ELICEA ANDREWS PHOTOGRAPHY

Real Estate Photo Retouching and Virtual Staging in Vancouver, BC

Alongside my work as a Vancouver Wedding, event and portrait photographer, I also have extensive experience in high-end real estate photo editing and virtual staging from my time at ISHOT in Vancouver, BC. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to transform images so that properties look their best online.

My experience includes:

  • Virtual Staging: digitally furnishing empty rooms to help buyers visualize the space.
  • Staging Replacement: removing existing furniture or décor and replacing it with updated, modern staging.
  • High-End Retouching: blending multiple flash layers using masks and blending modes for perfectly lit interiors.
  • Twilight Editing: enhancing twilight photos while keeping the look natural and inviting.

While my main focus is wedding, portrait, and event photography in Vancouver, this editing background has shaped the way I approach all of my work. The same attention to detail, storytelling, and technical precision that goes into staging and retouching also guides the way I photograph people and events.
