Commercial · Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties
Office, industrial, retail, multifamily and hospitality assets — photographed for offering memoranda, leasing campaigns, development records and award submissions.
Estate Shutter Florida photographs commercial property across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties: office, industrial, retail, multifamily and hospitality assets, for owners, brokers, developers, architects and property managers. The work covers architectural photography, aerial and drone mapping, construction progress documentation, 3D scanning for leasing, and full image sets built for an offering memorandum. Commercial work is scoped and quoted per project rather than from the residential package matrix, because usage rights, crew time and deliverable specifications vary far more than they do on a listing.

A residential listing shoot has one audience and one purpose: persuade a buyer to book a showing. Commercial work almost never has that shape.
An offering memorandum needs images that survive being printed at A4 in a bound document, reproduced small in a financial summary, and blown up on a screen in a boardroom — which means resolution, straight verticals and consistent colour matter more than drama. A leasing campaign needs images that make a suite feel usable to a tenant rep who will never walk it. A construction progress set needs the same angles month after month, from marked positions, so that two frames six months apart are genuinely comparable. An architect submitting a project for an award needs the building photographed as architecture, at an hour chosen for the facade rather than for convenience.
Those are four different briefs that happen to use the same camera. Quoting them from a residential square-footage matrix would be pricing fiction, which is why we scope commercial work per project.
On a residential listing the licence question is simple, because the images market one property once. On a commercial assignment it is usually the largest variable in the quote, and the one clients are most often surprised by.
The practical questions are: who will use the images, for how long, and where. An owner using photographs on their own website and in one offering memorandum is a narrower licence than a brokerage syndicating the same set across national platforms, a developer using them in paid advertising, and a product manufacturer wanting them for their own marketing because their curtain wall is in the frame. Each of those is a different commercial value and it is fairer to price them differently than to charge everyone the highest rate.
We write the licence into the quote in plain language before the shoot rather than leaving it to be argued about afterwards. If several parties in a project want the same images — which on a development is normal — it is usually cheaper to say so at the start and buy a shared licence than to license the set three times.
Commercial aerial work goes well beyond a hero shot of a building. Site context for an acquisition, roof condition documentation, parking-count verification, phased construction progress from a fixed altitude and heading, orthomosaic maps and 3D site models are all routine requests, and they need planning rather than a drone and good weather.
Aerial work is flown by FAA Part 107 certificated remote pilots; LAANC authorisation is filed by the pilot before every controlled-airspace flight. South Florida is dense with controlled airspace — Miami International's Class B shelf covers much of Miami-Dade, Broward sits between three airports, and Palm Beach County sees published temporary flight restrictions from time to time — so the airspace at the specific site is checked before the scope is agreed rather than on the morning.
The other commercial-specific constraint is people. An occupied office park, an operating retail centre or an active construction site all contain people who have not consented to being photographed or overflown. Flight paths are planned around that, and on active sites we coordinate with the general contractor's safety requirements rather than around them.
It starts with a scope call rather than a booking form, because the questions that decide the quote — what the images are for, who will use them, what the deliverable specification is, whether the asset is occupied, whether there is site-safety induction — are not questions a form can ask usefully.
From there: a written scope and quote with the licence stated in it, a shoot date agreed around access and operational constraints, and delivery on the timeline set in the scope. For large or multi-building assets that is usually longer than a residential turnaround, and we would rather set a date we will meet than quote a headline number we will miss.
