Bogotá property listing photography: scope and availability

[field.full]

I offer listing photography for property projects in the Bogotá area. Before agreeing an instruction, I normally start with a short review and put the scope, expected timing and exclusions in writing.

If you are comparing approaches, post a general description of the property, its location within Bogotá and the timing required. Fees, credentials, possible conflicts and the exact deliverables should all be confirmed before proceeding.

It would help to clarify what you mean by deliverables. Is the client expected to specify the number and format of images, level of editing and intended use when requesting a scope? Those details can make two apparently similar offers quite different.

I would send every photographer the same short brief rather than ask for a general price. Include the property type, approximate size, whether it is occupied, access restrictions and the date the images are needed. Then ask each person to separate the photography fee from any optional work and list what is excluded.

A written scope is useful, but I would not make it overly rigid before the property has been reviewed. The number of worthwhile images may depend on the layout and condition. Better to agree a range or a method for approving changes, while still fixing the deliverable formats and deadline.

What response time should a potential client allow for the initial review? Bogotá location may also matter for scheduling, so it would be useful to say whether the first enquiry should include the neighbourhood, preferred shoot window and any building access arrangements.

Price alone would not be my deciding factor. I would ask whether editing, travel, rescheduling, additional images and later revisions are included or separately charged. If professional insurance is important for the building or client, confirm the relevant evidence rather than assuming “credentials” covers it. Usage terms and any conflict with another instruction should also be addressed in writing.

A practical comparison brief could therefore have four sections: property and access details; required date and response deadline; image quantity, format and intended use; and a fee breakdown with exclusions. After that, confirm credentials, insurance where relevant, conflicts, cancellation or rescheduling terms, and who approves any change to the scope. That should produce offers that are much easier to compare.
