Thank you for all interesting and awesome stuff you give to us.Your videos, and generally your work are amazing!!!Have you a nice year!!!Keep going...👋👋👋
Thanks for the video. I noticed you're shooting at 400 ISO and was wondering why you don't turn it down to 100 for higher quality since you can compensate with a slower shutter speed using the tripod?
As always, your videos are great. Question though- How would you photoshop the camera out of the mirror? I feel like theres a lot of detail in the frame that would make it hard to use the usual removal tools.
shoot the reflection. what i meant is turn 180 degrees. literally shoo whatever behind. in post, flip it horizontally and paste it in the mirror. skew transform to fit in the mirror.
Great video! I know you switch between brackets and flash. What makes you decide which method to use. I know in one video you said flambient is the best approach. Just wondering why you wouldn’t use that method all the time. Many thanks for the video’s 👍
I usually break the flash out on higher end/higher paying shoots. Yes, I think it can yield the best results potentially but it’s not always the best approach necessarily. On lower end/ Lower budget shoots I thing HDR is the best approach for speed and amount of time I’m willing to invest for the money I’m being paid for my time. So to answer your question, it takes longer and is more involved so I don’t always do it. I like being well versed on different methods and so I can utilize them wherever I see fit. You could certainly just pick whatever method you like best and stick with it. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
Very helpful. My favorite part is when I begin to think I'm looking through my a7rIII and just when looking to the left and getting the door way straight, I lock it down and you take the shot
How do you edit these images after first processing in LR/Enfuse. They look so uninformed nice and bright, yet not flashy. Would look a detailed tutorial on youR post processing workflow to achieve this look. Thanks!
Hey Larry! I'm actually not Enfusing these. I just released a video on my editing process actually that you can view here: ruclips.net/video/co2UwCdoz5k/видео.html
Amazing video, like always I have learned a ton from you I wish you the best on RUclips! Anyway you can do a video of a shoot and maybe the same or next video show you editing the photos of the house you shot?
Great video. I've learned a lot from watching your tutorials. My wife is a realtor and I'm an amateur photographer. She wants me to do more of her shoots and with a drone as well. Do you shoot in Manual mode or Aperture? I've subscribed to your channel. Good luck with everything.
Thanks Derrick! I'm shooting in Aperture Priority. I go into all the settings I use in this video: ruclips.net/video/oQ8yomPmOos/видео.html&lc=Ugxq1cBlfXDgcdu3Mvl4AaABAg
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography thanks so much for the response. I will definitely watch the video. Have a great weekend and keep those fantastic videos coming.
100% profesional. Joy to watch Mike. Gather these were all bracketted shots? Lighting is masterful baby! RESPECT. Btw I just purchased the new Tokina 11-20mm f2.8 - its incredible value at $600.
Inside Real Estate Photography Amazing amazing🙌👏🏼! These are by far the most useful and informative videos for RE for beginners📸! I am watching everything you post, from photo tips to shooting and editing process... It has helped me tremendously to actually understand and be able to shoot RE from 0 knowledge! What helps me also is the fact that I shoot on a Sony6400 and am following all your tips and tricks for the camera setup. LOL I even bought the same Remote Control you use. Please keep them coming! Especially these kind of videos are super helpful, as it really makes me understand exactly what you are doing and how are you composing the shots on site. I am not from the USA, I live in Europe and here the houses have different styles and are a lot smaller. There's no master bedrooms or master bathrooms. Kitchens ,most of the time don't have these beautiful marble islands etc. Would it be possible whenever you get the chance to shoot just a simple apartment as well? Thanks again for your amazing work and just know that you have a real impact for someone like me, somewhere across the world.🙌😌
Thanks! So glad the videos have been helpful for you! I can definitely do a video on a smaller shoot sometime. I use the same techniques though no matter what the home size is so all of this information is transferable.
Thank you! I love this kind of video. I do a lot of real estate photography and I always learn something from seeing how someone else would do the shot. Did you use any flash or are all of these shots ambient light? Any window pulls, and if so, how? I will pay more attention to my tripod level and rely less on Lightroom to fix those verticals and horizontals!
Just adding comment to help the channel. Great stuff...appreciate the help. Maybe change your camera view to show all settings and let us know which lens you're using, if you switch during a shoot, and why.
If I have no experience with photography and just recently got interested what's the barrier to entry for me to do real estate photography. Meet Kevin proposed 3D home scanning as a business idea, so I looked into it and I found your Channel. I think it makes sense to do a package, though these things are much more complex, I also always had an interest with drones. Do you think if I buy the equipment you use and watch all your videos with some practice at home that's enough?
I'm thinking, maybe for wholesale real estate they don't care so much about the Aesthetics, more about what's the reality of the house, so maybe just a 3D scan is what they are looking for. interested in hearing your opinion.
It’s very difficult to make a business just out of doing 3D scans. Almost all agents will go to their photographer for that service and most likely the photographer provides it. Also, it’s not nearly as high demand service as photography is. It’s more like a “side dish”. My advice would be to get into the regular photography first and foremost. The rest will follow. That’s your path to entry.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Thanks for your advice. how do you suggest I find out if I have an eye for photography, when I am at the stage that I don't even understand what effect the settings on the camera have on the photo. Is there any way to know if I have hope before spending the money on gear? Thanks for the great Channel I love your content!
Hey Mike, great video. I really like your soft bright look. Since you don't use flash perhaps you could consider doing an edit workflow video showing how you get from the brackets to the finished product. I think we'd all fine that very helpful. Anyway, appreciate your videos!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Thanks for the link! When you were shooting the bathrooms, I saw in the reflection that there was something on top of your camera. Do you mind me asking what that is?
@@brianmacdonald216 That is just my external video recorder (Atomos Ninja V) which allows me to record my camera screen for tutorial like this so you can see what I'm seeing through my camera.
Amazing, do you have a video on how you made the edits. I shoot on a Sony a7Riii when I do a 3 bracket my final image the windows are still really blown out. How did you set the whiteblance or do you leave it as auto and edit after?
I did just get myself an a7riii for portraits but the video capability isnt as good in low light like the a7iii. Wonder how good the new a7iv will be or if it's not going to be as good for video. That be a good video.
@@socalmedia33 you mean for lowlight in particular? The A7IV should be similar to a7iii in that regard, maybe slightly less good because of the higher megapixels. The A7IV should be a great video camera though overall.
Love your channel so much.... digging your videos from the past 3-4 days. Thinking of starting my own small scale real estate photo venture. Any tips on how to reach out to potential clients without any work to show? Any tips for complete beginners who have experience in shooting such photos but want to create a solid portfolio for more serious work?
Thanks! It will be very hard to reach out to clients with no work to show. I would suggest shooting anyone you knows home to build up some sort of portfolio. You could also try shooting for another real estate photography company to gain experience and build a portfolio that way as well.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography yup, I have become quite dependent on the in camera level on my 6500 as a guide and starting point. Thought I would try shooting a house with my 6000 and realized it had no level; it was at that moment that I was made aware of how much I use that small feature.
I noticed you shoot at iso 400. Most articles and videos I've seen suggest 100 iso. I use a Nikon D7500 with a sigma 10-20 4.5-5.5 wide angle zoom. Wondering if I should try 400 iso too.
Yes for maximum quality iso 100 is the way to go. I’ve experimented with my own setup and there is literally almost no perceptible quality difference between iso 100 and 400 in my case so I tend to use 400 a lot to speed things up a bit. If I can hardly tell the difference then my clients certainly won’t. The d7500 is a crop sensor though so it will most likely be less forgiving than a full frame in the noise department. I’d say give a try and do the same shot in 100 and 400 and see what the difference is like and make your decision based off of that.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography thanks foe for the information. I have watched 3 or 4 of your videos and love them. My wife is a realtor in the Nashville area and I do all of her photos.
@@jtsandbird can’t speak for the Nikon lens but when I first started real estate photography I shot with a canon camera and used a similar tokina lens and I was pretty happy with it.
Hey! I wanted to ask, how many different focal lengths do you typically use for both RE photography & videography? I’m curious because I’m in the position to either purchase the 16-35mm GM or spend around $700 for a 15mm f2 no distortion Laowa and another lens around the $700-800 price point whether it’s a Tamron 17-28 or another lens. & use the remaining money to purchase a gimbal, polarizer filter etc. thank you for your expertise!
Sandy Gonzales I definitely use the full 16-35 range but I’d definitely say over 90% of my shots are between 16-20mm. You could certainly go the other route you described. Whatever you think will suit you best!
They are 5 bracketed shots that get blended together in editing so yes, the editing process effects the exposure of the final image after the blending is done.
How do you avoid lens flare from recessed lights in the ceiling? I put a lens hood on and try different angles but the only way I'm successful is to not have the ceiling with recessed lighting in the shot.
I don’t experience much of a problem with that but once in a while I have to hold my hand over top so light isn’t hitting the lens and causing any flares
This was super helpful and interesting. I would love to see more of these!

Do you ever shoot portrait style photos in Real Estate, or do you avoid those all together? Like for smaller bathrooms? Thanks man. Great videos.
Thanks! No, I never use portrait orientation for any real estate work.
Do you ever use or would recommend using either a lens hood or an ND filter for real estate photography?
Bro ur content is sooo good! But how the heck were you able to get the camera out on photoshop for the bathroom shot hahah how you do it?
Thanks! Haha, photoshop my man! I’ll have to make a video on that
