Pete presented high quality images at short notice for the sale of our block of land. The images were exactly what we were looking for including some fantastic drone images showing the coastline. We will definitely be using Real Image Photography again and will recommend to others. Thanks Pete

Pete provided the perfect atmosphere for my family (of 24) to relax and enjoy the Family Photo experience. We all had a fantastic time. Fun, friendly and in the most amazing location (thanks to Petes local knowledge). A day to remember and photos to treasure. Easy to communicate with and great value for money. I recommend Real Image Photography for all your professional photo needs.

I have had Pete do a few properties that I have had for sale. The quality of the photos really highlight the best features of the homes. He is very efficient at getting the best shot and his prices are great value. I would recommend him highly. Richard Dunsborough.

Working with Pete at Real Image Photography was an absolute pleasure. I currently live in Brisbane and wanted some photos of Indjidup WA for a special occasion. Pete shared some of his exisiting personal work with me, and not finding exactly what I wanted he took a detailed brief and provided loads of great advice as to what was going to get the best outcome for the photos I wanted. Pete provided a large range of high quality photos which included some amazing aerial shots taken with his drone, and turned the project around really quickly. We couldnt have been more pleased with Petes service
