Modern Las Vegas kitchen photographed by Mike Madsen

About

You're hiring me. Not a middleman.

Most real estate photo companies are middlemen who outsource your listing to whoever's closest. Virtual Tours Las Vegas is one photographer, Mike Madsen, and I shoot, edit and deliver every property myself.

The story

From bank-owned listings to building VTLV.

I've been in real estate since 2006 — first as a licensed agent, then as the marketing lead overseeing the sale of bank-owned properties through the recession. That work earned me Sales & Marketing recognition from the Wall Street Journal and Realtor.com, and it's where I learned what actually moves a listing.

When the bank-owned market wound down, I launched Virtual Tours Las Vegas in 2010. I've shot thousands of properties, from one-bedroom condos to mansions with indoor basketball gyms. Along the way, I was the photographer for the Zillow Offers program in Las Vegas (that program ended in 2021), and I provided Matterport services for builders like Lennar Homes.

Once, I shot HDR photos and 360s for eight houses in a single day. I've also spent two straight days documenting a single mansion. Every property gets the same standard: straight walls, real colors, no blown-out windows.

I shoot on a mirrorless DSLR, hold a Part 107 drone license, and am a Google Street View Trusted photographer. I still hold my real estate license too, and started the business with my wife Michelle Sproul, a licensed Realtor. I understand listings because I've been on that side of the desk.

The approach

"I get behind my mirrorless DSLR and let the camera tell me what it wants to see."

My philosophy is simple: everything starts with the photos. A great 3D tour, social reel, or floor plan only matters if the underlying imagery is right. I treat every shoot like a 24/7 open house, because that's what it is to the buyer who clicks through at midnight.

One photographer, one standard

No rotating cast of subcontractors. I capture and deliver every shoot myself: the same eye, the same edit, the same accountability, every time.

Real-estate native

A licensed agent who's marketed and sold real estate. I understand MLS workflow, listing strategy and what actually makes a buyer click, because I've done it myself.

Equipment & craft

Mirrorless DSLR capture, professional HDR processing, Matterport 3D scanning, FAA-certified aerial work. I keep refining the craft, the same approach I picked up studying photography fundamentals years ago.

Fast & reliable

24–48 hour standard delivery, MLS-ready formats, embed codes included. Rush next-morning delivery when a listing needs to go live fast.
