Downtown LA lofts, with the skyline still in the window
Loft conversions in the Arts District and the Historic Core, and high-rise condos on Bunker Hill and in South Park, in photos and video that keep the city lights in the glass.
Brick and steel inside, the city lights outside
A Downtown LA listing sells on the view and on the building. Buyers want to know what's outside the window, what the lobby feels like and what's a short walk away. Photos are in your inbox the next morning, and the listing video takes 2 to 4 business days.
The older buildings sit in the Historic Core, around the Broadway theaters and the Art Deco towers. We shot a double-height loft in the turquoise Eastern Columbia Building, with a black steel stair, and the rooftop pool under its clock tower. East of there, the Arts District lofts have brick, factory windows and tall ceilings. We shot one with a green velvet sectional under big wood-framed windows, with the skyline waiting beyond them.
The newer towers rise on Bunker Hill and around South Park, near Crypto.com Arena and L.A. Live. Those listings sell on height and the view across the basin. A high floor can mean the skyline one way and the hills the other, and both belong in the gallery. Silver Lake and Highland Park are a short drive north, and a buyer weighing a loft often looks there too.
The window is the hard part. Point a basic camera at floor-to-ceiling glass and you get a white rectangle or a black room. We bracket the shot and add flash where it helps, so the room keeps its brick and concrete and the skyline stays a skyline.
We lean on dusk. A loft building or a tower at blue hour, with the lights of the city coming on behind it, shows what living Downtown feels like. Airspace over much of Downtown is restricted, so a drone flight depends on the address. Where we can't fly, the photos and the dusk frames carry it.

Learn moreWhat does Downtown LA real estate photography cost?
The same as anywhere in LA: priced by the home's size. Photos start at $250, and listing packages run from $650 (Standard) to $2,200 (Signature). You see your exact price before you book.
Do you shoot lofts in the Arts District and the Historic Core?
Yes. Brick and concrete lofts, converted Art Deco buildings like the Eastern Columbia and new glass towers all come up. We shoot photos and video in one visit, and we work around building access, service elevator times and lobby rules.
How do you shoot a skyline view through floor-to-ceiling glass?
One exposure for the room, one for the city, blended into a single frame. Where a window is very bright we add flash inside, so the brick and the concrete keep their texture and the skyline stays a skyline.
Can you fly a drone over Downtown LA?
Not at every address. Much of Downtown sits under controlled airspace, so a flight depends on the building, and we check before we promise one. When we can't fly, the dusk photos and a rooftop or balcony view usually do the work.
Can you shoot a rooftop pool or a lobby along with the unit?
Yes. Rooftop pools, lounges and lobbies sell a Downtown unit, and we can shoot them in the same visit. Ask us when you book, and check the building's access hours. We shot a rooftop pool under the Eastern Columbia clock tower, and the tower was half the frame.
Which Downtown LA neighborhoods do you cover?
We cover Downtown LA, from the Historic Core and Broadway to Bunker Hill, South Park and the Arts District, plus Silver Lake and Highland Park just north.
