Travel Fees

The first 30 miles are free. After that it is $15 for every 10 miles (rounded down to the nearest 10), calculated from South Tampa using round-trip distance. We confirm the exact fee when you book, so you never get a surprise on the invoice.

What Affects the Price of Real Estate Photography?

Property size. Most photographers, us included, price by square footage. A 1,200 sq ft condo takes less time than a 4,000 sq ft South Tampa home, and the price follows.

What you add. Photo-only work is cheapest. Drone photos, floor plans and the property website are already built into our packages, so the main decisions are 3D tour, twilight and video. Ordering those inside a package is usually less than buying them one by one, and the table above lets you compare for your square footage.

Turnaround. Every package comes with a 24-hour turnaround at no extra charge.

Is Professional Photography Worth the Cost?

For most listings, yes. The listing photos are what buyers see first, and a $190 to $495 shoot is a small line item next to the value of the home. One often-cited study from VHT Studios looked at Chicago-area homes sold in 2013 and found professionally photographed homes sold 32% faster than other homes in that market (VHT Studios press release). It is an older, regional study, so treat it as a sign of direction rather than a promise for Tampa.

Which Package Do You Need?

Starter homes, condos and straightforward listings: Basic covers the essentials, photos, drone, floor plan and a property website.

Mid-size homes where you want to be Zillow-ready: Standard adds the Zillow 3D Virtual Tour or social media reel (your choice) and a virtual twilight image. See our guide to Zillow Showcase for how that fits together.

South Tampa, Hyde Park and Davis Islands listings: Premium or Deluxe add video and more twilight imagery, which suits homes that compete on presentation.

Luxury and waterfront homes: Deluxe with Matterport gives you the full set: cinematic video, 4 virtual twilight images and a 3D tour.

Questions We Get About Photography Pricing

How much does drone photography cost in Tampa?

Aerial drone photos are included in every Gator Gaze Media package. Standalone, 10 drone photos are $125, drone video up to 1 minute is $150, and up to 12 drone photos plus a video is $250. See our drone photography guide for when it pays off.

Do I need a 3D virtual tour on every listing?

No. A good photo package with a floor plan is enough for many listings. A 3D tour helps most on vacant homes, larger homes, and listings that attract buyers who can’t visit in person. Standard includes a Zillow 3D Virtual Tour or social media reel (your choice), and you can add one to any package.

How long does a photo shoot take?

It depends on the size of the home and what you book. A larger home with video, drone and a 3D tour takes noticeably longer than a small condo with photos only. Tell us the square footage and package when you book and we’ll give you a realistic window.

Can I get same-day photos?

Our standard is a 24-hour turnaround. If you have an urgent listing, call (813) 415-6349 or contact us and we’ll tell you what is possible.
