Property Photography as a pre-refurb record

A pre-refurb record sits in a specific piece of the city; the property has to reflect that or it stops being useful. Landlords, contractors and heritage owners need a dated visual record before works start — the shoot is scoped for evidence, not marketing.

Context

A pre-refurb record is a coverage discipline.

Concretely, 20–35 retouched stills, floorplan-aware composition, same-week turnaround. Consistency and coverage outrank composition — the pack is evidence first.
