01 — Introduction

Salato is the only project of its kind currently rising on the Pompano Beach oceanfront — boutique in scale, uncompromising in execution, the result of a rare collaboration between Randall Stofft, Steven G., and KAST.

A building of this caliber doesn't need photography. It needs image-making — work that holds its own beside the architecture and the interiors, and that gives Douglas Elliman and IMI the fluency to sell the remaining residences and to define the building's identity for years beyond delivery.

What follows is a proposal for that work.

02 — Scope of Commission

A complete visual record of the residences, the amenity program, and the building.

I — The Residences

Interior photography of Unit 804 and Unit 801.

  • Full interior coverage of both Unit 804 and the Penthouse (Unit 801)
  • Living areas, kitchens, bedrooms, baths, and terraces
  • Detail captures of finishes, cabinetry, and custom details
II — Architectural Exteriors

The building, in context and elevation.

  • Ground-level and elevated architectural exteriors
  • Beachside and façade framing
III — The Amenity Program

Full coverage of all twenty-thousand-square-foot amenity spaces.

  • Ocean-view pool, spa, and wet deck
  • Poolside lounge, bar, and loggia
  • Fitness center, sauna, steam room, and treatment areas
  • Wine Room, event space, and private catering kitchen
  • Lobby and amenity deck detail frames

Twilight photography is included at no additional charge as part of the full commission.

03 — A Note on Aerials
Production Consideration

Pompano Beach Airpark sits less than two miles from 305 Briny, placing the site inside restricted airspace. Drone work is not permissible without an FAA waiver, which is rarely granted along this corridor. The plan compensates with elevated terrace and rooftop perspectives, beachside framing, and architectural lensing that gives the building its full scale and oceanfront posture — without aerial coverage.

04 — Deliverables

A complete asset library, ready for sales gallery, broker, and campaign deployment.
