# Track Record

Urban Angles has worked in one industry since 2001. This is the record behind that, and how to obtain the credentials and documentation that go with it.

## The numbers

- **25 years** — co-founded in 2001, in property marketing the whole time
- **180,000+ properties** photographed
- **$50 billion+** in property sales supported
- **~10,000 shoots a year**, across VIC, NSW and QLD
- **60–70 field photographers and creators** working across Australia, supported by 17 full-time Australian staff
- **Four on-the-ground markets** — Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast and Adelaide — plus the rest of Australia on request

Volume is the figure that most distinguishes the operating model. Around ten thousand shoots a year is what forces published turnaround tiers, a dedicated QC function and a purpose-built ordering portal — a studio doing a few hundred jobs a year has no need for any of them.

## Milestones

| Year | Milestone |
| --- | --- |
| 2001 | Founded in Melbourne, focused on professional property photography |
| 2006 | Expanded beyond photography into video, 3D visualisation and project marketing |
| 2018 | Field operations extended beyond Victoria into Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast |
| 2018 | Consolidated to operate under the single Urban Angles brand |
| 2026 | 25 years in property marketing |

## Award-winning homes

Homes photographed by Urban Angles have gone on to win **HIA Display Home of the Year** across multiple categories.

The distinction matters: the award belongs to the builder and the home. Urban Angles was the marketing photographer on those projects, not the entrant. What it demonstrates is the calibre of work the studio is trusted with — display homes entered into national judging are the ones builders are least willing to have photographed badly.

Urban Angles does not claim industry awards of its own.

## Why the specialisation matters

Urban Angles has never diversified out of property. Every product exists because an agent, builder, developer, agency or architect asked for it, and the operating model was built around how property campaigns actually run rather than adapted from general commercial photography.

Three parts of that model are consequences of the specialisation rather than marketing positions:

- **Published turnaround tiers** rather than per-job quotes, so a campaign can be planned backwards from its go-live date. See [Standard vs Express Turnaround](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/packages-pricing/standard-vs-express-turnaround/).
- **[In-house post-production](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/studio-post-production/image-retouching/)** rather than outsourced retouching, which is what makes next-business-day standard delivery possible and holds one quality bar across markets.
- **A proprietary ordering portal** — [DREAM](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/how-we-work/dream-client-portal/) — built for the way agents order, proof and collect assets, rather than an email-and-spreadsheet workflow.

## Continuity

The business is still led by co-founder and managing director Jules Tahan, with a leadership team covering finance, field operations, account management and marketing. Longevity in a supplier matters mainly for one practical reason: the assets from a campaign run years ago are still retrievable, and the people who set the standard are still setting it. See [Our Team & Values](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/trust-compliance/our-team-values/).

## Credentials

Urban Angles is a member of the **Housing Industry Association** — see [Industry Standing](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/trust-compliance/industry-memberships/).

Supplier documentation — insurance certificates, compliance paperwork, ABN details — is supplied directly on request rather than published here, so what you receive is current rather than a snapshot that has aged on a web page. Ask for exactly the documentation your process requires and it will be issued against your submission date. Related credential detail sits on [Insurance](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/trust-compliance/insurance/) and [CASA Drone Accreditation](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/trust-compliance/casa-drone-accreditation/).
