FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How do I order a photo shoot?

    • All orders can be placed online, and you can also schedule an appointment instantly giving us a call at (213) 986-6818‬ or send us an email to contact@fourthwallproduction.com




       

  2. How far in advance do I need to order?

    • Generally, 2 to 3 days' notice is sufficient, and sometimes, we can even arrange a photo shoot for the same or next day.
       

  3. When do I get the photos?

    • The photos are always delivered 24 hours after the photo shoot.
       

  4. What is the best time of day for shooting my property?

    • We can make your home look great in any light. However, if you want the sun hitting the front of the house to create the best possible front exterior, morning is best for east-facing homes, and afternoon is best for west-facing homes. If ocean views are important, we recommend morning so that we can capture them without shooting into the sun.
       

  5. What is a twilight photo shoot?

    • A twilight photo shoot is recommended when dramatic photos are desired. It involves shooting the exterior photos twice, once before sunset for daytime shots, then shooting the interior, and then shooting the exterior again after sundown for jaw-dropping night photos with a deep blue sky. We start shooting 30 minutes before sunset.
       

  6. What if it is cloudy?

    • If the sky is overcast, we will use Photoshop to make it blue.
       

  7. Any other questions?

  8. Why should I hire Fourth Wall Production instead of doing it myself?

    • While many smartphones take excellent photos, they lack dynamic range and exposure control. Our comprehensive process involves taking multiple exposures of every photo, using a tripod, a remote shutter release, a wide-angle lens, and dedicated software to produce images that stand out.
       

  9. Why should I utilize professional photos?

    • Professional real estate photography is one of the most useful tools in making a positive first impression of a property. According to a 2023 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 88% of buyers use the Internet in their search for a new home. Additionally, real estate listings with professional photos typically command higher asking prices, according to a 2022 Wall Street Journal article.
