Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 September 2015
“John Shipka, 3diFocus, does an excellent job of selecting views, framing rooms, and promoting a home's features when photographing properties for on-line marketing. He provides prompt and well-edited results from a photoshoot, in picture and video formats, and is consistently attentive to details.”
Jacob Hand Photography + Motion
Photographers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 October 2015
“Jacob Hand Photography was an absolute pleasure. We hired Jacob in February 2015 for two shoots and then followed up in June with another shoot. February was our first experience with a design photographer, and Jacob put me at ease and took the mystery out of the process. He walked through each property with me and a fellow designer and was able to outline which shots we'd want and what we needed to make each shot perfect. On our end, we were able to put a plan in place for shoot day to maximize the time with Jacob, and on his end, he and his team were on time, over-prepared, creative and thorough. We've now shot with Jacob multiple times, and I'll never use another photographer. He's the best.”

“Mike has taken the photos for many of the rooms I have posted to Houzz. I appreciate how conscientious he is of the total picture. He always takes the time to get the lighting perfect and knows when to add or subtract ornaments from the composition.”
Ted Glasoe
Photographers in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2016
“"As an Interior Designer, I hired Ted to photograph a master bathroom project in late 2014. He arrived on time, worked efficiently and captured all the key elements. The photographs are stunning, from wide-angle shots to exquisite details. Since that first project in 2014, I've hired Ted numerous times in 2015 to photograph my kitchen and bathroom projects. Ted is very professional, and I would highly recommend him.” Linda Navara, LMR Designs, LLC www.houzz.com/pro/lmrdesigns/lmr-designs-llc”

When you're selling your Chicago, IL home, quality photos are of utmost importance. As home buyers swipe through hundreds of photos, you want yours to stand out for all the right reasons.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A photographer focussed on architecture and interior design is specially trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfil those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home styling in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stylists and Property Staging, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects, Real Estate Agents.

Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each Illinois photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s Chicago, IL site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

Questions to ask a home photographer:


  • Is photo editing included in your rate?
  • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
  • Do you do home staging?
  • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
  • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
