Present the whole property

More than attractive rooms.

Buyers decide quickly whether a listing deserves more attention. Give them clear, polished photography that explains the home, reveals the setting, and makes the next step feel worthwhile. Back Forty creates MLS-ready photography, aerial coverage, cinematic property video, vertical social edits, and iGUIDE tours for Alberta realtors who need strong work delivered on schedule.

A practical creative partner

Built around the way realtors actually work.

A listing day has moving parts: access details, occupied homes, weather, deadlines, rural directions, aerial conditions, MLS requirements, and a seller waiting to see the result. We keep communication clear, move efficiently on site, and deliver a consistent set of finished assets that can go straight into the campaign.

Show the whole property

Photography that helps buyers understand the listing.

Strong real estate photography is not only about making a room look attractive. It should explain the layout, establish scale, show how spaces connect, and make the home feel worth visiting. Exterior photographs introduce the approach and setting; interiors reveal flow, finishes, and natural light; detail images give the listing character without hiding the practical information buyers need.

For acreages and rural properties, the story extends beyond the house. Aerial photography can show the land, outbuildings, tree cover, neighbouring features, roads, and relationship between the home and its surroundings. Ground-level coverage then brings the viewer back into the spaces they will actually live in.

Back Forty works with realtors, brokerages, property owners, builders, rentals, and commercial clients throughout Athabasca, Athabasca County, northern Alberta, Edmonton, and beyond.

One appointment, complete coverage

Every format the listing needs.

Choose a focused photography session or combine services into one coordinated property-media package.

01

MLS-ready photography

Clean, carefully edited interior and exterior images delivered in high-resolution and listing-ready formats. The gallery makes it simple to download a single photograph or the complete set.

02

Acreage and aerial photography

Drone and ground coverage work together to show land, access, outbuildings, views, waterfront, commercial sites, and the wider setting that cannot be understood from the driveway alone.

03

Cinematic property video

A considered property film uses movement, composition, sound, and pacing to lead buyers through the home and create an emotional sense of place without sacrificing clarity.

04

Vertical social video

Mobile-first edits give realtors a useful way to announce a listing, feature its strongest details, and reach audiences on Instagram, Facebook, and other social channels.

05

iGUIDE tours and measurements

Interactive iGUIDE tools help buyers explore room relationships and dimensions before the showing, while giving agents a practical link to add to the listing and marketing campaign.

06

Staging and listing preparation

On-site home staging can refine layout and finishing details using what is already present. Virtual staging is available for selected vacant rooms when buyers need help understanding scale and possibility.

Athabasca, Edmonton & northern Alberta

Local knowledge for every listing day.

Properties outside major centres bring different considerations: long approaches, changing weather, seasonal roads, acreage boundaries, outbuildings, aerial conditions, and the need to make every trip count. We plan for those realities and communicate clearly when conditions may affect exterior or drone work.

Whether the listing is a home in town, an Edmonton property, country acreage, lake property, farm, rental, commercial site, or one-of-a-kind rural destination, the goal remains the same: give buyers enough accurate visual information to take the next step.

Real estate photography FAQ

Planning the listing media.

Where do you provide real estate photography?

Back Forty is based in Athabasca and serves Athabasca County, Westlock, Slave Lake, Boyle, Lac La Biche, northern Alberta, Edmonton, and surrounding communities. Rural properties, acreages, farms, recreational properties, and travel assignments are welcome.

How quickly are real estate photographs delivered?

Standard turnaround is confirmed with each booking and planned around the listing deadline. Next-day rush delivery may be available for an additional fee when the schedule allows.

What files do realtors receive?

Finished galleries include polished, high-resolution photographs and practical web or MLS-ready files. Commissioned listing photography can be downloaded individually or together without a per-image checkout.

Can photography, aerials, video and iGUIDE be booked together?

Yes. Combined packages keep the visual style consistent and reduce the need for separate appointments. The Whole Nine Yards brings photography, cinematic video, vertical social video, aerial coverage, and iGUIDE together.

Do you photograph acreages and rural properties?

Yes. Rural listings are a major part of our work. Coverage can show the home, land, approach, outbuildings, views, access, and the relationship between all parts of the property.

What happens if weather affects the shoot?

We monitor conditions and communicate when rain, snow, wind, smoke, or poor visibility could affect exterior or aerial work. Interior photography may still proceed, while weather-sensitive coverage can be adjusted when practical.

Do you offer real estate video for social media?

Yes. Vertical social edits are designed for mobile viewing and can be added to photography or broader property-media packages. Cinematic property tours are also available for listings that need a more complete story.
