Brandon Zion Esquilin-Ikeshita

As a real estate Photographer I had many responsibilities, such as ensuring I was always on time, making sure my camera, drone, 3D camera, and phone were charged. As well as having to be adaptive and willing to face new challenges.

Most importantly, I always had to be sure I was adapting to each of the agents wants and needs, then making sure to relay that in all of their shoots later on, Making sure their post shoot feedback was positive.
