Photography Testimonials

When you’re selling high-end real estate in Manhattan having top-notch photographs of each property is the most crucial aspect of the marketing strategy. This is why whenever I’m about to debut a new property for sale Ryan is my first call. He has a sixth sense for immediately determining what will be the best “WOW” shot for each room of a property. The final product is always exceptional, my sellers are always thrilled with the photographs of their homes, and as a vital marketing tool Ryan’s work helps me sell my listings faster and for the highest possible price.

Ryan is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best photographer I have worked with in my 16-year career in New York City. Ever since we met his vision has enabled my marketing to be elevated to a place I didn't know was possible. After years of feeling the photographers I was working with wanted to rush through the shoot to get on to their next appointment, I now know that I have a patient ally in my corner that is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the result is nothing short of perfection.

Ryan not only takes exquisite photographs but exhibits professionalism in all aspects of the job. He is talented, patient and calm, and most importantly knows how to take beautiful photographs and interpret what clients are looking for. He has always produced top quality results. I would confidently recommend him as your next photographer.

In the challenging world of real estate, it’s a blessing to have someone with the talent of Ryan. His eye and understanding of property marketing is the best in the business. Never afraid of rolling up his sleeves, Ryan’s attention to detail is a great differentiator when compared to others in the industry. Thoughtful composition and exceptional execution are his trademark talents and they are evident in every frame.

Ryan is my go to person for my photoshoots, especially for my most discerning clients. He and I immediately sync when we walk into a home and get to work preparing each room to look its best by correcting even the slightest of imperfections. His eye for detail and knowledge of photography result in beautiful, realistic photos, a must in my business. I consider Ryan to be part of my team and a selling point when making a presentation to my potential clients.

You have an enormous amount of talent and provide my clients with personalised service by being willing to spend additional time in explaining the process and configuring the perfect shot which often involves removing adding personal items of the owners. Your diplomacy in doing this ensures the clients are supportive of the process.

Our company has acquired more than 55 years experience, and so we can afford to be selective about who we work with. When it came to meeting Ryan so many years ago, we knew we had a photographer who not only had a reputation for being the best, but someone who could consistently achieve the results we were after.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Ryan Lahiff and believe him to be the best real estate photographer I’ve ever worked with. He always knows exactly what I want my campaign to portray, and ensures that my vision is beautifully packaged and delivered to potential buyers.

It has been my privilege to work with Ryan Lahiff over the last eight years. I commend Ryan’s professional work ethic and his incredible attention to detail. Neither before, nor since, have I met a photographer who matched his artistic eye, and I miss working with him. I commend Ryan to anyone who has the foresight to snap him up.

Photo shoots are sometimes a stressful process for the vendor, however Ryan’s calm presence and unflappable attitude is a god-send! He has a unique ability to reassure worried vendors, as well as articulate his creative process for the more high demand vendors who like to have their say! When I know Ryan is booked for the shoot, I know my vendors are in good hands.

Ryan Lahiff’s premium photography with an eye for attention to detail, and premier customer service, has been a vital ingredient in my success in achieving record breaking property sales results over the last ten years.

Across the last 3 ½ years working with Ryan, I have always found him composed and flawless.  I could always have confidence that he would impress the fussiest of my sellers, be patient with the ones that needed hand holding and be calm with the ones who were anxious.  Ryan could always be relied upon to either see the room in the exact same way I envisioned it, or on occasion come up with something even better. With a caring demeanor and an eye for detail, Ryan is the perfect combination.

What a pleasure to have Ryan take the marketing photographs for the upcoming sale of my Property; from his attention to detail in setting up the perfect photograph every time, to his ability to genuinely listen to my ideas and humbly offer his suggestions, to his professional and personal attributes, I can’t thank you enough and truly believe that your photographs contributed to selling my property in two days.

Ryan was incredibly thorough and meticulous, and consistent in that all the photos look the same despite the spaces having drastically different lighting. He was able to take a dark, historic tenement building that is notoriously difficult to photograph and make it bright, vivid, and inviting. He was great to work with – always punctual, flexible, and pleasant. I highly recommend Ryan Lahiff!

As a working photographic artist, it was important to me to ensure that my penthouse home of 30 years was perfectly photographed. Ryan did a superb job. He worked collaboratively, incorporated all my input and added his own personal touch to the work resulting in a set of images that were perfect. I couldn't be happier and can recommend Ryan without reservation.
