Architectural Imaging for Northern Virginia’s Premier Estates
The first thing a buyer sees is the work of your photographer. It is our RESPONSIBILITY to provide clear, beautiful images that will make your customer want to buy now.
As a seasoned real estate photographer with over 30 years of experience, I’m dedicated to creating stunning visuals that sell properties. My passion lies in capturing the unique character and beauty of each home. By showcasing your property in its best light, I can help attract more qualified buyers, increase offers, and reduce time on the market. Let’s work together to create a lasting impression and achieve your real estate goals.
DRONE ALTERNATIVE FOR NO-FLY ZONES
High Shot (or elevated photography) is where the camera is raised-up using a very large camera stand.

The camera stand can reach as high as 25 ft without an extension. The beauty of this device is that if you have a multi-level property, a stunning view is possible without the need for a drone. The camera is high, but not too high. The point of view also shows off the amount of property better than at ground level. If the property is on a hill, it’s even better because you don’t feel like you are looking up at a backward tilting structure.
Best of all, no FAA license is needed! We can use it anywhere in the DC no-fly zone. If you need to show a really large piece of property—you’ll still need drone photography for that.
I offer this as an added service. It takes some time to set up, so I must bill for it separately.

I AM LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT?
I am looking for just the right realtors, brokerage, realty firms, designers, architects, contractors, home staging, or interior designers that want quality, and a team player! My prices are competitive, but I won’t be the cheapest in town. You won’t get real estate photographs just to fill an MLS listing at Mark Gilvey Creative—I want you to sell the property as fast as possible! That starts with great photography! For me, that may mean spending a little more time on location or in image processing to achieve that goal.
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE
Real estate photography techniques change as time passes, and everyone wants to know they are getting the latest and greatest. My professional photography career spans 30+ years, honing my craft to offer the discerning client a quality product that will help sell their property.
These aren’t pretty pictures for your walls; this is commercial real estate photography designed to help make you a profit—quickly. If you have a discriminating eye for real estate photography, that means you know what a great image looks like and the value it has in selling your property fast. I especially want to hear from you.
A TEAM PLAYER
Mom-and-pop shops, a national design agency, and government contractors have worked with me for many years, photographing their locations, products, and services. I am a team player—the real deal (those are the words of my customers). Give me a call to stop by my 1,100 square foot photography studio in Woodbridge some time. Reserve a slot for a new headshot for yourself or several colleagues, or just come to chat.
