HDR photography
Bracketed exposures blended by hand, so the windows keep the view and the room keeps its light. Interiors, exteriors, amenities, and building commons.
New York real estate & event photography
Listings in their best light. Events in the moment.
HDR interiors, floor plans, virtual staging, and listing video for New York agents and owners — and coverage that does justice to the galas, openings, and parties in between.
Selected work
What a shoot includes
Floor plans
Measured during the shoot, drawn as clean broker-ready 2D plans. The first thing serious buyers scroll to — no second appointment needed.
Virtual staging
Empty rooms furnished to match the building, not a generic showroom. Delivered alongside the true empty frames, MLS-compliant.
Listing video
Vertical reels and walkthrough tours cut for where buyers actually scroll — Instagram, StreetEasy, and your listing page.
Event photography
The moments a company or a family actually keeps: the toast, the handshake, the ribbon falling, the table mid-laugh. Coverage is candid-first — the room as it felt, the speeches as they landed — with the formal group shots done in minutes, so guests get back to the party. Photos are delivered ready for the press release, the recap email, and the office wall.

Questions agents ask
- How do I book a shoot?
- Call (917) 672-1365. We set the date on the call, then text you a link to finish setting up online — scheduling, delivery, and invoicing all live in one place. Events and headshots book the same way.
- What areas do you cover?
- All five boroughs, with most of our work in Manhattan and Brooklyn, plus Long Island, Westchester, and Greenwich, Connecticut. Listings and events alike.
- Do you photograph events?
- Yes — corporate events, parties, birthdays, galas, ribbon cuttings, and organization functions, along with headshots and team portraits. Coverage is quiet and candid-first, with the formal group shots handled efficiently so guests get back to the event.
- Do you photograph occupied apartments?
- Yes — most listings are occupied. We work room by room so the shoot stays low-friction for tenants and owners, and flag anything worth moving before shooting it.
- What do I get besides photos?
- Depending on the package: a measured 2D floor plan, virtual staging of empty rooms, and a listing video or vertical reel. Everything is delivered through one download link, sized for MLS, StreetEasy, and print.
About the studio
Josh Mak Photography has been shooting New York since 2004 — hundreds of listings across prewar co-ops, new-development condos, brownstones, and penthouses, and the galas, openings, and celebrations of the people who fill them. Founded by Josh Mak, the studio sends photographers who know the buildings and the boroughs — and when a room has one good hour of light, we schedule around it.
