About Henri Brownell
Professional Real Estate Photographer
With over 20 years of experience in photography, graphic design, and marketing, I specialize in real estate and commercial property photography that helps agents, builders, and businesses stand out in a competitive market.
My goal is simple: to create visually stunning images that increase engagement, attract buyers, and drive sales. From HDR real estate photography to drone shots and twilight photography, I provide high-quality, professional imagery that brings properties to life.
“While we may not be the cheapest photographer in the area, no one will work harder to provide you with the best quality and value for your marketing dollars.” – Henri Brownell
What is different in what we do?
You only have a moment to capture the attention of a buyer. High performing agents understand that great photography and video can make a difference between a sale and a listing that just sits. We strive to give you the best and give you the tools you need to get noticed in today’s digital market.
Having the Right Tools
We prioritize the latest technology where it makes sense. This allows us to capture low-light conditions, enhance mood, and showcase a listing’s unique “vibe” with high-quality source material—it’s never just point and click.
For video, we use high-end gimbals, professional lenses, and specialized lighting for extreme conditions. Our industry-standard drones shoot in CRAW format, maximizing dynamic range for vibrant, high-quality footage.
Methodology
HDR photography is our primary method for capturing still images. We blend multiple exposures into a single, high-quality image. Why is this important?
Window Pulls – A phone camera or single shot can’t capture both interior details and outdoor views. Our HDR process ensures both are beautifully showcased.
Better Color Quality – True colors and ambiance matter. HDR photography provides greater control for more precise, vibrant images.
Image Correction – Shooting in RAW captures more detail, allowing us to fine-tune composition, straighten lines, and deliver polished results.
Experience
We use highly experienced and specialized editors for film and video. Having this team allows us to deliver the 24-hour turnaround times and quality you need while maintaining a competitive price point. A dedicated team also ensures consistency across the board, so you always know what to expect.
In addition to our strong team, we continuously stay up to date with the latest trends, ensuring you have the services needed to stay ahead of the competition.
