## About shooting in Sacramento

Sacramento is the anchor city for every photographer working this region. Inventory is split across architectural eras that do not photograph the same way: the early-1900s craftsman blocks of East Sacramento need a different lighting approach than newer Natomas builds or the mid-century estates in Sierra Oaks. The river-adjacent Pocket and Greenhaven neighborhoods reward aerial coverage; the deep tree canopies of Land Park and Curtis Park need flash-and-ambient blending to keep interior whites clean. STEFDPHOTO has been shooting Sacramento listings since launch.

The Sacramento workflow is built around three constants. First, listings move fast inside the I-5/I-80 loop, which means turnaround needs to be measured in hours, not days, on volume listings. Standard delivery is 36 hours. Second, every shoot includes a flash-and-HDR composite workflow because Sacramento's exterior light and indoor incandescent fixtures pull color in opposite directions. Third, twilight is on the menu year-round because Sacramento's sky has more usable color than people realize, particularly the high cirrus afternoons in late spring and early fall.

The valley floor sun is hard. East Sacramento canopies create heavy shade contrast that punishes a single-flash workflow. Tule fog rolls in from late autumn through late winter and frequently kills exterior windows in the morning hours. Twilight scheduling is calendar-driven around the actual sunset window.
