He is really fast and I always get pictures back from him within a couple of days of the photo shoot. The quality of his work is superb and my pictures on my Houzz page and my website look beautiful! I highly recommend Mark Pinkerton! **★★★★★ — Margarita Golod, April 2015** > I found Mark through the Houzz Photographer Network and hired him to photograph my new house. I was blown away by the pictures, he did such an AMAZING job. I was literally standing inside my new house when I got his email with the pictures and couldn't believe how beautiful they looked. He is such a talented photographer, I am definitely hiring him again and recommending him to all of my friends. He was incredibly responsive and the turnaround time on the pictures was super quick. His fee was completely reasonable and fair. I'm so lucky to have found him! Highly highly highly recommend to everybody. **★★★★★ — DesignFix LLC, Dec. 2014** > We are new company and hired Mark for our first professional photo shoot. Not only are we thrilled with how the photos turned out, we were so happy with our experience with Mark. He was patient with us as we learned the process and educated us about how to make the best impression. He was flexible, helpful, and available right when we needed him. After he took all the shots he wanted, he took lots of time to take some close-up and detail shots that we had in mind. His turn-around time was great, and he made small edits quickly at our request. We recommend him wholeheartedly. **★★★★★ — cal6639223, Oct. 2014** > I used this picture as a guide for the two secondary bedrooms ... Got the paint as suggested from Sherwin Williams and got the project going ....The two rooms look fantastic ... Thanks **★★★★★ — ailpab, March 2014** > Customer service excellent. We're provided satisfactory information on the product price and quality were competitive. Eployees iwere overly proactive and courteous. **★★★★★ — Cherie Colon, Nov. 2013** > Mark Pinkerton of VI-360 Photography is the best photographer for residential real estate that I have ever used. He is, in fact, my photographer of choice whether the list price is $350,000 or $10 Million. Mark not only has an eye for angles and lighting, his high resolution photos make my listings stand out with their beauty and appeal. Mark is professional, knowledgeable, personable, service oriented and I highly recommend Mark. **★★★★★ — Bay Area Designs, Nov. 2013** > Mark did an exceptional job photographing 2 of the house remodels I completed. He took time to ask me what I wanted to highlight about the architecture and if I had certain shots in mind. He taught me that the more angles in a picture the better and how to use Blurb to make photo books. Mark helped with staging and clean up before we left. He sent me the low res and high res jpegs within 5 days of the shoot and spent several hours doing touch up. I especially liked they he charged by the hour and not the photo. His rates are VERY reasonable and his quality spot-on. Jennifer Lee, Assoc. AIA **★★★★★ — allenscotty, Nov. 2012** > I have worked with Mark for several years now. He has photographed several of our architectural designs for our firm and for many professionals we have worked with in our industry. He is very professional, prompt and dependable. He pays great attention to his craft and finished product. I will continue to use him for our future work. I would highly recommend his service to any one interested. > > Scott Stotler, > Owner > Stotler Design Group, Inc. **★★★★★ — S-Squared // Architecture + Interiors + Landscape, Nov. 2012** > I've used Mark's services on many different projects of ours, starting this year. I met him through a real estate agent who was selling a house we designed for a client in Los Altos, then subsequently found that Mark was very active on Houzz as well, where I saw more of his work. > > Both experiences led me to reach out to Mark in an effort to establish a working relationship as our architectural photographer, and I have not regretted that move one bit. > > Having used a number of different photographers over the years, I can clearly identify those qualities that set Mark's services apart from the pack: > > 1\) accessibility: Mark is available on fairly short notice and is flexible with his time, which can be key in working around client's busy schedules > > 2\) efficiency: In one hour, Mark manages to squeeze off 3-4x the number of shots that other photographers typically manage. For clients like me, this means more images at the same price, and more thorough documentation of our work. > > 3\) quality: all of Mark's images are professionally composed, corrected for parallax, and feature balanced lighting. > > In the near future, I am looking forward to expanding my firm's relationship with Mark into some of his other areas of service, namely twilight photography, web design, and perhaps photo book publishing. At this point, I see myself working with Mark for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Rebecca, Nov. 2011** > Mark is an excellent photographer, videographer and web designer. He does an amazing, quality work, helping me to create my therapeutic massage center website. My clients say they can feel the peace just viewing his photos on my site. **★★★★★ — Rhoda, June 2011** > Bay Area Real Estate Photographer Mark Pinkerton does some fabulous work that make homes sell. He's the man behind many of the fine architecture photographs you see in Luxury Home Magazine, Silicon Valley. There is a lot to getting these images right, not just onsite but also in post-production - and Mark is a master at both! **★★★★★ — Brooke McClimans, April 2011** > Mark is an excellent architectural/real estate photographer. He does a fantastic job capturing all of the detail and quality we put into building our custom homes. His schedule is flexible and he is easy to work with, too. We at Custom Dreams in Real Estate highly recommend him! ## Selected projects - [Transitional New Construction \| Willow Glen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-new-construction-willow-glen-pj-vj~6649695) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 53 - Description: A traditional home in Willow Glen, California is remodeled to create a more open floorplan and to update finishes. - [Modern Remodel \| Sunnyvale](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-remodel-sunnyvale-pj-vj~7365835) - Location: Sunnyvale, CA - Photos: 29 - Description: This thoughtfully remodeled 1960s ranch-style home seamlessly blends European sophistication with California’s effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

The use of the color red (impatiens) draws the eye in for a closer look. - [Peninsula Splendor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peninsula-splendor-pj-vj~7329465) - Location: Menlo Park, California - Photos: 18 - Description: An addition on this home provided the space needed for a big and bold kitchen with all the modern conveniences.
