Wait, you provide invaluable content on a regular basis FOR FREE, and people complain about mentioning your books?! Wow. That's insane. Please ignore them
Amen to that.
Hey Nathan, enjoying your work, ordered the E book. Heard you mention the Ohio Army National Guard! I was in the 107th ACR in Columbus 87-94!
As usual, a very interesting video Nathan. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience !
Excellent, thank you for the breakdown, crazy how each minute is so critical.
I'm one of those many who follow and really appreciate the time you take to make these videos and help all of us get up the learning curve faster. I particularly like this one as I have reached the point of shooting homes where my skill gets me jobs and as more come, I need to keep re-evaluating how I'm doing everything from the shoot to the post-processing. This video really brings home how it all fits together to make it as profitable as possible. Thanks!
Your video came at the right moment for me. Thanks a lot Nathan!
Thank you Nathan, I needed this pep talk. Two minutes seems pretty fast to me but I have progressed both in speed but more importantly in quality. I’m in Lewiston Idaho and because of what I’ve learned primarily from you and your books I have a successful side gig going. I just need to pick up my speed and keep the quality. BTW, I can’t imagine sending out my images for editing, losing that control and also the satisfaction of seeing each image come together would simply be a ‘no go’ for me.
Get the books folks, they are absolutely worth every penny.
Thinking of hiring some time for a one on one with some in depth questions…
Thanks again.
Ive learned alot from this channel since my real estate work increased. Thank you very much!
Consitently valuable information. I've been shooting houses for six years and have applied a lot of the knowledge and experience you share. Thanks for continuing to put out great content.
Thank you so much, this is a great video and very generous of you. Best wishes!
As always, very helpful. Thank you!
Great advice. I’ll work on trying to keep the 2 minute rule. I’ve always spent my time on the money shots first, the did what I call drive by shoots on the low priority rooms.
I’ll see how it goes shooting the low priority first then the important rooms last👍
I am no professional, not in your business, but so very interesting. I like the way you teach, well done.
Amazing info!
Thank you Nathan
Thanks for staying relevant Nathan! 🙏🏼
Very useful video, thanks a lot Nathan. To be honeset I'm much slower in my shooting and mostly editing, but practice again and again is really the only way to improve our speed! What is key to me is to be able to standardize some shooting and editing processing, isn't it Nathan? Thanks againg for your videos and valuable coaching! Cheers from Italy!!! Stefano
Thanks soo much for your videos...they are helping a lot...i needed to hear about this 2 minute rule 😁
Great video again Nathan! Thank you, and thank you for your service by the way. Ugh, speed is my worst enemy when it comes to myself doing real estate photography. I’m so uptight about quality that I’ll get like 20 exposures (10 ambient and 10 flash shots) so that way I’m pretty much guaranteed to have a pair of great shots that will blend together nicely. Plus it more often than not takes me a few minutes just to figure out the perfect lighting spots with the flash to get a flash shot I’m happy with. My aunt and uncle let me use their house to get some shots for my portfolio. I’m not even joking, it’s a 12,000 square foot house. It took me like 2 days to shoot lmao. Moving equipment around a house like that takes so long and is NOT fun lol. But most of the pictures turned out pretty great. I told myself if I can shoot a house like this, and do a decent job, I might be almost ready to start doing this for a living lol.
Thank you so much for the advice.
great video and great topic.
Great knowledge, thank you
Home run video, Nathan! It's a valuable goal to practice practice practice and become more efficient and profitable. Appreciate your positive and encouraging attitude.
Thank you!
Thank you Nathan, means a lot 🙂
This video was super helpful. You explain things very well. Perusing your channel and website now. :)
Raise your quality, raise your gain. So true. I just started, and people are returning to me for business and I’m charging $195 for a 2000 sq ft or smaller. Usually shoots are $250+ just for photos.
I believe your videos are the best for this category. I am buying all your books. I really hope you don't worry too much about people complaining. I personally appreciate all your content and was glad to find out you offer your knowledge in hardcopy. Sometimes I find it easier to learn from a book. Thanks so much for your time and effort, it has been invaluable to me.
Thank you so much! So glad I've been able to help.
Big Shout to you Nathan!!! Thanks for all these great videos :) I am getting into Real Estate Photography for my office and a few more realtors (for now) and your videos are really helping me a lot... Could you mention your computer equipment you use? I have a decent PC but would like to get a couple of matching monitors... Thanks again....
I can't believe someone complained that you promoted your book in one of your (excellent) FREE tutorials. Pay them no attention Nathen. I for one enjoy your videos and gain much from them (and your books as well). Keep doing what you do and shine on my friend.
Thanks Carey!
Perfect Sir

Hmm, first I thought 2 min is hella short but thinking of my workflow and using a timer I could definitely take more time per photo, double checking those little annoyances like chords, crooked lampshades etc.
Awesome vid thanks!
thanks
Youre so cool Nathan
Promote away, Nathan. You give us so much!
Appreciate an engineer covering these topics as you're meticulous and cover the questions just as I'm thinking of them. That's rare. Only too happy to pay it back by buying the books. Plus you don't break my three biggest hates on RUclips: mucking around for ages with intros and small talk, asking new users for the subscribe or like before they've actually watched anything, and those annoying angled shots not looking at the viewer when talking to them.
Thank you Simon!
Thank you Nathan for all the wonderful knowledge you share on your videos, I have a Canon 5Dii and a Tokina 16-28 F2.8, I would like to purchase two e-books Virtual tour photography for real estate and Photography for real estate interiors to begin with.
Hi Nathan, do you have tips for shooting Short-term rental real estate?
Great information as usual Nathan. I have been shooting real estate photography for over 5 years thanks to your tutorials getting me started so thanks! My biggest difficulty shortening my time per job is the photo editing stage. I've improved my speed over the years but can't even get close to the one hour site time equals one hour photo editing time even using shortcuts like the 50 / 50 technique on some of the frames. How do I get more efficient than that? Any more tips?
Thanks! I'd have to see what you're doing since there could be some simple things you are doing that are taking up your time. You might consider having a private session with me so I can walk through this with you. You can email me for more info on my private coaching at Nathan@NathanCoolPhoto.com
@@NathanCoolPhoto Hi Nathan. I appreciate the offer! I have gone back through your tutorials to review and am implementing some tips and can see where I need improvement! I also need to clean up my desktop to speed things up as the processing from Lightroom to Photoshop is lagging. I will get back to you if I need some more help. Thanks again!
Great video, great series, Nathan! I have a question, maybe this would be a good video for your channel, my question is: What is the best way to compile a portfolio of real estate work to build clients? I am a professional wedding/event videographer/photographer looking to transition into the real estate markets, but I'm not sure how to approach realtors without a website portfolio. Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thanks!
Thanks! I'd suggest downloading my ebook on business techniques for real estate photography, which covers those topics...and more. Here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/3lImvKo
@@NathanCoolPhoto Thanks Nathan, just got the Kindle book, I appreciate you responding, and let me say what a great channel you've built. Just stunning content!
Thank you!
You SHOULD promote your books. They’re industry bibles. Who else is going into such detail? It’s important to be mindful of time, esp. in editing…I put in all-nighters on my first jobs!
I try to average 10-12 SLR shots, maybe 6 drone shots and a floor plan at about 1hr-1hr15. Add travel, editing, liasing.. less than 4hrs.
Hectic.
Hey Nathan. What do you recommend for how to figure out what to charge for travel time/distance? Do you do mileage or time or a flat rate? Thanks!
Hey Bryan, stuff like that I talk about in my business techniques book, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/399vMIn
why i need to use lightroom in real estate photos editing if i will use photoshop?
That's some of the basics that I cover in my interiors book, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/3W1CYZI
Nathan, I believe you are a Nikon shooter. Am I right? Should Active D-Lighting be turned off? My understanding of it is that the camera does some editing to your images.
Nikon, Canon, Sony, they all have something similar, it's a lighting optimizer, which is proprietary in RAW files and utilized differently in post processing and when shooting. I discuss in detail how these work and how to utilize them in my Mastering Color ebook, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/3pAGgF4
@@NathanCoolPhoto Dang! I bought that ebook and read it all. I guess I was dozing off when you discussed that. :) I’ll go back and search for it…thanks! Sorry.
No problem. In the chapter "Core of Color" there is a section "Camera Profiles and Optimizers". That will get you started, and it will reference other sections in the book, which in-turn refer back to it.
@@NathanCoolPhoto Thanks, Nathan. I read up on it this morning and got the info I needed.
Do you hit 3 jobs a day on average Nathan? asking out of curiosity, not that it means anything to me where I am here in Canada.
Depends on the size, add-ons, etc. There is no exact number that can define how many "jobs" you do in a day; instead, it's how much you can make in a week/month/year that's more important. Some jobs are so large that it can take multiple days, whereas others are small that many can be done in a day. It's best to figure out viability and scheduling to make this fit, which is something I show in amzn.to/3hWqeVQ
