Introducing YouShoot

YouShoot from Urban Angles is a no-touch solution to getting the best images possible without a professional on-site.

What do you do when you can’t shoot a property and your business relies on it? You invent a way to do it. YouShoot (archived external destination unavailable) gives anyone with smartphone access to professionally retouched images.

Initially created to address restrictions in Melbourne due to COVID-19 lockdowns, You Shoot solves the problem of not being able to get a photographer on-site, either because of restrictions or a limited budget.

Drawing on the expertise of photography professionals, Urban Angles has devised a quick step-by-step guide for anyone with a smartphone.  It’s easy to read and takes the vendor, agent, or manager through the process of shooting a home for sale or rent. For those with less confidence using a camera phone, an appointment with a photographer can be arranged. A consultation with a property marketing manager and photographer is highly recommended to help agents or property managers develop a photography style consistent with their brand.

In or out of lockdown, it’s ideal for regional agents looking for better quality images as well as property managers who want to present a professional appearance, higher perceived value, and increased competition by showcasing rental properties or property for sale in remote regional areas with professionally finished images.

“For our rentals, a lot of landlords don’t consider professional photography like sales campaigns would but YouShoot fits perfectly in a space between, where you can get good quality photography for a reasonable price. Once I had a chat with a photographer for a few pointers, my photos looked great and when they came back they were even better. I think YouShoot is an excellent, innovative product and we’ll be using it again, especially for Property Management. I’m a big fan.”– George Metax, Barry Plant

Agents throughout country Victoria, region NSW, Far North Queensland, and beyond often struggle to find quality resources to help them present a listing from its best angles. You Shoot offers real estate agents nationally the opportunity to build a marketing campaign with a professional overlay that increases enquiries and a higher selling price.

There are plenty of agents in far-flung regions throughout Australia who don’t have access to professional editing. With YouShoot, they simply send through the images to our studio, where our retouchers give the photography a professional touch.”

Agents in Melbourne have embraced the opportunity and are keen early adopters of YouShoot. Many have used the product to list properties in anticipation of changes to rules around private inspections being eased at short notice. It’s another creative marketing strategy agents have deployed to list properties during lockdown to stimulate interest amongst buyers who are ready to go once restrictions are lifted.

“We’ve had great results, we used YouShoot for two properties, and one sold during lockdown! It was perfect for the lockdown period and useful for situations where we couldn’t get access to the. Property with a photographer. Great value for money and the process was easy.” – Kristen Parker, Barry Plant Doreen

Knowledge-base context

How this topic fits current Urban Angles guidance

The retouching article favours preparing an uncluttered property before capture, avoiding unnecessary personal details and using virtual furniture thoughtfully. It discusses removing temporary items and changing grass or paint where corresponding real changes are occurring. These examples are not a universal list of free editing inclusions.

Its treatment of permanent features requires care:

Source statement Implication for KB use
The retouching article generally rejects removing permanent fixtures such as power lines or neighbouring buildings. Preserve this restriction when explaining the article.
The same article describes idealised builder/architecture imagery with neighbours or distractions removed. The article itself distinguishes a different use case without defining a complete approval policy.
The operational FAQ says removal of permanent external structures can misrepresent a property and requires written acceptance of legal responsibility for the requested edit. Preserve the stated condition; do not convert it into blanket permission to make the change.

This is a source conflict and a context distinction that the KB cannot resolve. Obtain Urban Angles' review of the exact alteration and intended use; do not present either the older article or a written-liability condition as automatic authorisation. The blog's emphasis is faithful representation, while its sales-performance assertions remain promotional. Sources: Retouching article, Operational FAQ — Post-production / Retouching / Editing.

Relevant production capability

The related current service pathway is property and architectural photography. The following KB material describes that capability and its planning context. Historical dates, equipment, promotions and campaign examples in the archived article remain source-specific and are not presented as current offers.

Urban Angles offers property photography for real estate professionals and agencies, home builders, architects and developers. Its photography offering covers residential listings, commercial spaces, architectural work, locations and people. The service page describes support from shoot planning through to retouching and delivery, with the approach tailored to the project and the customer's branding.

The company positions photography as a way to attract attention and support property marketing. Claims about stronger engagement, competitive advantage or better campaign performance are company marketing claims; the source does not provide measured outcomes or establish a guarantee. Source: Photography service page.

The photography FAQ describes shoot planning around the property's strengths, prospective buyer profile and campaign strategy. Composition, lighting, lens selection and the sequence of images are factors in developing the final image set.

For customers with multiple listings or offices, Urban Angles says it works with defined shooting standards, colour profiles and editing processes to maintain visual consistency. It also says it can follow agency style guides, including composition preferences, colour treatment and delivery specifications. These details support the company's stated ability to serve both individual projects and customers who need repeatable presentation across several campaigns.

The page describes photographs as retouched and suitable for marketing delivery. It does not specify an image count, download method, resolution, file format, usage licence, revision allowance or standard inclusions. Those details should be confirmed for the particular booking.
