In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network podcast, Aaron Horner sits down with Luke Strappelli, a CGN client success manager, to answer the photography questions that come up over and over from remodeling clients. Aaron spent years traveling to shoot on-location photography for CGN clients and has been building a full photography guide, so this one gets tactical. They cover what actually separates a good photo from a bad one (spoiler: it's not just camera quality β€” it's staging and whether someone can picture themselves living in the space), why real estate photographers are the wrong fit for emotion-driven remodeling work, and what you should expect to pay β€” from the $200–$600 budget end up to $2,000+ day rates. Aaron breaks down the five categories of photos every remodeler needs, why high-end photographers shoot with the interior lights off, how to prep both the space and the photographer, where to find a shooter if you're in a rural area, how many photos to aim for per room, and what to do when a family has already moved back in. If you've ever looked at a beautiful remodel captured in a flat, lifeless photo and winced, this episode will show you how to stop leaving sales on the table with bad media.
