This video is a comprehensive look at how to edit architectural photography. The complete photo editing post-production workflow. I'm going to share a recent project where I've been hired by the joinery company to photograph this kitchen for the upcoming awards and for promotional purposes such as their website, magazine ads and entry into the awards. They wanted approximately 6 images to showcase the kitchen. I'll talk you through the images I took while I was there and briefly my thought process behind these photos. I'll do a full walkthrough of the post-production. I'm using three pieces of software to arrive at my final result, Lightroom, Photoshop and Luminar.
I discuss why I select certain photos to work on, how I edit them in advance in Lightroom and get them ready for a more detailed composite in Photoshop. I then show how I'm leveraging artificial intelligence in my edits by running a simple enhancement in Luminar AI that helps give the photo the final look.
We'll be working on a set of interior photos here but a lot of the techniques and steps will be relevant to all types of architectural photography. Personally, I believe the level of detail I go into for these images is overkill for Real Estate photography, but the initial lightroom edit and also the quick enhancements with Luminar may be very relevant to the real estate photographers out there too.
I'm going to try to explain what I'm doing at each step, and why, and while I hope everyone from beginner photographers right through to working professionals will gain something from the video, if you have any questions please leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks so much for watching 🙏 I'd love to hear from you in the comments.

Great news for the architecture photography fans out there. I've now set up a dedicated channel bit.ly/ATArchitecture you're welcome to subscribe for free training if that's your thing! See you there :)
I definitely made sense to me and yes more please
Thanks for sharing mate. So informative and professional. Big thumb up
Much appreciated! Thanks Daniel!
Great tips. Lotta sense.Gonna bookmark for reference. Thanks.
Great stuff Neil!
Amazing as always! I must try Aurora HDR too sometime.
Fantastic as always thanks so much Anthony!
I never knew about using shift click to create a straight brush line.. so handy :D
Absolutely. I love that too.
My pleasure!
Anthony, very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to put this out there. And yes, it all made sense.
Glad it was helpful Mike!
I’m not an architectural photographer but this was fascinating... dare I say “illuminating” 😎
Haha. Nice one Barrie. Cheers for watching!
Thank you for sharing, extra super useful!
You're very welcome!
can you put your few images in public, as a new photographer we can try this things out in our own hands, just for learning purpose. thank you. this is best tutorial on youtube.
Cheers for the comment, great idea mate! The issue I've got is that most of the architecture I shoot is for clients and are of peoples homes. That makes it tricky to freely distribute them.
Great vid! Thank you.
Architecture.
My pleasure!
Love your vids….this helps me a lot! Thanks for your efforts!
Glad you like them!
Made sense. Thanks!
This is literally the BEST tutorial I've watched on this! The pace, and explanation was perfect... I found it really useful how you explained what things were doing when you pressed certain things as I find often that other tutorials are just like "click here, then click here" and there's no real explanation of what you're actually doing so you fail to get an understanding of it! Nice one, thanks man! :D
Thanks Anthony. 😀 I really love these kind of comments. They make my day!
wow!!! great video!!!
Thanks!!
made a lot of sense
Simply phenomenal. My brain is still trying to process it. You should do two things, Anthony. First, find a way to offer these shirts you’re wearing during the videos for sale. And step 2. Correct the spelling. It should read MAT. Magician AT 👌
Thanks so much. Very kind of you!
Many thanks from the Basque Country too! You have a follower on the other side of the world! Jon
Wow, thanks! Love having a global audience. Welcome to the channel Jon!
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you for your effort!
Glad it was helpful!
More! Best yet.
Hi David. Thank you. You might like my new architecture channel bit.ly/ATArchitecture That's where I'll be sharing content like this going forward.
More please
LOVE your videos. They are so informative and precisely instructed. Very well done. I have learned so much in a short time.
Awesome! Thank you Russell!
Made sense to me, fantastic video, i learned so much! I think the only thing I might add (from my limited knowledge) would be to try to even out the colour casts across the white walls, ceiling. Great job!
Thanks Patrick, if you enjoyed this, you might want to check out my dedicated architecture editing youtube channel bit.ly/ATArchitecture There's more content like this and I'll be putting more up there going forward. Cheers for watching and the comment! 😀
This is so awesome. I really like the way you approached luminosity masking and clone stamping. Very nice.
Also for color casts, I like using a blank layer in the color blend mode, using the eye-dropper tool to grab a good base color, and painting the color in.
Made sense, more please!
Yes, that a good technique. I use that one too, although I normally just go with a perfectly neutral colour as my base. Black/white/ grey, whatever really as long as it has no colour saturation.
Made sense, thanks for posting. Would like to see how you approach a room with less ambient light, i.e. in need of your new strobe.
Noted! Cheers Peter
great video, thank you
You're welcome.
Great review.
Thank you, made sense
Awesome process. Very detailed and involved. This really gives people like me an informed peek at all the skill and effort that goes into producing images of this quality. Thank you for sharing!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Francesco. Glad it was helpful! You may also like my dedicated channel bit.ly/ATArchitecture
Made sense. More please. Great videos, thank you. What factors make you decide to use either HDR or PS compositing?
Brilliant! Although my line of work is within the world of theatre, photo editing, particularly portrait enhancement, has been my thing for many years. Your skillful approach is absolutely stunning! Congrats!
Thanks for that Norman!
Thank you! This was extremely helpful and not confusing at all for me. And, yes, more please.
Glad it was helpful Fran!
Interesting combination of editing. Have you ever considered a CPL filter to avoid reflections and a color checker? I just started incorporating both into my workflow. X-Rite passport 2, and B+W CPL Filter. I shoot with Sony and the unfortunate thing that they lack is proper color, so the X-rite helps to adjust along with profile corrections.
Hi Grant. Yeah I've got the original colour checker passport and occasionally use it. Tbh if I'm shooting where there's a lot of neutral I will usually just set my white balance from that and adjust if need be.
Made sense
Looooveeee!!! more please.
Thanks. Will do.
Amazing video! Loved the way you taught all along the way. I will definitely enjoy more of this! I think you convinced me to get Luminar AI... Thanks for the video! Go get that glass of water!
Awesome! Thank you Hugo! Haha, water never tasted so good!
Great video👍 Maybe you can make a short video and use Aurora. I am very curious about the result this program does on this foto. Ofcourse you don’t have to retouche the photo further. Just to show how it looks next to this photo. Greetings from the Netherlands
Hi Richard. I have done a video on Aurora. Not exactly in the way you've suggested but it certainly gives a good overview of what it's capable of: ruclips.net/video/iXTbDYhHAVU/видео.html
In fact there's two! Here's the other one all about HDR and how to get the most out of it: ruclips.net/video/vKHJdstcGVk/видео.html
@@AnthonyTurnham Thank you
Great tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
Made perfect sense. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Such a great tutorial. I love how thorough you are with your explanations of your process. Learning so much from your videos. Thank you!
Thanks Feriel.
made sense
Thanks, Anthony! Great video. Made sense to me. And yes, more, please. I would like to see some stuff like this for residential real estate photography.
You got it Kirk! I have quite a few shoots lined up so I should have some new material to work with and demo techniques. I have a whole library of work I've already edited, but I hate re-doing work I've already done, so getting some new shots will be great. I'm looking forward to it!
This was wonderful. Thank you so much. You make this feel within the range of possibility for me.
You are so welcome!
More please
Excellent tutorial, thank you! “Makes sense” and “More, please”! ;)
Hey just wanted to say that your tutorials are extremely well thought out and articulated. It's great to have someone show a beginner real estate photographer the techniques that the pros, like yourself are using to produce high quality stills. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I'll be implementing these techniques on my next shoot!
Nice feedback Tyler! 👌 Thanks buddy! 🙏
I will be trying this with my interiors for sure...love the blending you teach. More please ;)
Thanks Roxanne. I'll definitely be doing more in the future. :)
amazing,,i'm from Indonesia,
thank you for providing good knowledge for me to be able to develop better in interior photography
1 hour of my life? I don't think so! Well I clicked play and I'm so glad I did! I learnt so much in every minute of this video it's ridiculous!!!! Thank you so much for sharing yet more of your knowledge. You're a great teacher and I love watching how you tackle photographic "problems" and think about things that I never would consider! I guess that's how you get the high paying clients! Thanks for touching on Luminar too. You may have seen I've commented on your other Luminar videos. I have the software and love it. It's nice to see it feature in your high-end workflow.
Thanks for sticking with it Hannah and I'm glad you got a lot out of it 😀
Loved it it was a lot to take in but it made me think about a lot of things I haven't been doing that I could be. Now it's just trying to keep track of all the different possibilities and how to get there LOL
architecture
Wow, far more than expected! You really went above and beyond on this video, Thanks ever so much!
You're very welcome David! Yeah I spent a while on this one so I'm glad you like it :)
This is basically a masterclass, thank you for all of this free valuable information :)
You're welcome Marty.
Do you think luminosity masking might make it's way into Luminar AI, or is there an equivalent technique? Looks like you used it extensively within Adobe, but that particular feature didn't make the jump from Luminar 4 to AI as I've gathered.
Unsure if it'll resurface in LuminarAI... My hunch is it's only going to be in L4 and won't get migrated. Skylum are trying to make editing easier and I think luminosity masking, being a more complex editing technique, is being dropped for that reason. Just my thoughts though - I could be wrong.
Great vid. Thnx
You've really made me relook at my editing process. Excellent tutorial.
Normally love your videos Anthony, but this one not so much.
It just goes on ad nauseum... It was like you had no idea of what you wanted to do. I shoot real estate and do use HDR occasionally but spending more than 10 minutes per photo or 'set' of photos would completely destroy my workflow, as well as my compensation rate. There is simply no workflow here at all.
Informative for sure ...but as a workflow ...madness!
Fair enough. Bit of a throw back this one. A re-upload from my other channel. Perhaps my delivery or video structure has improved from when I put this recording together. I appreciate the feedback. 😀👍
This is not reall an "architectural" level of photography. There are a lot of issues with the image. From composition being too wide and not very strong (1/3 of the image is the ceiling) to color casts issues (there is a ton of bad contamination all over ) to horizontals being off and light not being very directional and just flat looking. This is more of a real estate level kind of shot. I would definitely suggest to learn and practice more before making such videos for others. In the end this is actually one of the most difficult types of photography to do well. All the best!
I'm just glad my high paying clients don't see it that way 😆
Made sense
Always white walls let’s see you fancy you tubers do a house that has been painted by the customer a beige wall in the hall and living room that connects to a white kitchen with a red checked black splash and a dining room with green walls
Thanks man. I like that title, "fancy youtuber" 👌😀
Hi Anthony,
I have requested if you can do edit of your subscriber pictures. It would help us appreciate your way of editing more. would you be able to do that ? i have sent you an email before as well.
I'll take a look Faisal. 👀 I do have quite a back log of requests though. But yep, I'll take a look. 😀
Hey, great vídeo. Tell me something, aurora is it really worth it?
Hi Marcelo. That depends if it's going to fit into your workflow or not. I shoot a lot of architecture and landscapes on tripod with bracketed exposures so for me - absolutely. I don't use it all the time but I've got to know when the results from Aurora are just the ticket. If I spread the cost over the numebr of images I've used it on then it's cents per photo and been a no-brainer investment. But you need to look at your workflow and the style of photography you do to answer that.
WOW one of you best tutorials and not sure how I didn't see this sooner. So much content, extremely well explained and at a pace that was easy to follow. Thank you doesn't seem to cover it and show how much appreciated we are of your time and effort in putting these together. Keep up the fantastic work Anthony. Oh yes more please!

Made sense and more please. I would love to do a good job at photographing shops and shop windows. Thank you
Hi Natacha. I've got more content like this over at my other channel: bit.ly/ATArchitecture I'd recommend subscribing to that one as that's where all my future architecture editing videos will be released in the future.
Blending the exposures was great. Can you make a video on how to combine exposure for free, I mean not any paid plugin?
The blending part is all done with the tools that ship natively with Photoshop. No thrird party software needed for the exposure blending.
using Photoshop Own HDR processing always gives Very flat images. So I combine exposure in Lightroom. It does a pretty good job but some times it creates noise in particular shapes. Like it is increasing exposure not combining them
Thank you this and your other videos. I appreciate the time to put into sharing your hard earned experience.
Thanks Mark. I think you'd probably like my new youtube channel dedicated to architecture editing: bit.ly/ATArchitecture There'll be heaps more videos like this one going up over there.
your workflow made sense thank you!
Great Tutorial ! thank you for your time !
made sense !!
please make more!
Thank you so very much for your tutorials!
Thanks mate. I'm putting more up in future on my architecture channel. The link's in the description. Hope to see you there! 😀
More please with the Godox AD600 in the mix too. Thanks!
Ah, the trusty Godox AD600pro. Yes, I think some vids featuring that light would be a great idea. Thanks Andrew.
Anthony, thank you for your wonderful points and description. You’re a great teacher. More tips please!
Thanks Teri 😀
I am into Architectural photography and RUclips showed me your channel first. Amazing job what you are doing man, I learned a lot from your videos. just wanted to let you that Luminar code isn't working. I tried it yesterday and I had no discount at all. Keep it up
Thanks for the comment and for watching! Regarding the code... was there already some sort of promotion on when you went to buy Luminar or Aurora? If there is then the code won't work as there's already a discount in place. Let me know. I'm intrigued. Cheers. 👍
@@AnthonyTurnham well, I choose the package for 2 PC's for 168$. I don't know if this is already with a discount.
Great tut. Your teaching style is well paced with a good mix of detail and explanation and easy to follow. Thanks for putting this together.
You're very welcome!
Made sense. 🙏🏽
Thanks for the feedback.
This was great, thank you! More please!
Bravo Sir, absolutely amazing work. I used to use Luminar, but now use SNS HDR, definitely worth a look. 👍
Cheers Nick. Yeah, SNS is a good HDR option. I prefer bit.ly/3gBvnQy but whatever works in your process and workflow :)
I wish I was experienced enough to follow this. It's just over my head with a lot of the things I haven't had experience with. Thanks Anthony.
Hi Conrad. Good feedback. Yes, there's some pretty advanced concepts in here so a good basis in Photoshop to get the most out of the video is useful.
Any ideas where or how to learn those advanced methods with Photoshop? There is so much on You Tube. Not sure where to start if you know what I mean?
Another great film, even greater than previous! :)
I tried to use Luminar but i my computer is working with that veeery slowly, i need to buy something better. What do you think is enough/most important in computer for editing heavy photos in Ps/Lr and don't loose time, which I can spend on making more photos :)?
Funny you ask. I just spent the weekend researching and purchasing a new laptop. Very hard to get a laptop that comes close to my now 2 year old desktop PC. But anyway, what you need is a good processor - I'm running an AMD Ryzen 7, it's 2 years old but still very fast. 16GB of Ram as a minimum. I have 32. And ideally, run your programs from an m.2 solid state drive (Also known as NVMe). 512gb is your minimum. I'm running 2 x 1TB versions. Regarding graphics cards, unless you're hoping to play games or work in 3D apps you don't need to overspend here. A mid range NVidia card will suffice for photo editing. Hope that helps a bit
Yeah, thanks! I found something used but available tommorow with Ryzen 5 and 32Gb Ram soo world of Big Shooting, i'm comming!
Thank you Anthony! I feel have been thrown in the deep end a bit with an interior photography shoot but your fantastic tutorials have eased my anxiety. I do have a question... Do you use layering of exposures to create a HDR image for most photos you take on a shoot, or is it only for those that have high contrast?
Glad my videos have helped! 😀 My rule for merging multiple exposures is: only merge when you have to, and only use the minimum no. of exposures to get the job done. If you have windows showing the exterior, chances are you'll need at least 2 exposures...
@@AnthonyTurnham Thank you!
Great tutorial, thank you very much. I'm trying to use Aurora following your suggestion but it seems it doesn't support Canon CR3 files which makes it totally useless for any professional work unfortunately.
What about the color cast? There is a lot of blues near windows and some magenta and some orange on the ceiling. Do you remove the color casts usually or you dont need to worry about it ? Thank you, amazing tutorial. I'm looking for the right way to keep the white walls white =)
Absolutely amazing, 100% made sense.
Thanks 😀
Lot to lean for beginner. Shows me what I need to lean.
Hi Patrick, if you're starting out with architecture and real estate photography you might like my new channel dedicated to that genre: bit.ly/ATArchitecture That's where I'll be posting this type of content going forward.

Made sense to me but I started photographing with an 8 by 10 view camera and film holders of Ektachrome A.S.A. 32.
Fantastic Richard. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Anthony thank you for thus tutorial which has been very instructive for me, but a little extra, after selecting your pictureseither by using shit+ hold when you filtered on p or by picking one by one using ctrl + hold, you can use the shortcut keys win : alt + hold then p + e + o+ o and finally enter, which brings you PS, for mac you can create a short cut key combination in the submenu edit + open in layers in PS.
Hey thanks Marc. Good tip! 👍
Very enjoyable I've some to go to thanks
Fantastic. Glad you enjoyed it Peter!
