They trust us
A real estate photo is first and foremost about light.
A room photographed in a single exposure gives either white windows or a dark interior. In HDR, we take several exposures of the same view and merge them: the view through the window stays legible, the interior is bright, the colours stay natural. Each photo is then retouched. That is what makes a condo, house or commercial space listing stand out on Centris and on your website.
01
One appointment, one photographer
HDR photos are taken during the same visit as the Matterport scan. A single visit to coordinate with the seller or tenant; the 3D tour, the floor plan and the photos come from the same supplier.
02
Legible windows, bright interiors
Several exposures merged for each view, then professional retouching: faithful photos, with no blown-out windows or dark corners.
03
Delivered in 24 to 48 hours
In web format for the listing and in high resolution for print, by download link.
04
Residential and commercial
Condos, houses, plexes, model units, retail spaces, offices and buildings: for brokers, developers, building managers and owners of commercial spaces.
A real tour to explore
4200 Saint-Laurent Boulevard, captured for Antrev.
A commercial building in Montreal, scanned in 3D to lease its offices. This is the kind of appointment where the photo shoot is added: once the scan is done, the views chosen for the listing are photographed in HDR. Explore the tour, then picture the same spaces in photos.
Six uses for a real estate photographer in Montreal.
Condo for sale in Montreal
The 25 photos that get the listing opened: living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, view and the building’s common areas, framed wide-angle in natural proportions.
House and plex on the South Shore
For a multi-storey house or a plex, the 35- or 45-photo package covers every level, the exterior and the yard. Boucherville, Longueuil, Brossard: the South Shore is our home base.
Model unit and condo project
For a developer, photos of the model unit feed the project website, the sales office and advertising, alongside the 3D tour and the floor plan.
Commercial space, offices and building for lease
Commercial real estate photographer: office floor, retail space, warehouse, lobby and façade, for the rental listing, the manager’s website and commercial brokers.
Income property and property management
Each unit type photographed once for rental listings, and the common areas for the building’s file.
Exterior and aerial views
Façade, lot, roof and surroundings: the drone shows the building in its neighbourhood, the yard and the parking access, with a certified pilot.

Good to know: photos extracted from the 3D tour do not replace the photo shoot
According to Matterport, 2D photos can be extracted from the 3D tour at any time after the scan, up to 4K: handy for adding an angle without going back on site. They are, however, taken from the positions and height of the scanning camera, and the automatic gallery does not produce exterior photos, again according to Matterport. For a listing, HDR photos framed on site remain the reference.
Real estate photographer in Montreal and on the South Shore: what we do
Panosphere 360 is a real estate photographer in Montreal and on the South Shore, based in Boucherville. We photograph condos, houses, plexes, model units, commercial spaces, office floors and buildings, for brokers, developers, building managers and owners of commercial spaces. Photos are taken in HDR with a wide-angle lens, retouched one by one and delivered 24 to 48 hours after the shoot in most cases, in web format and in high resolution.
HDR photos for real estate: how it works
An interior is always darker than what you see through the window. In a single exposure, the camera has to choose: the room or the view. In HDR, we take several exposures of the same view, from the darkest to the brightest, then merge them. The result keeps both: a bright living room and, beyond the window, the river, the yard or the street, clearly legible. Each photo then goes through retouching: accurate colours, straightened verticals, small flaws corrected and, for exteriors, the sky replaced if needed.
Photos and virtual tour for brokers: one appointment
For a broker, the hard part isn’t the photo, it’s the logistics: coordinating the seller, the photographer, the videographer and the virtual tour. Our way of working is simple: one appointment, one photographer. During the same visit, we capture the Matterport 3D virtual tour with the Pro3 camera, then photograph in HDR the views that will go in the listing. You receive the tour and the photos 24 to 48 hours later in most cases, then the floor plan of each floor 2 business days after the order, from the same supplier. Aerial drone views and real estate video, at public prices like the photos, are added at the same appointment.
According to Matterport, 2D photos can also be extracted from the 3D tour after the scan, up to 4K: a forgotten angle is added without going back on site, but the photo shoot framed on site remains the reference for the listing. What the 3D tour brings to buyers and tenants is explained on the real estate virtual tour page.
Condo photographer in Montreal
A condo sells on its light, its view and its common areas. The photos cover the unit room by room, the balcony and the view, then the building’s lobby, gym, terrace or pool. For a developer, photos of the model unit feed the project website, the sales office and advertising: the natural complement to the 3D tours we captured for SKYBLÜ Condos, at Cité Mirabel, and for Tour des Canadiens, in Montreal.
Commercial real estate photographer
A retail space, an office floor, a warehouse or a building for lease is photographed differently from a house: lobby and façade, volumes, clear height, fenestration, parking and access. Our property management clients, such as Groupe Forum, use our 3D tours for their marketing and leasing; the photos complete each space’s listing. The tour of a non-residential location can also be published on Google Maps (see the Google virtual tour). Marketing a hotel? See the virtual tour for hotels.

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Write to marc@panosphere360.com or call 514 262-9248.
How much does a real estate photographer cost in Montreal?
Our retouched HDR photo packages range from $250 to $350, for 25, 35 or 45 photos. The 25-photo package suits a condo or a small house; the 45-photo package, a large property or a building. Prices in Canadian dollars, taxes extra.
What is an HDR photo in real estate?
It is a photo obtained by merging several exposures of the same view: one for the interior, one for the window, one for the shadows. The result shows both the bright room and the view through the window, with natural colours. Each photo is then retouched.
Can the photos and the 3D virtual tour be done on the same day?
Yes, that is how we work: a single appointment and a single photographer for the Matterport scan and the photo shoot. You receive the tour and the photos 24 to 48 hours later, in most cases; the floor plan follows, 2 business days after the order.
Do you also photograph commercial spaces and office buildings?
Yes. As a commercial real estate photographer, we photograph office floors, retail spaces, warehouses, lobbies and façades, for building managers, landlords and commercial brokers. The 3D tour of a non-residential location can also be published on Google Maps (+ $200).
Can the photos be extracted from the 3D tour rather than taken separately?
Partly. According to Matterport, 2D photos can be extracted from the tour after the scan, up to 4K: one more angle without going back on site. They are taken from the scanning camera’s positions, indoors; for the listing, we recommend HDR photos framed on site.
Can I use the photos on Centris, my website and my social media?
Yes: the photos are delivered for marketing the property, that is, your listings, your website, your emails, your social media and your printed documents. For any other use, talk to us first.
Do you take drone photos?
Yes, with a certified drone pilot. Aerial views place the property in its neighbourhood, show the lot, the roof and the access, and are added to the photo package or the 3D tour, from $350. Flights depend on the weather and on the zones where they are authorized.
Do you travel to the South Shore and to the regions?
Yes. We are based in Boucherville, on the South Shore, and work in Montreal, Laval and across Quebec. Beyond about 100 km from Montreal, a travel fee of $0.73/km applies, shared between the properties of a single trip.
