Silver Lake mid-century and hillside homes, framed to match their lines
Mid-century and hillside homes in Silver Lake, framed to respect the lines of the house, with video and drone to show the site.
Hillside lots and odd angles, framed to read clearly
Silver Lake is where we shoot the odd angles: mid-century and modern hillside homes with cantilevered decks and views of the reservoir or the city. The gallery is in your inbox the next morning, and the listing video takes 2 to 4 business days. The design does the talking, and the photos stay out of its way.
Silver Lake houses aren't tract homes. Buyers shop design as much as square footage: a roofline, a wall of glass angled toward the reservoir, a deck hung off the hillside. Straight-on shots flatten all of it. We frame to the lines of the house, use natural light instead of flash, and pick angles that show how the home sits on its lot.
On a hillside the lot and the view are half the story. A drone shows how the house is terraced into the slope, how close the neighbors are and what the reservoir or skyline looks like from the deck. Twilight gives you the glow these houses are built for.
A Silver Lake listing usually has a point of view: mid-century lines, a careful remodel, maybe an architect's name on the plans. We shoot it that way. Sightlines stay clean, natural light carries the room, and the angles make an unusual floor plan easy to follow.
So many of these homes sit on hillsides that we plan drone into the shoot by default. It's the best way to show how the house is sited, how private the deck is and what the view looks like from above. Add a dusk photo, and the listing looks like the house does in person.

Learn moreWhat does Silver Lake 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 mid-century and architectural homes in Silver Lake?
Yes. Mid-century, modern and architect-designed homes across Silver Lake are common jobs for us, and we frame each room to respect the home's lines. Photos, video and drone are shot in one visit.
Do odd hillside houses take longer to turn around?
No. Photos and drone are in your inbox the next morning, even for a house with strange angles. The listing video takes 2 to 4 business days.
Why does drone matter for Silver Lake's hillside homes?
Many Silver Lake houses hang off a hillside with decks and views you can't see from the street. A drone shows how the house is sited, how private it is and what the view really looks like. That context is a big part of how these homes get shopped.
Do you shoot twilight photography for hillside homes?
Yes. Real twilight is in Signature, or a $300 add-on. It catches the indoor-outdoor glow that mid-century and modern hillside homes are built for, which a daytime photo can't do.
Which Silver Lake neighborhoods do you cover?
We cover Silver Lake, from the reservoir to the hillside streets above Sunset, and the Eastside neighborhoods nearby.

“There were a few videos that my realtor colleagues had shot, and I remember thinking they were outstanding. I found out later they were all Virtual View Tours' work. When I finally hired them for my own listing, they did not disappoint. We were extremely happy with both photos and videos”
