Why Gold Coast agents choose K94
Gold Coast luxury listings require Elite-tier photography as baseline — twilight, drone (where airspace permits), 3D virtual tour, and cinematic listing video are expected, not extras. Buyers at this price tier shop visually before scheduling.
Every shoot uses true multi-exposure HDR on a tripod with a full-frame Canon R6 Mark II - the same workflow K94 Production runs across all of Chicagoland. The result for Gold Coast listings: windows that show the actual view, interiors with accurate color, and the polished gallery serious buyers expect when they scroll Zillow.
Three packages cover every Gold Coast listing: Starter ($175) for condos and under-1,500 sq ft homes; Pro ($300) adds a 60-90 second cinematic listing video; Elite ($500) layers in drone aerials and a 3D virtual tour for the homes that warrant it. Compare packages.

Which Gold Coast sub-areas do you cover?

Do you offer drone photography in Gold Coast?
Yes for properties where airspace permits. Chicago has many controlled airspace zones requiring FAA LAANC authorization, especially near downtown, the lakefront, and the river. K94 Production is FAA Part 107 certified and handles LAANC authorization. We will tell you upfront if your Gold Coast listing's airspace requires advance authorization.
What package is best for a Gold Coast listing?
With Gold Coast's luxury market and average home price range of $600K-$5M+, the right package depends on the property. Starter ($175) suits condos and smaller homes; Pro ($300) is the sweet spot for most single-family listings and adds a listing video; Elite ($500) is recommended for luxury homes and properties where drone footage and 3D tours will make the listing stand out.
Do you photograph condos and high-rises in Gold Coast?
Yes. K94 Production photographs single-family homes, condos, lofts, and multi-unit listings throughout Gold Coast. Smaller units fit comfortably in the Starter package; larger or higher-end units typically need Pro or Elite for full media coverage including listing video and 3D tour.
Why do Gold Coast listings benefit from professional photography?
With Gold Coast homes priced in the $600K-$5M+ range, buyers do the bulk of property shopping online before requesting a tour. Listings with professional HDR photography measurably outperform smartphone-photo listings on both click-through rate from MLS thumbnails and days on market. In Gold Coast's market, professional visuals are a strategic necessity.
