real estate photographers  

hi cherishxbunny well if I was interested in a career as a real
estate photographer I would google in how well paid are real estate photographers and see what sites they give you. there should be a lot of information out there.of course if you can
find some mylotters who do that for a living ,that will really
help.

All the Real Estate agencies I know use in house people to take photos. It is usually one of the agents who is interested in photography. I do not think this is a high demand field. If you check out the Real Estate web pages the photos are not the greatest. Not the work of a professional.

Well I agree with your second poster about real estate agents taking their own photos, but I think you need to look at it from a different perspective. The down side is you will not get paid by the hour. But why not take pictures of interesting houses and put them on stock photos sites? Don't limit yourself to just houses either. See www.bigstockphoto.com www.dreamstime.com www.istockphoto.com

i did try it out, but your main clients are real estate agents & real estate agencies. if you're really keen on photographing buildings (exterior & interior) then it would be good to pair up with a few interior design firms and also shopping mall owners. why shopping mall owners? because their tenants almost always have to do some sort of promo, so the ones that don't know how to go about the photography will ask advise from the shopping mall management office. and who do they call, you of course! provided that you're somewhere nearby... :)

have a couple of good channels to prospect, and you'll be busier than a honey bee :) and the pay is good too..
