Why Albany Realtors & Investors Choose Orion

Albany is the political, educational, and commercial center of the Capital Region, featuring one of Upstate New York's most diverse housing markets. From 19th-century brick rowhouses in Center Square to two-family investment flats in Pine Hills and leafy mid-century colonials in Buckingham Lake, every listing demands photography tailored to its distinct architectural character and buyer demographic.

As remote buyers and out-of-town investors from New York City and Westchester continue targeting Albany for multi-family cash flow and accessible homeownership, first impressions happen entirely online. Listings featuring high-dynamic-range interior photography and certified drone aerials average 68% more online views and significantly faster contract signings. High-caliber media isn't an added expense — it's the engine that powers multiple-offer situations.

Headquartered in Cohoes just 15 minutes north along I-787, Orion Media delivers same-week shoot availability and guaranteed 24-hour turnaround with zero travel fees anywhere in the City of Albany. Whether preparing a single-family renovation on Western Avenue or a five-unit rental portfolio in Midtown, we deliver crisp, balanced, MLS-compliant images that stand out in crowded feeds.

Common Questions

Albany Real Estate Photography FAQs

How quickly can you shoot and deliver an Albany listing? +

We offer same-week scheduling throughout Albany and Albany County. All standard HDR photography packages (Essential and Aerial Pro) are delivered next-day within 24 hours of the shoot. Media Pro and Elite packages including video walkthroughs and 3D Matterport tours are delivered within 48 to 72 hours.

Do you photograph multi-family and rental properties in Albany? +

Yes! Multi-family homes in neighborhoods like Pine Hills, Midtown, and Beverwyck represent a major portion of Albany's real estate transactions. We photograph each unit thoroughly — capturing kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and clean utility basements — allowing out-of-town investors and local buyers to inspect the asset accurately before making an offer.

Can you fly drones in downtown Albany near state buildings? +

Yes. Ryan McHale is an FAA Part 107 certified commercial remote pilot. Controlled airspace surrounding Albany International Airport and state government complexes requires FAA LAANC digital airspace authorization, which we handle routinely in-house prior to every flight. We are fully insured and adhere strictly to all federal flight safety regulations.

How do you handle older Albany historic homes with low light or narrow layouts? +

Historic rowhouses in Center Square and Hudson/Park often have long, narrow floor plans with deep shadows and high ceilings. We shoot with ultra-wide cinema lenses and bracketed multi-flash/ambient exposures. This technique balances interior light with outdoor window views, avoids distorted wide-angle fisheye bends, and ensures historic moldings and fireplaces look their best.

Are there any travel fees for real estate shoots in Albany? +

No travel fees whatsoever. Orion Media is headquartered in Cohoes, NY, less than 15 minutes north of downtown Albany via I-787. Every neighborhood across Albany, Colonie, Bethlehem, and Guilderland is fully covered under our standard, transparent package pricing.
