Maple Heights Residence
A four-bedroom family home shot in a single morning: HDR interiors, a twilight exterior, and detail frames for the brochure and MLS gallery.
I'm James Whitfield, a real-estate photographer from San Francisco, CA
I shoot, film, and polish homes so they earn the click, the showing, and the offer — on schedule, every time.

Marina Sky Loft
A downtown loft with floor-to-ceiling glass: blue-hour balcony frames, a 60-second listing film, and vertical cuts for Instagram Reels.
About me
I'm a licensed real-estate photographer serving the Bay Area for over eight years. I started Stillgate to give agents one reliable crew for the whole listing: stills, film, aerials, and edits that come back fast and look honest.
Every shoot is planned around your listing date — staged rooms, best light, and a gallery your sellers will be proud to share.

One crew for the whole listing — from the first shutter click to the final MLS upload.
Listing Photography
Bright, straight, true-to-life interiors and exteriors — HDR blended and delivered next day, ready for the MLS.
Listing Films
Stabilized walkthrough films with licensed music and social cuts that keep buyers watching to the last room.
Photo Retouching
Window pulls, sky replacements, lawn touch-ups, and clutter removal — invisible edits that flatter without misleading.
Aerial Photography
FAA-licensed drone stills and orbits that show the lot, the street, and the neighborhood story from above.
Lighting Setup
Portable strobes and staging direction on shoot day so dark hallways and north-facing rooms still glow.
Video Color Grading
A consistent, filmic grade across your walkthrough, aerials, and Reels cuts — skin tones honest, whites clean.
