Real estate photography · Boston
In short
Real estate photography in Boston starts at $295: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Boston, and 30 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 24 hours.
Why choose Real estate photography in Boston?
Real estate photography in Boston is a 90-minute listing shoot of interiors, exteriors and key details, priced from $295 for 30 retouched photographs delivered within 24 hours in MLS and full-resolution sizes. Boston housing stock sets the brief. A Back Bay or South End condo is often one floor of a 19th-century row house, with tall windows, a bay and a narrow footprint, so window-pull blending and vertical correction do more for the listing than a wide lens does. A triple-decker unit in Dorchester or Somerville has the opposite problem: three similar floors where the photographs have to show which one is for sale.
Worth knowing about Boston
Downtown Boston and much of the surrounding city sit inside the controlled airspace of Boston Logan International Airport. Under Federal Aviation Administration rules, a drone flown below 400 feet in controlled airspace near an airport needs an FAA airspace authorization before it takes off, requested through LAANC. Aerial exteriors for a Boston listing are therefore checked against the FAA map at booking and authorized for the date, or replaced with ground-level and rooftop frames.
What does the session in Boston look like?
- Back Bay and South End condos
- High ceilings and bay windows that need exposure blending so the street view and the room both read.
- Triple-deckers in Dorchester, Somerville and Jamaica Plain
- Porches and stacked units, where the exterior frame has to make the listed floor obvious.
- Seaport and waterfront high-rises
- The harbor view is the selling point, so the shoot is timed for the light on the water.

FAQ — Real estate photography in Boston
Can you fly a drone for a Boston real estate listing?
Only with FAA authorization in most of the city. Much of Boston lies in Boston Logan International Airport’s controlled airspace, and the Federal Aviation Administration requires an airspace authorization, usually requested through LAANC, before any drone flight under 400 feet there. Boston real estate shoots plan aerials at booking, not on the day.
How fast are Boston listing photos delivered?
Within 24 hours. A Boston real estate shoot of 90 minutes produces 30 retouched photographs with window-pull blending and vertical correction, delivered in MLS-sized and full-resolution files the next day, so a listing photographed on Wednesday can go live on Thursday morning before the weekend open house.
