Reasons for photography training for your architecture or real estate brokerage?
Well-trained employees can significantly improve the quality of internal photo documentation, save costs and increase efficiency. Here are the main advantages explained in detail:
Improved quality of internal photo documentation: By training your employees, you can significantly increase the quality of internal photo documentation. Well-trained employees are able to create clear, professional and appealing images that significantly improve the documentation of construction progress or real estate objects.
Cost savings due to reduced need for external photographers: By training your employees, you reduce your reliance on external photographers. This leads to significant cost savings, as you need to hire professional photographers less often while still obtaining high-quality photos.
Fast and flexible creation of marketing material: Trained employees can respond quickly and flexibly to the needs of the marketing department. Whether for brochures, websites, or social media, the skills they have learned enable them to create professional images at any time, thereby supporting your marketing strategy.
Strengthening the skills and motivation of your employees: Invest in the further education of your employees and promote their skills. This not only increases the quality of work but also the motivation and satisfaction of employees, as they learn new, valuable skills.
Optimization of communication through expressive images: Expressive and well-composed images improve internal and external communication. You can present complex information more clearly and effectively, which is advantageous for both documentation and project presentation.
Individual training according to your needs
A customized architectural photography training program offers your company the opportunity to optimally meet specific needs and objectives. In this section, you will learn why a tailor-made training program is particularly advantageous and how it can be adapted to the specific requirements of your company.
Addressing specific requirements and goals: Every company has different requirements and goals when it comes to photography. Through a customized training program, we can specifically address the unique needs of your company.
Flexibility and customized content: A tailor-made training program offers the flexibility to cover exactly the topics that are most relevant to your team. Whether it's the basics of photography, advanced techniques of image composition, special applications of smartphones in photography, or detailed image editing techniques, the content is adapted to your specific requirements.
Practice-oriented exercises and direct feedback: Through practice-oriented exercises and direct feedback, your employees can immediately apply and improve what they have learned. For example, we could integrate an exercise in which your team photographs one of your current projects and receives immediate feedback on perspective, lighting, and composition. This promotes rapid learning and the direct application of knowledge in everyday work.
Time and cost efficiency: Individual training courses are often more efficient and targeted than general training programs. Since the content is specifically tailored to the needs of your company, your employees spend less time on irrelevant topics and can concentrate on what really matters. This saves not only time but also costs.
Long-term improvement and competitive advantage: By investing in a customized architectural photography training program, you not only increase the quality of your internal documentation and marketing materials but also create a long-term competitive advantage. Well-trained employees are able to consistently create high-quality photos that professionally represent your company and improve perception among customers and partners.
Training costs
The costs for architectural photography training courses are calculated individually for each training course in order to meet the specific requirements and needs of your company. Various factors influence the price:
Training content: Depending on which theory and practice blocks are included, the duration of the training varies between half-day and full-day training courses.
Number of employees: The number of participating employees influences the costs, as larger groups require more intensive support.
Training location: Costs may vary depending on the training location. If the training takes place on-site at your company, there may be travel costs and preparation time. Alternatively, training courses can take place in specially equipped seminar rooms, which also influences the pricing.
Equipment of the training venue: The availability and quality of the technical equipment on site play a role. High-quality cameras, lighting, and computers for image editing can cause additional costs.

About me
Albrecht Voss
I have been working as a photographer since 2010, primarily photographing modern architecture in the magnificent mountain regions of Europe. My aim is to create a work of art with every photograph. For this I use a wide variety of camera technology, from compact cameras and various drones to the Hasselblad medium format camera. My photos have already appeared in all German photo magazines and I have created photo series for Hasselblad, Gitzo, Manfrotto and Lowepro, among others.
