Love your videos! Do you have details on the flash preset? I think many would be happy to pay for your presets if you prefer that. You have done a lot of work and we appreciate it.

Thank you so much! I have watched many real estate photography videos and yours are the closest to the style to what I would like to produce. I have set your LR Enfuse Preset thanks to @dataventurer9998; however, have you detailed your flash preset? I think many would be happy to purchase your presets too!

Good job, but too much work

Will is that a 7" reflector housing? Just ordered one for my AD600. Yours looks larger than 7 and I could only find the plastic snap on diffuser plate in 7". If you could confirm that would be great thanks!

How about how to start in the slow season.

Enfuse is great, but I still deal with blacks clipping. Darkest parts of image are clipped as whole black with no way to restore. Any ideas how to avoid this ?

I've been looking at a variety of modifiers lately as I've been bouncing either speedlights or an XPLOR600 off of the ceiling. What impact of shooting through the orb into the room have on creating shadows from things like lamp shades, ceiling fans etc? Thanks for this video!

Hey Will, Which AF-area mode are you using for RE, I shoot on a Z6iii and I've had some issues with at least 2-3 photos not coming into focus through a whole house shoot. I was previously shooting on Auto-area AF. Is that what you're using? I was looking through the options and I noticed Wide Area AF (L). Would that work better?

Can you explain your process/reasons for your work from 7:43? Thanks in advance, been enjoying all your videos.

Friend, how much could a session like this + a video cost? I am a real estate agent

Thank you for this, Will. It is detailed and simple, without talking down to us. You make a very good teacher.

Thanks brother for the hard mask tip and the further ambient 50% layer explanation.

Thanks for demonstrating flambient in dark basement. Was this lit with the ad400 and Godox lantern? I’m very interested in getting the z8. Have you been getting sync at 1/200 or is 1/160 more consistent? I’m borrowing the middle sized lantern to try with my ad600 because I like your results from your video on it. Thanks again!

The soft shadows of the flash do look good. But having that many details in the windows doesn't look natural. That's not how windows look when you're standing in a room, and there's too much emphasis on the window details that take away from the room. They're too dark and would benefit from being slightly blown out even for a more natural look (while preserving enough detail to see what's outside). And unless it's a window view of a great-looking landscape or garden that adds a clear value to the property, why would you want such an unnatural-looking precise detail of what looks like the wall of the house next to it? For real estate, shooting brackets and a custom Photomatix profile give me more natural-looking results and less hassle on location and in post.

If you got windows far away, it is hard to use darken mode because there is not enough light. Therefore, move closer and take a flash of the window. Then you could darken mode blend the far windows in post.

Take advantage of U1, U2 and U3. U1 could be used to bracket (5 exposures or whatever exposures you need). U2 could be set as your Flash, set the K value. U3 same as U2 with 1/200 for those window pulls.

If you can move the chair, then move it back.

I bought this and it says I need to Insall Enfuse Application on Configuration page but when I click it, it says it can't connect to server. Has this happened to anyone else?

do you mind sharing what flash and orb you are using?

Big Productivity Boost thanks for the walktrough. Looking forward to the color cast correction video, everyone approaches this problem differently. Just one usability suggestion. Your super high aspect monitor screen captures come out pretty compressed vertically in your photoshop / LR screens when viewed on a (what i think is a more normal) 16:9 aspect ratio. Watch one of your youtubes on a normal laptop or ipad to see what i mean.

thanks Will, another excellent and useful video. you said yourself in this vid that "there's no right or wrong way" to do these things but it's highly educational for us less experienced RE photogs to study what different more experienced guys had developed over time using trial and error and then try to understand the rationale. One thing your action does which is different than what i've been doing is stacking ambient copy normal mode 50% opacity<<ambient luminosity mode 100% opacity<<flash layer. I started off of Nathan Cools which is just ambient luminosity mode 50% opacity<<flash layer. I know you have a good reason for what you're doing but I didn't really grasp it fully in this video, can you elaborate a bit? PS I think you should come out with some t-shirts / merch: Flambient: These are the shadows I choose to fight!!

Thanks for making this video. Super helpful as I look into upgrading my gear from a SB800 Speedlight! Is the x-nano now called X3 or X3-N? I searched x-nano on Amazon and also B&H and only the X-3 comes up?

I get the trigger that talks to the camera and strobe but what are you using to fire the camera / strobe remotely?

THIS IS REALLY GREAT - THANKS! This will solve so many problems! Like some others, until now I did not know this diffuser existed. For a similar - but NOT as good - outcome, I've been using a big ridgid (not very portable) 12" plastic sphere for the ad600 and a couple of fotodiox "ostritch egg" diffusers (for regular flashes). Those are okay, but your image results looks so much better.

i tried the lantern today - although I chose to use a side to side (more like diagonal) technique with the top town tilted approach and 45-degrees on larger space -I have to say that I really liked it and my editing was easier - I found that I had to do much less color cast correction and things moved much quicker in post. Very pleasing look over all. I used the two sided room pops because I like the contrast a bit more that way. That said - I used a quick over camera pop for a darken color repair layer, which came in very handy and was so quick on site too. I used the AD300 with an Aperture lantern, which is about 25" and fits perfectly through doorways - any bigger and it would not work. Thanks for sharing....

Great review and comparison, I’ve been using Godox AD600’s and Photoflex shoot-through umbrellas for years. To me that’s the best setup for me and I can cover anything from a small condo to a large luxury home.

Thank you, Will. I was looking at getting the AD200 but now I'm going for the AD400 thanks to this video. Awesome!

Hi Will, thanks for the video, can you tell me where to get the soft materiel cover for the Godox? Thank you.

how do i use time remapping and warp stabilizer on the same clip, i applied warp stabilizer on the video layer and precomposed it then enabled time remapping and it still didnt work

To make movements smooth, do you use slow motion?

Thank you so much! Super helpful and I agree that some projects might call for an in-house edit, now it's just a matter of experimenting more! Thanks again.

Since I've been photographing real estate, I've been using ball heads from Benro. But now i use their 3W head and it has a much faster and precise handling.

Hi, could you leave link for your L-Bracket brand you using. Thanks

Hi there, thanks for recommending, is this compatible with Manfrotto tripods

I rather just use a ball head and get it good enough. Quick fix in post to make in perfect. I have one tripod from this company but the quality is not very good. I just keep it in my car as a backup 😊

Thanks for the comparison. Actual light spread examples would be useful. Personally i think it hurts your credibility a bit when you spent a fair amount of energy talking down something which you admitted you have not tried. Magbounce on an AD200 is a viable alternative, total cost is $80. Flexible, portable, convenient , durable.

YASS!! Finally it’s broken down for real estate! 🙌🏻

Hey will...how about a video on your 14mm cinema lens and why you've gone that direction?

Hey Will, have you had experience with clients who see the final images differently as you because they have a different RGB display from their devices? Off color, too washed look vs too dark look? Any suggestions on how to mitigate that?

I also watch other gurus and use their methods. But now i use yours for my next clients :) Its so much faster and thats why this method should be fine with most of the jobs! But for window pull ill use another flashpop with more power + shorter exposure time. This should help to avoid dark halos around windows with the darken layer setting.

Thanks so much, very useful info. I have submitted a trial with Ursin Photo and have mentioned you in the referral.

Will. will this work in LR CC? (not classic)

6:20 nice solution for better organizing! Too bad, Canon doesnt provide this feature in the custom setting :/

7:55 great idea!! I always wondered how I solved the problem. Thank you :)

Rokinon 45mm 1.8 on a Sony. Love the perspective of that focal length.

Love your wok.

I almost never use AF for Real estate video. One agency that sends a lot of work likes to have 1 unbroken walkthrough with no cuts so I leave AF off to do theirs but i'm getting other agencies that like the more dynamic videos with lots of B roll type shots and I just started shooting S-log to deal with the editing

Interested in learning more about your switch to the Z6iii when you have a Z8? Using one for video and one for stills? Only using the Z6iii? What did you do with your Z6ii?

Such a big help! Thanks!!
