411. WGAN-TV | Part 2 of 2 | Giraffe PRO Camera and Platform for Residential RE Photographers
Save 10 Percent on 1st 12 Months with Voucher Code: WGAN  https://offer.giraffe360.com/wgan/ In this episode of WGAN-TV Live at 5, Dan Smigrod sits visits with Jānis Beinerts, Senior Product Designer at Giraffe360, to explore the newly launched Giraffe PRO Camera and the upgraded Giraffe360 platform designed for real estate photographers. The conversation opens with a deep dive into the complete suite of deliverables generated from a single property scan - property websites, AI-enhanced photos, 3D virtual tours, floor plans, and multiple video styles, and more - all produced automatically through the platform’s processing pipeline. Jānis explains how the Giraffe PRO Camera was engineered not just as a piece of hardware but as part of a larger ecosystem where hardware, software, and automation converge. He describes how the Giraffe PRO Camera and platform together enable photographers to deliver a multichannel marketing bundle that increases listing engagement, boosts time-on-page, and generates more leads for agents. The discussion highlights Giraffe360’s data-supported claim that properties captured with the system sell up to seven days faster, with the new Giraffe PRO Camera expected to widen this advantage. Dan and Jānis walk through a real example of a single property website generated automatically by the platform. Jānis explains how assets such as HDR photos, floor plans, and property metadata are captured, processed, and surfaced to buyers in a clean, structured layout. Some data is pulled automatically - such as location and measured area - while other fields can be edited directly by the photographer or agent to fine-tune the listing. The episode also tees up one of the most compelling features: Giraffe360’s ability to produce multiple styles of marketing videos without shooting any video at all, thanks to advanced AI reconstruction and creative automation. This expands what real estate photographers can offer without increasing onsite capture time. Throughout the episode, Dan asks pointed questions that help real estate photographers understand not just the what but also the why: why multichannel marketing matters, why automation is essential for scaling, and why combining hardware, software, and AI is redefining real estate media production.

407-WGAN-TV | Edit, Deliver and Get Paid through Fotello: Enhanced Delivery and Payment Link with White Label Option
www.WGAN.info/fotello In this episode of WGAN-TV, Dan Smigrod welcomes back Fotello Co-Founder Harman Walia to showcase Fotello’s newest enhancements that simplify how real estate media professionals edit, deliver, and get paid for their work. Harman explains how Fotello’s mission remains focused on helping photographers deliver their best work while saving money — a guiding principle for every product decision the company makes. Key Highlights 1. Twilight Photo Editing Harman introduces the upgraded Twilight AI feature, which allows creators to convert daytime images into natural, realistic twilight scenes in just one click. The AI maintains architectural accuracy — nothing inside or outside the property is altered — ensuring ethical photo representation for real estate listings. 2. Unified Delivery Platform Fotello now enables users to deliver all digital assets—photos, videos, 3D tours, and floor plans—through one link. Real estate agents can preview, download, and even request revisions directly from the portal, reducing back-and-forth communication. 3. White-Label Sub-Domain For professionals seeking a fully branded experience, Fotello offers a white-label sub-domain option that removes all Fotello branding from delivery pages and emails. This feature allows photographers to present the portal as their own—ideal for brand consistency and client trust. 4. Integrated Payments The newly launched Fotello Payments integrates seamlessly with Stripe, allowing photographers to collect payments directly without additional Fotello transaction fees. Funds are deposited daily, and all payout data can be viewed and exported from a single dashboard. 5. Instant and Same-Day Delivery Harman shares how some users have installed Starlink internet in their vehicles to enable instant delivery of photos right after shoots. This capability allows creators to offer same-day or even immediate turnaround—either as a premium service or as a competitive differentiator. 6. Onboarding and Support Fotello has streamlined its onboarding to remove previous friction points. New users can sign up directly via WGAN’s affiliate link for 25 free listings, with optional one-on-one support for setup, domain configuration, and client migration. Learn more: www.WGAN.info/fotello Special Offer for WGAN Community Real estate photographers and media pros who sign up through the WGAN affiliate link receive up to 25 listings free as part of their Fotello Essential membership—equivalent to editing up to 1,500 photos at no cost.
