Real estate photographer

Real estate photographer for Long Island listings

Core Media Co. is a real estate photography and video studio at 523 Lake Avenue in Saint James, NY, shooting listings for agents and teams across Suffolk and Nassau County. A listing shoot covers professional photos, MLS ready, and depending on the package a 2D floor plan, drone, a listing video, and twilight, all delivered to one shared folder.

There are five packages, priced per listing and the same in every town: Photos $350, Photos + Floor Plan $395, Photos + Air $495, Full Package $695, and Signature $1,250. Agents who list twice a month or more can put every listing on the Full Package with a monthly plan, which carries a 3-month minimum.

The shoot

How a listing shoot runs

Most homes take one to two hours on site. We work room to room in a set order so nothing is missed, and we shoot the front of the house when the light is on it rather than behind it.

  • Before the day we send a short prep note and confirm access: lockbox code, gate code, or who is meeting us.
  • Bracketed exposures in every room, blended in the edit so the interior and the window are exposed together.
  • The floor plan scan, the aerials, and the video are captured on the same visit when they are in your package. Twilight is a second, short visit at dusk.
  • One round of revisions is included on every package, and you own the finished work.

Long Island listings

What Long Island listings tend to need

The housing stock changes a lot from one town to the next, and that decides which package earns its place.

  • Waterfront and harbor lots on the north and south shore, where an aerial shows the frontage and how the lot sits on the water.
  • Older capes and colonials with smaller rooms, where careful window work and blended exposures make the space read as usable.
  • Large houses on wooded or estate parcels, where drone shows the land and twilight gives the house its evening frame.
  • Co-ops and condominiums, which usually run as interior shoots where a 2D floor plan answers the layout question buyers ask first.

Delivery

What lands in the folder

  • Full resolution photos and MLS ready sizes, side by side.
  • The 2D floor plan, branded, with room dimensions and a gross living area summary.
  • The listing video as a horizontal master, plus vertical cuts for Reels and Shorts.
  • A link you can forward to your broker, your stager, or your seller.

Questions

Questions agents ask about listing photography

How much does a real estate photographer cost on Long Island?
Core Media Co. prices listing photography per listing: Photos $350, Photos + Floor Plan $395, Photos + Air $495, Full Package $695, and Signature $1,250. The Full Package includes the photos, a 2D floor plan, drone, and a listing video. The price does not change by town, in Suffolk County or Nassau County.
Do you photograph listings in both Suffolk and Nassau County?
Yes. We are based at 523 Lake Avenue in Saint James and work across Suffolk County and Nassau County regularly. Listing media is priced per listing, not by town, so a house farther from the studio costs the same as one down the road.
How soon after the shoot do I get the photos?
Full Package delivered within 48 hours. For the other packages we confirm delivery when you book, and everything arrives in one shared folder, full resolution and MLS ready sizes together.
Should I add drone photos to my listing?
When the lot, the roofline, the tree line, or the water is part of what you are selling, yes, because none of that reads from the ground. Drone is included from Photos + Air, $495 per listing, flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot when the weather, the airspace, and local rules allow it.
Can you photograph a co-op or condominium?
Yes, on the same packages as a house. The interior and the layout carry most co-op and condominium listings, and a 2D floor plan, from Photos + Floor Plan upward, answers the layout question first. If the building has rules about access, elevators, or when work can happen, tell us when you book.
Is there a monthly plan for real estate photography?
Yes. Agent Monthly is $1,095 per month for up to 2 listings, Producer Monthly is $1,995 for up to 4, and Team Monthly is $3,595 for up to 8 across a team, each listing at the Full Package. Every monthly plan has a 3-month minimum, and a month with no listings converts to a studio session.
