Real Estate & Architectural Photographer
Shoot2sell Architectural Photography
San Antonio, TX
05.2016 - 06.2020
- As a independent contractor for Shoot2Sell Architectural Photography I was responsible for coordinating and photographing up to six homes a day. Every appointment provided its own difficulties and challenges that required solving then and there as a limited amount of time was allocated for each shoot. Being able to coordinate on the spot with the listing agent, home owner, and administrative staff while maintaining a professional decorum was a must. My previous experience in high stress environments helped me to become one of the top producing and most sought after Real Estate photographers in the greater San Antonio area.
