After 40 days of what I lovingly call a “working vacation”, I’m back – coffee in one hand, photo gear in the other, and a brand-new look for bsilvia.com.
What was I doing all that time? Working on a deeply personal project called House. No grand photography expeditions, just a handful of snapshots, some cat videos (which, of course, found their rightful place on cats-magazine.com) – and a lot of paint, planning, and repairs.
But right before I went on that semi-break, I did squeeze in one last real estate shoot for a new client. And let me tell you, it was a tall one – literally. That’s when my trusty Manfrotto 269HDBU Super Stand came out to play.
If you’re shooting real estate photography in narrow city streets, this stand is a game-changer. You don’t need a drone (or the permission and paperwork that come with it). Just extend the stand, attach your camera, shoot from above – and boom. Fast, legal, and jaw-droppingly good results.
I even wrote about this clever piece of gear twice because I love it that much:

How My Manfrotto 269HDBU Became My Sky-High Sidekick
And speaking of flying high – my drone license needed a renewal. Turns out, if you don’t ask for permission to fly for a year, you’re just a person with a very expensive paperweight. Lesson learned. Maybe I’ll go shoot something fun next, just to keep the paperwork in motion!
And while I’m at it – June comes with a little gift.
If you’re a new client booking a session this month, you get 10% off any photo shoot – real estate, hotel, food, small business branding, you name it. Because nothing says summer like fresh visuals and a sweet discount.
I’m thrilled to be back, with new energy and more stories to tell. If you need high-quality real estate photography, hotel imagery, or branding visuals for your business, I’m just a message away. Let’s create something stunning.
