Job Description
Regalis Realty Media is hiring reliable real estate photographers to shoot listings across Northern & Central New Jersey. Here's what makes this different: you only shoot — you never edit anything. You capture the listing to our standard and send the raw media straight to our editor. That's the whole job. All editing, retouching, delivery, scheduling, and client communication are handled in-house — no late nights in Lightroom, no chasing agents. What you'll do Travel to listings and shoot HDR interior + exterior photography to our brand standard Capture floor-plan scans (CubiCasa — we'll train you) and, if equipped, video, drone, and 3D tours Send the raw media to our editor the same day — no editing on your end, ever Follow our shot list and style guide for consistent galleries every time Represent Regalis professionally with agents and homeowners on site What we're looking for Experienced real estate / interior photographers only — whether you've freelanced on your own or shot for another company. This is not a learn-on-the-job role. A proven portfolio — required Reliability above all — on time, every time, with clear communication Gear you must have (every shoot)

Minimum bar:
a Sony a7 III, Nikon Z6 or D750, Canon R8, or a top APS-C like the Sony a6700. We shoot on the Sony A7 IV as our reference — anything at that level or above is ideal.

many entry bodies only bracket 3 frames — yours must do 5.
Lens:
a rectilinear ultra-wide — 16mm full-frame equivalent (14-18mm range; ~10-11mm on APS-C crop camera). Sharp corners and straight walls — not a fisheye .

Examples:
an iPhone running iOS 18+ (iPhone XR/XS or newer — Pro models with LiDAR, iPhone 12 Pro and later, scan most accurately), an iPad Pro with LiDAR , or an Android 12+ phone with ARCore support (most recent Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel) Your own vehicle and a valid driver's license — you'll drive to listings across NJ and Brooklyn No flash needed — we shoot natural-light HDR brackets Gear for the job types you want (only required if you take those jobs) Video jobs: a gimbal stabilizer 3D tour jobs: a Zillow 3D Home-compatible 360 camera — Ricoh Theta (Z1, X, SC2, or V) or Insta360 (X5, X4, X3, X2, or ONE RS 1-Inch 360 Edition) Drone jobs: an FAA Part 107 license and your own droneYou don't need all of it to start. With just the core kit — your camera and a CubiCasa-ready phone — you can shoot photo and floor-plan jobs. Add a gimbal, a 360 camera, or a drone (with Part 107) and you unlock those job types and the extra pay that comes with them. What we provide A reliable stream of paid bookings All editing, delivery, and client comms handled for you Clear onboarding, shot lists, and brand standards Fast, dependable per-shoot pay Room to grow into drone, video, and branding work Pay — this is a 1099 contract role paid per shoot: from $90 per standard photo shoot , plus add-on pay at each stop: Floor-plan scan: +$15 (or +$40 with Zillow 3D) Drone capture: +$40 Video capture: +$50-$100 (by type) Oversized homes (5,000+ sq ft): +$50 Standalone jobs — a floor-plan-only, drone-only, or 3D-only booking (no photo shoot) is paid at the standard photo-shoot rate of $90 , since each is a full trip out. The add-on rates above apply only when those services are captured during a photo shoot on the same visit. A typical listing pays $105-$250 , and a full day of bookings runs $210-$450 . Consistent, reliable shooters get the most volume. We're hiring now and review portfolios quickly. Qualified applicants are invited to a paid test shoot.
