’m part of, has been hiring me to photograph and create virtual tours of his listings. He suggested that I meet with his broker, Beau Bevis, to see if their office could benefit from the Google Maps Business View program. As soon as I walked in the front door I got excited! I knew this place would make for an excellent tour. I’ve quite honestly never seen a real estate office this nice before. You can really tell that every detail was thought through and the results are impressive.

I think the results speak for themselves! Take a look at the conventional commercial still images and virtual tour below. Be sure to check out their homepage if you are in the market to buy a house. I’ve worked with Michael Murpree quite a lot now, he’s even finding a home for my mom, so I highly recommend him if you are buying or selling a home. You can see his listings here.

Now Offering Real Estate Photography - Birmingham AL Real Estate Photographers by nikonic1976@yahoo.com

With the Google Maps Business View and commercial photography that I’m already doing, real estate photography is a no brainer as a service for me to offer. Most of the work I’ve been doing in the past couple of years has been architectural in nature. I use specialized photo equipment made for this kind of photography (gridded focus screen, super wide angle lenses, tilt shift lenses, panoramic tripod mount, and the ability to control my camera wirelessly by my iPad). Very often I was asked if I did real estate photography. There seemed to be a need for quality professional listing photography. Either agents were taking photos themselves, or hiring other photographers that specialize in volume, and not so much the best quality. I felt that I could fulfill the need of agents who wanted to wow potential homeowners with the best photography. The photos are often the first thing a prospective home buyer will ever see. Their impression of the property is driven, in very large part, to those images. Poor photographs can turn away buyers before they ever step foot inside the front door.

That’s why my service can be so beneficial. My goal is to offer the best value in real estate photography for the Birmingham, Alabama area. I’m not going to be the fastest, or the cheapest, but I will be the best. The best quality for the amount invested. I do understand the need of the individual agent to keep costs low. Savy and successful agents also know how important good photography is.
