Great video! I like the discussion format. And the reminder that even though at the start your pics may not be what they will be...you start and learn.
This was awesome! Pretty crazy how all this stuff happened just over the course of a few years. Can't wait for the next vid! What should we talk about next??

Yeah! Why not? If it's good marketing material, it's good marketing material :) Thats the value to realtors. (+ if working with you is a good experience for them and their clients) There's a lot of realtors, so if someone is bad to you, you can always move on and find nicer people to work with. The main thing you need to get going is to get some solid sample work so you can use that to start building up clients. I would actually recommend reaching out to some model home sales reps in your area if there are any, instead of starting with realtors. Let them know what you're trying to do (get into the industry, build your portfolio, get connected to realtors etc) Then see if they would be ok with letting you shoot some photos at the model house (maybe just ask for like 30 min to shoot the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom + some cool details) They are usually open to be public already, and compared to trying to work with a realtor first (whose sales, livelihood, client reputation, etc are on the line at listing appointments) Model houses are super nice, so that way your portfolio will be nicer to start for a website because you will get those high end looking interiors (more fun to shoot anyways!) instead of starting out with lower end realtors who might be more willing + looking for free photos. But if you're getting into the industry, the main things to focus on are getting good, and getting connected with as many people in the industry (realtors, brokers, mortgage reps, home insurance companies, inspection companies, etc) I just know model house sales reps don't mind free marketing stuff for IG or FB posts so if that is possible it could be a lot better for you as far as portfolio images AND getting connected to realtors they know that they might be able to refer you to if your work and vibe is good :) Also if there are no new communities near you, try shooting for anybody you know who has a cool house or room or anything. You don't need that many portfolio images for this type of work - mostly proof of concept.
I am looking to get into real estate photography and in the process of obtaining some of the equipment needed. I am looking to get a new laptop for the editing process since my current one is 8 years old. What do you recommend for someone on a budget of around $1200 for a computer that uses the windows platform. I currently have all the Adobe editing gear but it locks up my computer constantly. Thanks in advance and really appreciate your videos, they are very helpful.
Hey !! Excited for you. To be honest, I haven't used PC's in a long time so I'm not the best person to ask. I've seen some good reviews on Dell XPS and Razer on RUclips though. The main things to keep in mind for computer specs are the graphics card, processor power (7 Core+) and RAM (16gb+) and you should be good to go. Check these out maybe ? www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/sr/laptops/xps-laptops/intel-core-i7?appliedRefinements=6084,18402,27546 You might even be able to find a used one through this site swappa.com/laptops Hope that helps!
These videos are super helpful!! For a next video, I’d love some tips or guides for shooting twilight exteriors. I want to offer them but don’t want to mess up haha Thanks for taking the time to do these. They’re great! Cheers!
Great topic!! My best tip right off the bat is to get out and do some practice ones! Try shooting from about 15 min before the "sun set" (based on weather app) until about 15 min after the "sun set" - All lights on for the house - Interior and exterior with windows all open similarly, and you'll see what time frame works best (usually about 5 min after the "sun set" - But depends on the house - some have more light on the front at sunset and some have more on the back - and sometimes you want to wait until later so a pool glows more or shows off certain features :) For settings, I like to use F8, ISO 400, Shutter to set exposure, and bracket 3 shots -3 0 +3 in RAW and you should be set to get started!
All depends on what does what you need! Definitely re-considering a lot of things with all the great cameras that have come out this year, though! What kind of projects do you do?
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo i'm a product photography originally, but i love to get into interior and Hotel photography also, my main gear is in studio in my home on ac power, i think i need new run and gun setup for that
@@diogomartinez7991 Ah yeah! That's awesome! It depends on what size files you need if your clients would need them for large scale use, but I've been really happy with my EOS R this last year w/ the 16-35 L series lens. You could go with most full frame cameras though! Maybe go with one that works with your lenses you already have so you could get the most out of your investment? For flashes, I have had a great experience using Flashpoint wireless system - not crazy expensive like some, and they have great options for different power output, sync speeds, etc. + great rechargeable battery life! All that gear is linked in this video and if you want to see it in action for a simple scenario! ruclips.net/video/HPdN7S5qzGk/видео.html and I have a Whats In My Camera Bag video too, if you want to see / hear even more! Hope that helps :) Priority is having a tripod, wide lens, and off camera flash though!
@mikedahmm5482 oh! Premiere Pro or Final Cut for editing, and deliver via google drive link or some people host on RUclips so they can just link it quickly to mls
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo great! Would you actually book it like normal for a day ( pay) to shoot or would you message the host and tell them they can have a link to the tour if they’ll let your shoot there for free?
@@gbritto98 probably more likely for someone to hire you or pay for photos, rather than shooting for free just because of the hassle of cleaning fees, vacancies and all of that. So might be best to start out just renting normally
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo do you think they would still hire me if I don’t have a portfolio? I saw your response to another comment that said reach out to model homes rather than agents but unfortunately a lot of the model home companies here have matterport 3D tours and also photos. I’m just trying to find a handful of places to shoot to build my portfolio because I actually start approaching people to pay
Great work brother, glad to see you doing well. Happy thanksgiving. Side note, I love my R6. Taylor, you mentioned a few months back that you left Sony for canon, what was the deciding factor? Reason I ask, i been reading a lot about Sony and I kind of wish I went with Sony.
Thanks man! You too. At the time with the A7iii, I wasn't super happy with the skin tones and color grading the low bitrate sony log footage. The new Sony color science + 10 bit look a lot better though! What's changing your mind?
Who helps you keep up-to-date with technology related to real estate photography Andrew and Andrei? Do you purchase the latest and greatest technology stuff to business relevant each year?
Im probably going to get frowned upon but, how bad is it to show up to shoot a house and you whip out your S20 Plus or iPhone and start taking pictures. Ive watched several videos on phone vs DSLR and the phones are looking really good.
Next topics?? Hope you guys are having a great Thanksgiving weekend!

What a deal
A question: if you offer a free shoot (to build your folio), will realtors who take the offer perceive you as worth paying for later on?

Two of the best photographers ever!!! Y’all are a great inspiration! Keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Great content guys , for a new guy starting out ( now) , what equipment would suggest for real estate ? ( camera / lens / tripod / etc ?
Thanks! For photo or video or both? Totally depends!
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo hybrid
16-35 is definitely the best for that work

Great channel Keep it Coming
Thanks!! Glad to help. Keep in touch if you need any help on specifics
Great information guys!
Thanks!! We need to do another chat video. What would you want to see ?
How would you setup a contract or documents for the clients to sign? Is there templates I can download?
Andrei and Andrew, how did you overcome your photography taking fears?
What format do you use to do your videos for real estate agents
Depends on what they’re planning on using it for. Horizontal mostly or Vertical if it’s needed primarily
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo
Well actually I meant
Program do you use to process your videos and present them to your clients

which lens you guys like better 14mm or 16mm ?
I’ve never been unhappy with my 16-35. But wider would be fun for video or for some smaller spaces for sure !
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo I use 14 photo and for video, but the video wobbles on my Gimball DJI lol
13:44 something tells me the FAA wouldn’t like what you just said. Or maybe you have bvlos clearance
haha truth! safety first

I’d think in the end it only matters how good/bad your photos/videos are turning out. But also 🤷♂️ lol depends on the agent.
Never shoot free. Ever. Sets a precedent and cheapens the industry. Don't do it.
this is cringy
Thanks for checking it out
Do you ever ask the realtor to tag you on IG for more business exposure?
Nope but it’s pretty common that they will! Another strategy is you could post and add them as a collaborator and it shows up on their feed too.
