How much does architectural photography cost?

Pricing depends on project scope, including location, property size, and number of images. We charge a creative fee for on-location shoots (full-day up to 10 hours or half-day up to 4 hours), plus per-image post-production, assistant fees, and travel expenses.

Can other vendors use the final images from a photoshoot?

Yes, other vendors can use the final images, but they need their own license. Cost sharing is the easiest way: we plan one shoot, add interested project partners to the licensing pool, and everyone splits the cost while getting the same full set of images.

How should I prepare for an architectural photoshoot?

Have the space clean and styled according to your vision. Consider discussing specific angles or features you want to emphasize.

What should I expect during a photoshoot?

Be prepared for a long day that often starts at dawn and ends at dusk. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their vision, utilizing professional equipment and expertise in composition and lighting.

How long does it take to receive the final images?

Typically 2-3 weeks after you have made a selection, depending on the volume of work involved.

Where does Pavel Bendov Photography operate?

We operate in Los Angeles and New York, covering key areas including San Francisco, San Diego, Arizona, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida.
