ABOUT NATHAN MANTOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Hello! I’m Nathan. I've been behind the camera for about 20 years. Starting in college and dabbling for several years until I decided to make a career of photography. My first endeavor was families & weddings before making the switch to real estate photography.
I started with real estate photography just before the great Nashville boom, around 2015. Nashville has been growing steadily for a long time, and I believe it would've happened sooner if the recession of 2008 hadn't happened. Although, this city was one of the few that kept going when other cities weren't. It was just after this that I bought a wide angle lens after seeing some incredible architecture photography and decided to give it a try.
After seeing how the industry was doing things, and not being happy with that standard, I happened to come across some photographers that were doing it different. They used off camera flash to create artistic shots of standard houses. Flash photography was something I always did with my portrait work, while others didn't. So adding it to real estate photography was just a no brainer for me. I'm often asked how I get my colors to pop and the extra flash is my answer!
Once you've found me and decided to use me for your real estate or Airbnb photography, I try to make the process as easy as possible. You can book Online, Phone, Text or E-Mail. Once all the details are nailed down, I do the job then deliver the photos and video via my website that you can use as a listing booster. It has information about the property, photos, video and your contact information. You can customize it to your needs, make marketing materials or customize url's. All done by you, or I can help guide you as well. All content must be paid before it's downloaded, as simple as Apple iTunes. Once paid, it downloads and you can upload to the MLS, Airbnb or wherever you please.
Although photography is my bread and butter, walkthrough video, drone photography and videography and headshots are other options I do as well. Feel free to look around the website and see if what I do is what you're looking for and contact me and we'll get started!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- How Far In Advance Do I Need to Book?
-
Most of the time 48 hours minimum. However, the more time the better, so I can schedule my day sensibly and I'm not trying to make it from Columbia to Red Boiling Springs in the same day. Also, sometimes 24 hours is doable too. The best thing to do is contact me either by phone, text or e-mail.
- Where are you located?
-
I'm based out of Hendersonville, but travel all over the mid state and southern Kentucky. Since 90% of my travel is Nashville, I base travel off downtown and if you draw a complete circle from 840, everything inside is normal rates. Outside the 840 circle will incur a travel fee. I don't like to add it, but with gas prices and wear and tear on my vehicle, it's a must in order to do business.
- What's Your Turnaround Time?
-
Typically 24 hours on photos only. Photo and video please allow up to 36 hours. Spring and Fall tend to be the busiest times of the year, so turn times could vary, but I try my best to turn everything as fast as possible. I do offer a rush turn for an additional fee.
- What payment options do you accept?
-
I deliver all photos and video via my online portal. Once complete, a custom listing website is delivered to you and you can either just download the photos & video or use it to market your listing. In order to access the photos and video you will have to pay first and that will unlock the downloads. All major cards are accepted and I use Stripe as a payment processor.
- My place isn't ready when I thought, can we reschedule?
-
I try to be as flexible as possible, and understand that things happen. Most the time, it's inclement weather or things aren't ready for photos yet. Just contact me and we can postpone and figure out a new time to reschedule.
