Photographer

Long Island photographer, based in Saint James

Core Media Co. is a photography and video studio at 523 Lake Avenue in Saint James, NY. As a photographer we work across Long Island on two kinds of job: real estate, where we shoot listing photography, drone, twilight, and floor plans for agents and teams, and local businesses, where photography is part of a monthly content plan alongside the video. Suffolk and Nassau County are regular ground.

Listing photography is priced per listing, and the price is the same in every town: Photos is $350, and the packages run up to Signature at $1,250. Every job is confirmed with a signed agreement, delivered to one shared folder, and yours to use with no usage restrictions once it is paid for.

Real estate

Real estate photography

Most of our photography is listing work. A typical home takes one to two hours on site, and nothing is handed over straight off the card.

  • Bracketed exposures in every room, blended so the room and the view through the window both hold detail.
  • One consistent color pass across the set, with lens corrections and straight verticals, so the gallery reads as one house on one day.
  • Full resolution files and MLS ready sizes in the same folder, with every finished photo delivered rather than a selection held back.
  • Occupied homes are fine. We work room to room, so anyone at home can move into a space we have already finished.

Aerial, twilight, and plans

Drone, twilight, and floor plans

Drone is included from Photos + Air, $495 per listing, a 2D floor plan from Photos + Floor Plan, $395, and twilight comes with Signature.

  • Aerials show what the ground cannot: the lot, the roofline, the tree line, and how close the water sits to the house.
  • Every flight is flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot. We check the airspace and the forecast before the day, so you hear up front if a location cannot be flown.
  • Twilight is a short exterior session at dusk with every light on, shot as a separate visit at the end of the day, weather permitting.
  • The floor plan is branded, with room dimensions and a gross living area summary, and is scanned on the same visit as the photos.

Local business

Photography for local businesses

For restaurants, salons, contractors, shops, and offices, photography comes as part of a monthly content partnership, shot on the same content day as the video. Partnerships run $1,500 to $4,000 per month, with a six-month minimum term.

  • The space, the team, the product, and the work, shot at your place or at our studio on Lake Avenue.
  • Static and carousel posts alongside the video, 3 to 4 a month on Partner+.
  • Everything edited, formatted for each platform, and delivered to a shared folder with captions, ready for you to post.

Questions

Questions we get about photography

How much does a photographer cost on Long Island?
For real estate, Core Media Co. charges $350 per listing for professional photos, $395 with a 2D floor plan, $495 with a floor plan and drone, $695 for the Full Package with listing video, and $1,250 for Signature. The price is per listing and does not change by town. Business photography is part of a monthly partnership, $1,500 to $4,000 per month with a six-month minimum term.
Is there a photographer near Saint James, NY?
Yes. The studio is at 523 Lake Avenue in Saint James, and the hamlet is the shortest drive we make. We work across the Town of Smithtown, the rest of the north shore, and Suffolk and Nassau County, on the same packages and at the same prices.
Does a Long Island photographer include drone photos?
We do, from Photos + Air upward, which is $495 per listing. Flights are flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot when the weather, the airspace, and local rules allow it, and we tell you before the shoot if a location is affected.
How many photos do I get from a shoot?
There is no fixed count, because a small cape and a large colonial do not need the same gallery. We cover every room, the exterior from the angles that show the lot, and the details worth a frame of their own, then deliver every finished photo in full resolution and in MLS ready sizes.
What kind of photography does Core Media Co. do?
Real estate and business work. For agents and teams: listing photography, drone, twilight, and 2D floor plans. For local businesses, title agencies, and lenders: photography as part of a monthly content plan, alongside the video. If you are not sure whether your project fits, book a 20-minute call and ask.
