Real Estate Photography Flagstaff Hill: Photos, Drone & 3D Tour

When a 4-bed home in Flagstaff Hill needed the full marketing package — stills, drone, floor plan, and a 3D virtual walk-through — the brief was simple: show the home properly, not just prettily.
If you’re planning a sale and want your listing to stop the scroll, here’s how professional real estate photography in Adelaide actually makes that happen.

The brief: “We need the whole lot.”

The job came through PropertyNow — a platform that lets homeowners sell directly but still get pro-level marketing. They needed a clean, consistent media package that included:

  • Interior and exterior photography

  • Drone shots for street context

  • A 3D virtual tour buyers could walk through

  • A 2D floor plan to tie it all together

The home itself was beautifully maintained — neutral tones, modern kitchen, and a backyard that clearly didn’t see many kids’ muddy boots. The challenge was to balance accuracy and warmth: show the true size of rooms and flow of light without making it look like a furniture catalogue.

Setting up the shoot: flow, light, and honest angles

Every home tells a story, and this one started with elevation. The raised front yard and manicured hedges gave the façade some real presence — perfect for the hero drone shots.

Inside, the plan was to shoot in natural light as much as possible. Flagstaff Hill light can be tricky mid-morning, but the big windows and glossy floors did most of the work. Key priorities:

  • Keep it consistent. Shooting in the same order a buyer would walk through helps the gallery read like a virtual tour — front, entry, living, kitchen, beds, baths, yard.

  • Highlight the lifestyle. The kitchen island, display cabinetry, and lighting details made it easy to create depth without adding flash clutter.

  • Avoid over-polish. No fake HDR glow or over-bright ceilings. Clean edits keep the place believable — which is exactly what buyers want.

Adding drone & 3D to the mix

Once the interior was wrapped, it was time for the drone to earn its keep. The top-down shots gave context: the home’s raised block, symmetrical landscaping, and quiet street all looked strong from above.

The 3D virtual tour tied the package together. It lets potential buyers “walk” through the house from anywhere — a massive help for interstate families who can’t attend opens. It’s also great for agents who want to share viewings without constant back-and-forth messaging.

The finished visuals

Every part of the gallery was planned to make the listing feel natural and easy to follow.

    1. Front elevation & entry – sets the tone. Manicured hedges and steps look great from both eye-level and aerial.

    2. Living & kitchen – the heart of the home; bright, open, clean lines.

    3. Dining & display cabinetry – detail shots that show lifestyle without being staged.

    4. Bedroom – bright, colourful styling adds warmth and breaks up the neutrals.

    5. Bathroom & laundry – clear reflections, no hidden tripods.

    6. Backyard – simple and low-maintenance; artificial lawn kept neat and green.

    7. Drone – high and low altitude shots showing the house’s position in the suburb.

    8. 3D tour – smooth navigation and logical scan points (no spinning in circles).

    9. 2D floor plan – logical layout with labelled rooms and easy circulation flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does real estate photography cost in Adelaide?

Most shoots start from around $180 and vary depending on location, property size, and extras like drone, 3D tours, or AI staging. See what's included here.

What’s included in a professional real estate photography package?

A typical package includes high-quality interior and exterior photos, plus options for 2D floor plans, 3D virtual tours, and drone images. Perfect for listings on realestate.com.au, Domain, or Airbnb.

Do I need a 3D virtual tour to sell my house?

Not always — but it helps. A 3D tour keeps buyers on your listing longer and gives interstate or busy families a realistic feel for the layout before inspection.

Do you offer floor plans with property photos?

Yes — detailed 2D floor plans are available and supplied as PNG and PDF. They show layout, room names, and flow, helping buyers picture how the home fits together.

When should I book drone photography for my property?

Drone shots are ideal for larger blocks, hills properties, or anywhere with views. They help show street position, block size, and nearby landmarks. Learn more about drone photography here.

Can you remove bins, cords, or unwanted objects from photos?

Yes — digital object removal is included for small distractions like bins, cables, or that random garden hose left out front. Clean, professional images make a difference.

How long does it take to get my real estate photos back?

Most jobs are delivered within 2–3 business days. Urgent turnarounds within 24 hours are possible for listings that need to go live fast — just mention it when booking.

Is AI virtual staging worth it for an empty home?

Definitely. AI staging helps buyers visualise how furniture fits and makes an empty room feel lived in. It’s also cheaper and faster than traditional staging. See examples of AI staging here.

Do you travel outside Adelaide for property photography?

Yes — shoots are available right across South Australia, including the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, Victor Harbor, and regional towns. Travel costs may apply depending on distance.
