    Featured Reviews for Local Photographers in San Francisco

    Matthew Bolt Graphic Design
    Local Photographers in San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 14, 2013
    “We hired Matt Bolt to photograph our company employees and vehicles at our annual holiday party. A scissor lift was needed to get the desired effect. Matt was able to operate the lift, direct the group, and frame a series of excellent wide angle and detail photos that we continue to use in our company marketing and branding. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and will definitely call on Matt for our photography needs at future events.”
    Agnieszka Jakubowicz PHOTOGRAPHY
    Local Photographers in San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 10, 2015
    “Agnieszka understood immediately that as the architect for the arch, I wanted to be involved with the initial viewpoints to be chosen to photograph the San Jose Little Italy Arch. She courteously allowed me to be with her during the photo session and discussed every angle, time of the day, better lighting and patiently she chose several very interesting views. Beyond that Agnieszka went to the site several other times to make sure she would capture the perfect illumination, the right car parked below it, changing colors due to the weather. Her dedicated professionalism then went on to show on the post-production phase, when she eliminated all the disturbing elements such as power lines, utilities in the way. All that with a very enthusiastic and proactive attitude, and very important for me, understanding of architecture. I am very happy with the resulting images.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 4, 2019
    “I've used Joy Coakley's services to photograph many of my projects posted on Houzz and my website. She's dependable and easy to work with. She has a great eye and sensibility. She's responsive and her turn around time is good..usually getting your shots in a week or so. She's a stylist as well so she knows how to fold a throw or bath towels like a super hero! : ) I already her scheduled for have a few new projects!”

    “I have had the privilege of working (more like playing!) with Michele on several shoots for various design projects, and am thrilled with not only her impeccable skill and professionalism, but also her wonderful insight and sense of humor! Michele captures beautifully the essence of each space while making it all an easy, seamless collaboration. I look forward to working with her on many projects to come.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 26, 2012
    “Treve Johnson’s extensive professional experience of more than 40 years is apparent throughout the entire photography process. His superior quality photos always bring out the best attributes in our custom homes. He communicates very well with our homeowners so they feel well-informed and prepared for the photo shoot. We certainly plan to continue working with Treve!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 16, 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!”
    Michael Hospelt Photography
    Local Photographers in San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 16, 2015
    “I am a designer, colorist in Marin, Ca. I pulled in Michael Hospelt Photography to shoot a job for me in Marin, Ca. Michael has an incredible eye, top equipment, showed up on time and was very efficient on the shoot. He made excellent suggestions and definitely knew his way around the camera and lighting. I also recommended him to a friend in Glen Ellen, who with her architect had just designed a beautiful, open and modern home on the hillside in Sonoma. Shots of this home can be seen in his portfolio. His rates were competitive and as a former art director in Europe, he definitely knows how to get the most advantageous shots of any given project. I highly recommend him. Keatin Holly, designer, colorist, sole owner of ARTFUL LIVING.”

    “As a Real Estate professional who has been in the business for over 20 years, when I need a photographer for a home I am selling I always ask for Dennis. He goes "Above and Beyond!". Always going the extra mile, for perfect light, helicopter photos or nighttime shots. If I can't get Dennis, I wait til he is available. He is the best!”

    If you're thinking of selling or renting your San Francisco, CA house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter? A home photographer helps with those challenges.

    What Is a Home Photographer?


    A home photographer is trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfill those expectations.

    Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home staging in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stagers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects & Building Designers, Real Estate Agents.

    Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each California photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s San Francisco, CA site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

    Questions to ask a home photographer:


    • Is photo editing included in your rate?
    • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
    • Do you do home staging?
    • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
    • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
