Hey there, I’m Cole Connor, an artist and entrepreneur with a passion for creating and inspiring. I run Bow Los Angeles, a real estate marketing company in the beautiful city of Los Angeles, California. Today, I want to take you on a thrilling journey through a day in the life of a real estate photographer, where I managed to earn a total of $1,475.
Morning Hustle (8:30 AM – 10:15 AM)
My day begins at 8:30 AM, and it’s packed with appointments, including both real estate photography and a video shoot. I’ll walk you through each step of my busy morning.
First Shoot: Real Estate Photography (8:50 AM – 9:05 AM)
I start the day by heading to my first real estate photography appointment. The property is a small unit, and it’s all set up for my arrival. My task is to capture the interior, which involves taking around 10 photos. It’s a smooth operation, and I complete the job in approximately 15 minutes. For this service, I charge $175. Here’s the secret to success in real estate photography – efficiency.
Second Shoot: Real Estate Photography (9:30 AM – 9:45 AM)
With a 25-minute gap between appointments, I make my way to the second location. This is another real estate photography gig, and it’s just as streamlined as the first. I capture about 10 photos in 15 minutes, and the client’s fee remains at $175.
Lunch and a Chance Encounter (10:00 AM – 10:30 AM)
Amid my hectic morning, I manage to squeeze in a quick lunch. But my day takes an unexpected turn when I cross paths with Jamie, a fellow content creator and real estate photographer. We connect over our shared enthusiasm for the industry and enjoy a coffee break.
Midday Grit (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM)
After lunch, it’s back to the grind. My next appointment promises excitement – an Airbnb shoot. This one entails capturing more photos and demands a longer time commitment. Here’s how it unfolds.
Third Shoot: Airbnb Photography (1:00 PM – 2:15 PM)
I arrive at the Airbnb property, situated conveniently near the iconic Hollywood sign. This shoot is a bit more complex, requiring meticulous attention to detail. It takes around 75 minutes to complete, and the client’s payment for my services stands at $300. My mission during this assignment is to encapsulate the essence of this unique space in my photographs.
Afternoon Challenge (2:30 PM – 4:30 PM)
Following the Airbnb shoot, I take a moment to catch my breath before my next challenge, a video shoot. Video shoots tend to be more intense, as they require capturing every angle and detail while ensuring the final product is engaging and polished.
Fourth Shoot: Video Walkthrough (4:30 PM – 6:00 PM)
For this shoot, my objective is to film a video walkthrough of a property. The client, in this case, is particularly keen on having an engaging introduction. This adds more complexity to the task at hand. The client agrees to compensate me with $650 for my services.
After a full day of shooting, I head home, and it’s time to crunch some numbers. From these appointments, I managed to earn a grand total of $1,475. However, my workday isn’t over just yet; there’s still a considerable amount of editing work to be tackled.
A day in the life of a real estate photographer is filled with variety, excitement, and the opportunity to use your creative skills. While it can be a demanding job, it’s also immensely rewarding, both professionally and financially. I’m grateful for the chance to do what I love and share this incredible journey with you.
