Dubbo Editorial Style Interior Photography for The Shouse

If you are currently reading this looking for a photographer in Dubbo (I’m honestly curious, how well my SEO works). Please get in touch, I visit Dubbo regularly and would love to build up a regular work base in this location, and/or the surrounds (visits to Orange would also be lovely).

Why you should hire an editorial style photographer over a real estate photographer

Now I’m not saying all real estate photographs, but the low budget real estate photographers, are generally not going to do the following, and an editorial style photographer will (and I always will):

1/they’ll get to know you ahead of the shoot, and what you are really hopping for out of the final photos of the property.
