Joey Childs Media

San Jose photography, from the ground and the air.

JC Media shot before it built websites, and it still shoots. Real estate and aerial work is the bulk of it, plus 3D mapping, commercial, and events. When we are building the site too, the same team shoots the photos, so the two actually match.

What we shoot

Real estate & listings

Interiors, exteriors, and twilight shots that make a listing worth clicking. Fast turnaround, because listings are time-sensitive.

Aerial & drone

Property, neighborhood, and site context from the air: the shot that shows a buyer where a home actually sits.

3D photogrammetry & aerial mapping

Aerial capture turned into measurable 3D models of a property or site, useful for listings, construction progress, and marketing a location that a flat photo cannot carry.

Commercial & events

Product, location, and event coverage. Documentary more than posed. We would rather catch the moment than direct it.

Need photos, a site, or both?

When we are building the site anyway, the same team shooting the photos means the imagery is made for the layout instead of squeezed into it.
