Could not have been happier with the final product. Stefan's photos show cohesion with superb lighting. His photos paint a story and that's exactly what I was looking for. He knows which angle to take the shot, and makes sure each photo compliments its space. The price is very competitive and his professionalism is much appreciated. I highly recommend.
Drone Aerial Photography & Video in Roseville
Drone photography and video that puts the property in context for Roseville and Placer County listings, brands, and projects.
Roseville, Placer County
Why Roseville listings need drone aerial photography & video done right.
Roseville aerial coverage earns its keep on Highland Reserve hillside listings, Westpark and Fiddyment master-plan establishing aerials, and any home with a meaningful lot size or topographic differential. Most Roseville listings benefit from at least a few aerial stills as a baseline; premium tier inventory gets the full package with reveal moves and a video segment.

The Roseville coverage map.
Westpark and Fiddyment Farm have wide, west-facing exposures that favor late-afternoon and twilight scheduling. Highland Reserve hillside lots benefit from aerial reveal moves; many of those properties have downslope views toward the valley that you cannot capture from the ground.

The work, in Roseville
How STEFDPHOTO shoots Roseville.
The Roseville workflow leans heavier on aerial than the Sacramento workflow does. Westpark and Fiddyment lots photograph well from above because the streetscape is engineered to look good in plan view. Newer construction here also benefits from twilight scheduling more often than the Sacramento average because the spec colors come alive in warm magic-hour light. Where Sacramento listings are often shot on a tight one-visit schedule, Roseville luxury and view homes routinely use a two-visit cadence: one daylight visit for the bulk of the photos and a second twilight visit for the hero exteriors.

Roseville questions
Frequently asked about drone aerial photography & video in Roseville.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of the shoot?
Aerial work is rescheduled when wind, rain, or cloud cover would compromise the quality. The ground photography proceeds on schedule, and the aerial visit is added at the next workable window, usually within two to four days.
Can aerial footage be edited into the video walkthrough?
Yes. The aerial segment is shot with the cinematic walkthrough in mind so the cuts blend seamlessly. Both work as standalone deliverables and as combined assets in the listing's video.
Are your drone flights operated by an FAA Part 107-certified pilot?
Yes. STEFDPHOTO coordinates all commercial aerial work in partnership with FAA Part 107-certified operators. The certified pilot handles airspace authorization, FAA compliance, and flight operations. STEFDPHOTO directs the creative.
How high do you fly?
Most aerial coverage flies between 100 and 400 feet AGL depending on the property and the shot, within FAA Part 107 limits. Higher altitudes require waivers, which the certified operator manages where applicable.
Do you fly aerial for context shots over Roseville's commercial corridors?
Context aerials establishing proximity to commercial and entertainment corridors are common on Roseville listings. Flight planning respects the active commercial airspace and standard operating practices.

What a breath of fresh air Stefan is! A true professional. Always on time, seems to go anywhere I need him to, and always makes the homes he photographs for me look amazing. Started out using him for headshots, but now I will utilize his services for everything. You owe it to yourself to check him out. You will not be disappointed.
We've been using Stefan exclusively for a long time now. He's punctual, reasonably priced and the quality of his photographs are outstanding. We specialize in homes on acreage and homes with views and he's always able to capture the essence of these special properties. Our clients love his work and the results speak for themselves with hundreds of sold homes.
Working with Stefan is always a pleasure from start to finish. I cannot say enough good things. Communication from the beginning, to timeliness, not to mention fitting me in literally whenever I need him. He says 24 hour turnaround but often I have my photos back sooner, which means everything when putting up a listing. His photos are always edited so nicely and my clients have had so many good things to say about his photos and videos. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
