Property photography: guides
In the Property category we write about how a property is presented: photography, video, aerial shots and preparing the space before the shoot. The articles are for owners, estate agents, short-term rental managers and hotels who want listings that show the space clearly and honestly. You will find practical checklists, criteria and mistakes worth avoiding, from the order of the photos in a listing to the format of a Reel.
In Athens, THPAUL handles this work through Akinita Media, its specialist property media service, meaning photography, video and aerial imagery for properties. We photograph apartments, detached houses, Airbnbs, hotels and commercial spaces across Attica, with HDR photography, video and Reels, 360° tours and drone where permitted. We have photographed more than 300 properties. Akinita Media also has its own website, akinitamedia.gr, with a portfolio, a price list and an instant price estimate.

Read the articleWhat does the cost of property photography depend on?+

How does a property photo shoot work?+
A property photo shoot starts with a request: the area, square metres, property type and service. We book an appointment at the property for when the light is right and carry out the shoot: photography, video, drone or 360°, where possible. The final package is put together for each property.
How soon is the material delivered?+
Standard delivery for a property shoot takes up to 3 working days, with files ready for listings. Urgent delivery is subject to availability. We cover all of Attica, and areas outside Attica by arrangement.
