Thank you!

Thank you too!

You're very welcome!

Thank you! I appreciate that.

I'm so glad that was a new discovery for you! 😊

I offer my clients two things when they mention they'll virtually stage images with another service (1) I can give them faster turnaround if I do it myself and (2) I can provide a higher quality image. If your clients virtually stage your images and they never mentioned it to you, then it's likely that your clients weren't aware that was a service you provide. If that's the case, make sure you promote that you can; for instance, when entering a vacant property use that as an opportunity to tell your client that you can virtually stage it, and promote the two advantages I mentioned (turnaround and quality).

You're very welcome!

Thank you! I'm happy I could help you avoid an impulse buy 😃

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! To your question: As I mentioned in the video, color temp and balance will vary greatly throughout an interior space, so using color checkers or gray cards provide little assistance for accurate colors throughout a space. Second, time is of the essence doing real estate photography, so using physical color aids of any type will soak up valuable time. Since a color checker or gray card aren't reliable for interiors, the time spent using them is not worth it. Instead, there are numerous, faster ways to deal with this in post, which I cover in my course Expert Editing for Interior Photography, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ExpertEditing.NathanCool.com

Thank you! Feel free to email me directly at [email protected] if you need more info, I'll be happy to explain differences and any concerns you have. In short, my courses at LearnRE.NathanCool.com provide a more comprehensive approach to learning RE photography than my books can. The courses cover more material than the books do, and each course comes with about 30 video lessons, each going in-depth with me showing first-hand how things work, and are accomplished. The courses are updated regularly, which is something the books can't offer. The courses also come with RAW files so that you can follow along and practice (the books don't come with RAW files, only the courses do). And if you are enrolled in my courses you get 50% off private Zoom sessions with me. My books, btw, are in color; both the print and e-book versions. The "Kindle" version is best read using the free Kindle app, available for most devices, and the e-books can also be read using a browser. Thanks again, and feel free to email me any questions directly.

@@NathanCoolPhoto Thank you very much for the detailed information Nathan, I've just sent you an email

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

Thank you! I appreciate that!

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!

Thank you! I'm glad you found this useful.

Glad this video could help with your motivation! 👍

Thank you! Practice makes perfect, and that telescope is indeed amazing 😂

Thank you!

I'd go directly to CubiCasa and ask them that, I'm sure customer support can answer that and also give you tips on doing it or something similar.

Thanks! That's covered in my course "Expert Editing for Interior Photography" at ExpertEditing.NathanCool.com

Sounds like it's time to get a new trigger. I'd recommend the XProii amzn.to/48Krthl

Thank you. And nope, no need for a CPL, which can cause other issues. I never use a CPL for REP and don't recommend it either, for various reasons I talk about on my KZbin channel.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video!

Thank you! If you're overexposing the ceiling from bouncing flash then you're doing it wrong. It might help to take a look at my pro interiors course, which goes through lighting in detail. Here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProInteriors.NathanCool.com

Thank you!

Thanks, I'll respond to your email ASAP!

You're very welcome! I work with photographers in the UK and I can honestly say that the issue you're experiencing is the same here in the U.S. and other countries as well. It's not a UK thing. What you're "experiencing" is an overgeneralization, and it's not accurate to any market. Instead, the issue you're seeing is from not seeking out the "right" clients. About 80% of real estate agents have a short career lasting just a few years, so they tend to cut corners. The other 20% is your target audience, which is why I suggest the two approaches of 6-degrees and Local Lure like I discussed in this video. Once you have done the initial research I talk about in step 1 in this video, you'll eventually get into client research with those two approaches, which, as I mentioned in the video, requires you to look them up to see if they are a big enough producer to make it worth your while. But above all else, don't group all clients into one bucket. That's an overgeneralization that can harm any business or industry. Lastly, although you feel you are in the 20% quality bracket, it would be good to get the opinion of other pros to see if that truly is the case. I do offer this with remote sessions via Zoom, if you're interested you can email me for more info at [email protected]

Thank you for that! Much appreciated, and glad you liked the video!

No need, the steps and features are the same. BTW, I show this in much more detail in my Pro Exteriors course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProExteriors.NathanCool.com

It's a bit more involved than that, but I cover this in great detail in my pro interiors course, here's a link if you'd like to check that out: ProInteriors.NathanCool.com

I still use this setup, and much prefer the Z5 over the Z6.

I break that all down in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5zRimWherpjkJIsi=UT8I3GYpChXzc3P7

Thank you - very helpful. I picked up a couple of your books recently (Mastering Flambient + Photography for Interiors) and I feel like I'm learning lots.

Camera manufacturers release different grade cameras at different times depending on a number of factors, but primarily what they believe will sell best at a given time. The Z6 was initially released in 2018 and Z5 in 2020. Why exactly Nikon chose to release the Z5 two years later is something only they would know for sure, but in the big scheme of things, it's the product, not its release date, that is most important. I have both cameras, and for stills I much prefer the Z5 over the Z6.

@ thank you Nathan 🙏

Thank you! Lens and camera choices vary by budget and there's a lot to discuss on the subject, but this can help you with that question and many others you may have: amzn.to/3Yo7Xm0

@NathanCoolPhoto Thank you for your response.👍👍👍
