>>3938067>I got offered a job with a place like this and they said they would provide the camera and I only did the shooting, while a separate person did the editing. Thought it was kinda weird.I guess it's good for all the newbies who want experience, but don't have their own porfolios yet.
They know that photography is an oversaturated field, and people, so they can afford to find easy cheap labor.
And if they formulize the photography into a simple algorithmic checklist (take wide angle from every room corner; take pano from center of every room; take drone shot of whole area), there's no need for artistic flexibility. You just go in, take the shots the client expects, and get out; and if you hand-hold a newbie, it shouldn't be much more difficult to training a cashier to bag groceries.
The big question is whether this business model takes off in the future. Because of how oversaturated photography is, I suspect it will. All that business needs to do is take the hassle out of hiring a traditional photography (scheduling, signing contracts, etc.) into a streamlined process (have an online calendar booking system; have a "subscription" to a certain number of home shoots), then I can see millenial realtors switching over.
