Real estate photography and video in Richmond
Richmond is flat, dense and heavily condo weighted, which puts the work into interiors and plans rather than exteriors. Airspace near YVR restricts drone across much of the city, so we check the specific address before quoting aerials rather than after.

Flat, dense, and condo weighted
Richmond is overwhelmingly condo and townhome stock, and it is flat. Both facts shape the shoot. Density means most listings are units rather than houses, so the work is interior craft and an accurate plan rather than exterior drama. Flatness means that on the rare larger property there is no natural elevation to establish the parcel from.
For units, the discipline is the same as any dense market: frame honestly, light the space as it is, and give the buyer a plan they can read. A 2D floor plan earns its place on almost every Richmond listing because so much of the stock is laid out in ways a photograph cannot convey.
Drone here is an airspace question first
Vancouver International Airport sits in Richmond, and a large part of the city falls inside controlled airspace where drone flight is restricted. This is not a formality and it is not uniform across the city.
We check the airspace for the specific address at the time of booking rather than on the day, and if aerials are not available for a property we say so before you have paid for them. That is the honest order to do it in, and it avoids the situation where a package is sold with coverage that cannot legally be flown.
What works instead
Where drone is unavailable, the exterior set has to work harder and it can. A well-composed frontage, the approach, the common areas and the immediate surroundings shot properly will tell a buyer most of what an aerial would have, and we would rather deliver that well than sell an aerial that never arrives.
Inside, the discipline is unchanged: honest framing, no forced wide angles, accurate colour, and a plan. Richmond buyers are comparing units against very similar units, and the ones that stand out are the ones that look like themselves rather than like a wide-angle version of themselves.
