Ilya’s Photography sets the highest standards for quality in the industry with over 30 years of experience. He has enjoyed a lifelong passion for his work, and it is instantly evident with the results he delivers.

I first met Ilya at the Luxury Real Estate conference in Del Mar, California several months ago. I asked someone at the conference after I met him, “Who is that guy?” I was told he is the finest photographer in the world who captures the true essence of luxury real estate properties in the world! Over the past two years I have personally discovered that to be TRUE!!! We have become GREAT friends since our first meeting. He and his wife have become a gift to my wife and me.

With Ilya’s perfect taste and vision for each of his subjects – whether luxury real estate, or food, or cars, he is able to create results that take my breath away. He is an absolutely master of lighting and composition. The way I describe mastery is “unconscious competence”, and when he walks into a room with a camera he is totally in control of his environment.

So, about a month ago Ilya called me and said a friend of his was visiting the San Francisco Bay Area, and would I be able to have lunch with him. I told Ilya that I would be delighted to host his friend in any way I could. The day Ilya said his friend was arriving I receive a call from Ilya letting him know that his friend has just arrived at my office and could I meet with him right away. I was just four minutes from my office so I told him I would be right there.

I walked into my office to find Ilya, his wife Irene, and his cousin, Michael. What a wonderful surprise. The first thing he did was start takeing pictures. Ilya and his wife were visiting his cousin who lives in San Francisco, and decided to drive out to our office just for a fun surprised. We had an hour or so of sharing life and laughter.

The next month we were in Las Vegas together at the Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate Conference. Ilya was so kind to include me in so many of his photos throughout the conference. He had a presentation for me of some of his favorite luxury real estate photos, and I am sharing some of them with you so you can marvel at his creations.

Ilya has shot luxury estates in France, Spain, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Miami, Chicago, the Seattle area, plus many other locations all over the world. After checking out his work, my next question was, “How much does this type of quality photography cost for shooting a luxury home or estate?” Well, I discovered that he has VERY competitive rates that are negotiated as flat-rate prices for any of his assignments. He is even willing to offer long-term budgeted photo-shoot contracts. His flat-rate policy is greatly appreciated within our industry because it is THE rate no matter how much time it takes to complete the project. Again, I don’t think you will find a better value for your marketing dollar if you decide on Ilya’s photo services. If you are considering photography needs for any of your luxury real estate properties he is the person to contact immediately.

Ilya’s Photography works with exclusive clientele in a variety of countries and industries. As a result, his portfolio reveals an astonishing breadth of inspiration, dedication and talent. Go to his website and contact him directly. You will have the time of your life. Your East Bay lifestyle detective remains on duty. Until next time…
